We’ve talked about Acorn here on the blog before. We’re talked about specific styles and we’ve shown you their extended widths, their Vegan footwear and their earth friendly slippers. Acorn has focused their footwear on comfort.

Every pair of slippers, shoes and slipper socks are engineered for maximum comfort with contoured cushioned footbeds and sturdy but flexible indoor/outdoor soles. Basically, Acorn shoes and slippers are designed to be the kind of footwear you never want to take off and the shoes or slippers you wonder how you ever lived without.

In the past, we’ve focused our Acorn inventory on comfort slippers and slipper socks, but we’re psyched to bring you some great Acorn shoe options! We now have Acorn boots, Acorn casual shoes and even some Acorn Sandals for both men and women. Let me introduce you to the new Acorn footwear style for fall, the versatile and super comfortable Earthroamer.

The concept behind the Acorn Earthroamer is a shoe that can meet the needs of men and women in various styles. We offer an ankle bootie for women and a Moc and Clog for men and women. The look of the shoe is casual and rugged and it’s feature rich.

The Earthroamer is water resistant style and simply slips on with an elasticized panel for maximum comfort and a snug fit. The boot is made of heathered felt which is 50% wool and 50% recycled PET that is treated to make the boot water repellent to keep you warm and dry. The footbed is made from molded PU and is removable and the unique looking outsole is made with rubber pressed with natural Jute.

These men’s and women’s boots, mocs and clogs are perfect for chilly fall days and brisk winter mornings. They’ll feel like slippers while you get the support and protection you need on a daily basis. They are eco-friendly as well and like all Acorn footwear, shipped to you in recycled packaging.

So basically, you get a great value on an eco-friendly shoe that is also super comfortable and designed to be cozy and durable no matter the elements. No brainer, right?

P.S. Don’t forget, we have a TON of Acorn slippers for fall and winter in stock right now - ready to keep you warm and comfortable on those days at home. So check ‘em out!

The fall is upon us up here in the Northeast and I must say there is nothing better than coming down on a chilly morning to a delicious cup of hot fresh coffee in my cozy slippers. This is why I love fall. I’m sure come January I’ll be sick of my slippers but for now they are a welcome sign of fall and the cold weather to come. Choosing slippers can be more complicated than you might think – especially here at Planet. We have so many brands and styles from which to choose – wait, perhaps this is how I’ll get through my winter boredom!

So we’re going to do a little post series over the next few weeks on homage to slippers and the joy they bring to those of us in colder climates!
