Founded in 1976 by David Quinn, Acorn has brought ‘Comfort On Earth’ to feet around the world for 34 years. Always innovative, Acorn brings new designs, new ideas and an eye to the future with each new creation. From their first revolutionary slipper sock to the newest line of eco slippers, these are the top of the line in superior comfort. Acorn has been dedicated to being a environmentally responsible company, finding ways to incorporate organic and recycled materials as well as keeping their own footprint as small as possible.

Acorn has been a business leader for decades and they continue to lead the way in finding ways to reduce their environmental impact. They are actively finding ways to incorporate recycled materials in their product packaging. While at their headquarters in Lewiston, Maine they are eliminating toxic cleaning chemicals and recyling! The Acorn catalogs and collateral are printed on wood-free, PEFC-certified paper using soy-based ink- very cool. This company cares about the future of this planet and finding ways to thrive as a business in partnership with the environment.

Acorn’s Eco line of slippers features materials such as hemp, wool, cotton, silk and yak down and are a delight in style and in comfort. The Acorn Eco Thong has luxurious soft French terry linings of hemp and certified organic cotton.

The hemp is sustainably grown- which I love! And the natural properties of hemp make it durable and resistant to bacterial odor, a nice touch since no one likes smelly slippers! With simple, clean lines this series of eco slippers has a modern style. With several different styles of slipper from the scuff to the thong in this new line, you will find just the one for you.

Acorn’s line of Tribal slippers have gorgeous embroidery detail that layer pattern and color in an eye-catching design sure to be a favorite. The soft woven slippers are lined in a cotton blend of terry that will keep your toes just the right temperature while surrounded by softness.

The natural silk piping details around this slipper make it just that much more luxurious and rich in detail. An indoor-outdoor sole means you can make a quick run to the mailbox or to get the morning paper without fussing with changing your shoes. The Tribal slippers are here in three different looks, the ballet, scuff and thong, each using the embroider detail and super comfortable contoured footbed. I think my favorite is the Acorn Tribal ballet, and just for an extra bonus, it’s vegan!

Perfect for summer, the Acorn spa thong lets you keep the luxurious softness of a slipper all through the hot days ahead. I love the super soft cotton terry on these, you will, too! The contoured footbed designed by Acorn supports your feet increasing your stability when walking in these lush spa slippers.

A layer of lofty Acorn memory foam takes this slipper to the top of the list for comfort! These also have a skid resistant sole, which helps me keep my footing around the house. Four fresh colors mean you can pick your favorite! And again, Acorn has made all of this luxurious comfort vegan! So cool.

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!
