About acorn

Founded in 1976, Acorn was originally known as the maker of the slipper sock. Founder David Quinn's goal was always comfortable footwear geared for people who value quality and craftsmanship, as well as performance footwear. Since its inception over 30 years ago, the company has branched out in its product, creating footwear for both indoor and outdoor use.

Conceived by Quinn from memories of comfortable slippers he had as a child, the iconic slipper sock began as a simple gift idea. What began as a creation made as a gift for friends and family turned into a marketable and innovative sensation of footwear. The company received even more publicity when NASA began outfitting their astronauts with Acorn Slipper Socks while in space.

In addition to the Slipper Sock, Acorn also now markets comfortable outdoor footwear for men, women, and children. Amongst their product line, clog type shoes are very popular. They also offer a variety of moccasins, boots, and sandals, including flip-flop styles. Of course they offer a wide selection of slippers, as well as socks and other accessories. Characterized by their plush materials, Acorn products are first and foremost made for comfort. Their innovative design and reasonable prices speak to the company's success and high level of customer satisfaction.
