About Acorn
From the original Slipper Sock to technologically advanced indoor/outdoor footwear, ACORN offers an expansive and varied collection of lifestyle products appropriate for all seasons. ACORN has blurred the boundaries between slippers and shoes and created footwear that goes where you go…at home or on the go. In each new collection, ACORN slippers, shoes, sandals and socks offer comfort, quality, versatility, and style. It’s the perfect transitional footwear that goes wherever you want it to.
ACORN products reflect the closely held values of founder David Quinn, who started the company over 30 years ago with a loan from his father. His goal was to bring "Comfort on Earth" to customers who value quality, workmanship, and performance. Quinn’s original, iconic Slipper Sock was based on memories of family ski vacations spent padding through the cabin in old-fashioned slippers with socks attached. He networked with merchants and worked with a cobbler to create 22 pairs as gifts for grateful family and friends. Since then, ACORN has remained committed to innovative design, high quality, and unsurpassed comfort.
In 1982, NASA astronauts began wearing Slipper Socks in space. Since then, astronauts have worn Slipper Socks on NASA shuttle missions, logging more than 500,000,000 miles in their ACORNS. The Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum has a pair of Slipper Socks on permanent exhibit.
