Acorn Slippers of Maine A note from Elizabeth Boulanger Kelly, Co-Owner of Serene Comfort. I am particularly pleased to recommend Acorn Slippers Footwear to our customers. I had the privilege of serving as President of Acorn Slippers for almost 10 years and my husband followed me as President for 2 more years. We both know first hand how much pleasure and comfort Acorn Slippers wearers get from their slippers. Over the years, we heard from hundreds of fans of Acorn Slippers who had been wearing them for 10, 15, even 20 years. Here at SereneComfort.com, we have brought together classic Acorn slippers which have been tried and true and some newer styles which have built on the comfort integrity of previous styles. I would first like to introduce you to my personal favorite, Popcorn textured moc Acorn Slippers. A new favorite of mine is the Velcro Adjustable Spa Acorn Slippers... this gem of a women's slipper is made from a luscious microfleece terry that relieves tired feet just looking at it.

Below is a little history about Acorn Slippers Footwear, Acorn Products Company, that I would like to share with you so that you can get an understanding of what makes Acorn Slippers Footwear of Maine so special. |
History of Acorn Slipper Company: December, 1973, founder, David K. Quinn, gave nine hand-made pairs of slipper socks for family gifts. They were received with warmth and a rush of fond memories of "slipper sock" days gone by. Upon returning home to Lewiston, Maine, a former shoe capital of the East, David was encouraged by friends in the industry to manufacture those "memories" with improvements; using current materials and technology. And, so, ACORN Products Company began - a simple cottage industry with one product: ACORN Slipper Socks. Wool. Grey twist. The original slipper socks were personally delivered to and from the rural Maine homes of cutters, stitchers, packers, and the like. Each one performed their job with meticulous care and pride. The company grew into a factory setting in one of Lewiston's old mill buildings. Generations of skilled shoe makers hummed through the transition from cottage industry to factory production. ACORN focused on perfecting every last detail of the slipper sock. Just in time. When astronaut Ken Mattingly took his ACORN Slipper Socks on the 1982 Columbia space shuttle mission, the world opened up to ACORN. We've designed and innovated ever since to create the classics America has grown to love: the original Sandal Sox, Polar Pairs, Tex Mocs, and Sheepskin favorites. From our beautiful Lewiston home we source the world to provide the best quality products, service and value. Our commitment: Comfort on Earth Free Shipping on Orders Over $50 by Fast Priority Mail
