This was a gift for my mom with very wide feet. It appears well made for indoor use. The actual sole width seems narrow for the length. I'm hoping they hold up.

My husband loves these. So warm and easy on the soles of his feet. These will not damage tatami surfaces, while rubber soled slippers will.

For 20 years my Acorn slipper socks were my go-to slippers. These were an older style with a fleece top and elastic cuff around the ankle. They were very cozy and very secure on my feet. Sadly they were lost on a family trip, much to my dismay when I realized that style was no longer available.
I replaced them with these socks, which are cozy. They are probably too hot to wear in summer (unlike the old style) and the don't hold your foot as snugly, though they are still more snug than most slippers if you get the right size. I had to return them and order a size smaller than advertised as the large was huge - more like a mens 12-13 shoe than the advertised 9-10. The medium was much closer to my shoe size (men's 9.5.)

We had a house fire and my husband couldn't find these anywhere. These are exactly what he had and he's thrilled. It took them FOREVER to get here. I think they were sent by pony express so don't get them for a gift unless you give them a lot of leeway. Ridiculous wait.

slippers are a half to big, width is great, no arch support, but I didn't need that in the slippers.

My husband loves this slipper. I've bought it for him as a gift for years and he's always happy for the new pair. They're also well-made and durable. My only complaint is that the part of the slipper that wears out is the top of the toe. The new Slouch Slippers have a reinforcement on the top of the toe but he prefers the original slipper style. I'd love it if Acorn added a style option to the original slipper sock with a reinforcement on the top of the toe!

I love the slippers, they remind me of what I would get on Christmas day back in the 1950's! My only complaint about them is they are very narrow around the ankle. I bought a MD size and my ankles are normal in size for my height, however they left stretch marks on my ankle and were not comfortable when wearing them. I took two large plastic drink glasses and inserted them into the socks at the ankle and left them on the table that way for a week. They didn't stretch much at all, so I think I will moisten the fabric and re-inset the glasses and see if that stretches them a bit.

The fit of these slippers is odd. I ordered the women’s 8-9 since my shoe size is 8; but perhaps I should have ordered the 7/7.5. The foot part is too long and too wide. The sock part is tight — although they may stretch, but I’m not certain of this — making them challenging to “slip” into as one would with a regular slipper. Also, the bottom of the slipper is ... slippery on wood, and, since much of my house has wood floors, this is a problem. I got them because for keeping not just my feet but also my ankles warm, but wanted the ease of putting on, and that is not the case. So, I may return them.

A great idea, but extremely hard to fashion a fit that works for everyone. These are made for people with a slim to average build. I am neither. So I will have to employ a crew of assistants to pull on or remove them. The sock materials need to be stretched quite a bit to fit me.

If you do not have wide feet these would fit fine. They were well made and warm.

So I found these slipper socks brand new at a thrift store for 2 bucks. Noticed they sized was in both men and women's which was bool. I wear a size 9 in women's these are an 11-12 in women and are about a half size to big. I would have liked a little more elasticity in the sock but for 2 bucks I'm not mad.

I have had the wool (all colors but the light grey). The wool ones are too tight around the ankle and run small. The light grey is the only color that comes in a cotton blend. The cotton blend material is so much more comfortable (less tight and true to size). I love them. The only con is the light color-when washed, the leather orange color gets on the sock portion of the slipper sock. I don't think this can be avoided; I wish Acorn made the cotton version in a couple of darker colors as well (red and or grey). Then, the orange that bleeds when washing wouldn't be noticble.

Bought these for warmth to wear in house. Plenty warm, but uncomfortable to wear, because the soles don't stay on the bottom. The inner cushioning has no shape, to keep my foot in place. As I walk and turn, my foot slips to either side, and then I'm walking on the sides. You've been making these for years. Didn't anyone test them before ? I can't be the only person with this complaint. The size is men's 9 - 10 which is perfect front to back, so I don't think they're too big.

Bought these for the hubby for christmas. He loves them but they re too big. I bought thrm for his size foot, but they run way too big, which is a bummer because he says he feels like he's flopping around the house in them.

Love these slipper socks. They do run small. My husband received these as s gift. A size medium men's fits me, his wife. I wear a woman's size 8 shoe. These are just a bit large on me. They are the most comfortable and warm slipper socks I have ever owned. Very happy that they are now mine!

Love these things. Just wish there were more sizes, i.e. half sizes available.

Everyone is right about the changes from the old, made in Maine, slipper socks. These are still cozy, but there's something weird about the fit compared to the old ones that fit perfectly. The socks are a little tighter at the ankle, and the length seems a little longer. (I wear a 38 shoe which puts me between sizes for the slippers, and I went with the larger ones, figuring that a little larger is better than too small.) For me, the ankles are noticeable but not a problem; someone with thicker ankles is going to be unhappy. If Acorn had to send these to China, couldn't they have kept the old specs?

First pair I bought fit perfect. The 2nd pair the sizing is different. They are to long. I bought them for my 93 yr. old father. He wears them all day, every where. Unable to wear 2nd pair to long and he tripped and fell. I want to order another pair for him but am unable to figure out a correct size and so far unable to reach you by phone to ask about sizing.

These are my winter go to for around the house...they are fairly durable but they do wear out within a couple years as the stitching around the bottom sole pulls away from the sock fabric. I am on my third pair in the last five years, I like the comfort of these as a slipper and feel it is a good bang for the buck in these times of disposable products!
