Customer Reviews Acorn Talara Mule

It's not really so much that they're too small in length, but that they're not wide enough- I don't have an exceptionally wide foot, either- and the band across the top of the foot is too tight. Also, the arch support is there, but there's not enough support. I'd say "low" arch support, rather than none. (But that's not one of the menu choices.) I really wanted these to work. They're very cute. And maybe they would have stretched out eventually, but I can't afford to take that chance and throw away $40 if they don't.

When I first put these on I thought, "Great, this are going to be good" because they felt right on my feet, not small and not large. But, as I wore them around the house that afternoon, I began to feel some pain in my legs. When I woke up the next day and was putting them on, I started to wonder if the pain would come back, and actually to dread walking in them. and, sure enough, the pain was there almost immediately. So, I wondered why and paid attention to how I walked in them. Immediately I realized that when I stepped down, it was my heel that was hitting the floor, but my toes were not. For some reason, on my feet the toe is somewhat raised, and all the weight goes to the heel, and in turn that makes my legs hurt. So, I had to return them. Now I know that I have to make sure whatever I order has has least some "lift" in the heel. Maybe if they had zero arch support they would not cause the leg pain because maybe the entire foot would touch ground on each step instead of only the heel. Whatever, they are nice looking, fit the foot well but have this one issue of not working right for me.

I wear a 8.5. These are tight and small probably because of the lining. It seems crazy to order extra large. I think if each pair of slippers were sized with one number rather than a range, it would be more accurate. So for now I’m snugging my feet into them in the hope they will stretch a bit. I will not buy an 8-9 size again. One or the other.

I wear an 8 or 8.5 in almost every type of shoe. This was a size medium which is supposed to be sz. 8-9. It was too small and tight across the top of my foot. I know other reviewers said they would stretch over time but I just don't think you should have to break in slippers and I know the next size up would be too big. They are really nice looking but back they go...

Too bad these only come in a few sizes meant to fit all (but not this shopper)! Cute slippers and very warm and cozy inside, but much too shallow at the arch and small for my size nines. They're going back . . .

Cute and cozy, like all mule slippers I've ever had from Acorn. I wouldn't change a thing about the slippers but they do seem a wee bit overpriced. Not compared to other Acorn slippers but just, for slippers.

I take a 7.5 so these slippers felt to small. I wear a 7.5 & 8 so finding Acorn slippers hard to fit plus a have a high arch.

These slippers were too small for my foot to slide in easily. I wear an 8 1/2 so I ordered size 8/9 in a M width. They were both too short and too narrow. They are attractive sturdy slippers so I was sorry to return them, but I was looking for a slipper I could get on quickly without a lot of work to get my foot inside, and these are not the slipper.

Not so comfy. the right-side on the bottom of the inside (heel area) was very obvious and annoyingly felt. The shoe was narrow, assume the felt would stretch if I would keep. This would be the right size in length if you are 7.5 (or 8)

Very stiff, no arch and a full size smaller than marked. But attractive.

Too loose; no coverage over the heel makes it feel like foot is slipping out.

Much too narrow. Back they go!

The lining of the slipper is already getting weird in less than a month of use. Would not recommend.
