Acorn products reflect the closely-held values of founder David Quinn, who started the company in 1976. His goal was to bring the "Comfort on Earth" to consumers who value quality, workmanship, and performance. From the original Slipper Sock to technologically advanced indoor/outdoor footwear, Acorn now offers consumers an expansive and varied collection of indoor and outdoor footwear appropriate for all seasons.
Acorn is based in Lewiston, Maine, a town with a rich history of manufacturing shoes. The first Slipper Socks were made by local cutters, stitchers and packers. Their tradition is maintained today in hand-sewn detail-rich footwear.
