ACORN is truly one of my very favorite brands of shoes and slippers. The craftsmanship and design is superb. I have 3 pairs of chinchillas, 2 Digby mules, 2 pairs of moccasins(forget the name) and a pair of scuffs in a vivid pattern. I was hoping rather vainly that I might be able to make these pass as ballet type shoes to wear to work on casual Fridays,  The material and stitching makes them surely look like slippers, but they are extremely pretty and feminine. I true shoe size is 9 1/2 narrow and I have learned to buy a half a size down in ACORN.  These slippers, however, are not staying on my feet. The back flops off so I curl my toes to try to keep them on of just give up and flop.  I have not washed them, and am hoping that after a wash in hot water they will shrink some and they won't be falling off.  They really are very pretty, the colors gorgeous.
I have also started buying Minnetonka on Amazon.  They are not quite as comfortable as ACORN, but they ARE shoes and I can wear them to work.  Like ACORN, I need to purchase a half a size smaller.  For women who value comfort and stability above all else, I cannot recommend these brands highly enough. AMAZON sends them very quickly.  They also are cute, depending on the model.  Wish me luck with shrinking these a bit!!
