Perhaps "very warm" is a better way to review these slippers, and perhaps knocking a star for that really, really warm slipper might not seem fair to everyone, but there are a bunch of us that live in places like Florida and we just can't find a decent slipper.  This one, given its extraordinarily high ranking and reviews, seemed like the perfect slipper.  It is, however, just too warm for Florida, even when freeze warnings are still being issued in places like Illinois.  I need a house slipper that is comfortable, not an oven.  Even in the colder climes, these slippers are going to have to sit unused for months during the year because they will be too warm.

The sizing chart is just silly as well.  I wear an 11EEE or a 12M in most shoes, but some shoes (depending upon the manufacturer) I have to wear a 12EE.  Now I get to ACORN's sizing chart.  Huh?  10.5-11.5M -- is this the right one for me or not?  Or do I go with the NEXT size up?  I opted for the 10.5-11.5M and that worked out, but it was just a flip of the coin guess -- ACORN give me no real guidance here, and the conflicting reviews were not of any help.

Otherwise, the slippers are nice -- I have caught myself on more than one occasion getting into the car thinking I had my shoes on.  I don't have any problem with the etched acorn on the heel -- I can't feel it and I suspect it is generally not really an issue.  Maybe my heels have just done more outdoor walking without shoes because I live in Florida.  More beaches and sand and less snow shoveling early in life = more callouses on my heels later.

Nice slippers.  Not great, in my mind.  I won't be replacing them for now, but I'm not sure how much wear I will be getting out of them as spring and summer approaches, either.
