What does one DO when the Acorn slippers one found five years ago on sale finally give up the ghost?  One hunts around on the Internet for replacements, that's what!  Of course, the style one loves has been discontinued...that's like death and taxes: a given.  So one hustles on over to Amazon.com, that source of all human balm, and bingo!  They have a nifty little booty called the "Digby", quite close indeed to the defunct style currently hiding in the corner of the closet.  Warm, snuggly and with a surprising amount of support for the tired toes, this felted wool slipper just hugs those tootsies in need of comfort and warmth.  Winter's coming, dear!  Why are you waiting?  Order these (in two colors, like I did!) and you'll be ready for any part of winter, except maybe that vastly over-rated vacation in Florida...(Hint...they run a bit small...order up a tad.

BUT, DON'T EXPECT THEM TO LAST!!! Here it is, the first week of January, and I've worn one pair of these slippers for about 3 months.  They are FALLING APART!!!  The slipper has stretched out of shape and the top is splitting away from the sole.  Do yourself a favor and buy some other brand.  The typical Acorn quality just isn't here, folks!
