I had these on my wish list for over a year, and luckily, my brother-in-law bought these for me for Christmas.  I've had a few pairs of Acorn slippers, and I love them, but they never last that long.  These are in a whole different league!  These slippers are prettier, much more comfortable to wear, much less expensive, and I know they are going to last me a good long time. (If they don't, I'll be editing this review, but I'm sure I won't be, and if I do, probably only to sign their praises.) I love them so much, I put a different color of the same slipper on my wish list, hoping for another pair next Christmas, even though these will probably still be in great shape.  But when you find something like this that you love so much, you want to make sure you always have spares.
