Update:  I did call Acorn and they told me they have not changed their product at all and to contact Amazon about this seller Fashion footware.  I did order another pair from acorn directly.  Even the soles are different.  Don't buy from Fasion Footware.<br /><br />I have to say after wearing this particular pair from this seller, for a while, i noticed that the are less padded than prior pairs of Acorn spa slippers.  I wonder if Acorn has changed the way they are made.  This pair is very stiff, seems smaller and has  significantly less padding so  I'm ordered from another supplier and their product was much better.  Much different.  This ones going back.
