Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Moccasins

My husband shattered his hip several weeks ago. Quadruple break, 76 year old man with Parkinson's and apparently some osteoporosis. After a week in the hospital he was transferred to a nursing/rehab facility for therapy. He had the beginnings of pressure sores on the heels of both feet when he left the hospital (in spite of being in ICU) and during the next week and a half the heel on the fractured leg progressed to a stage two sore. The wound nurse was trying to keep it covered, but my husband, who slept for the first two weeks, would thrash and sheer his heels against the mattress, aggravating the spots and peeling off the bandages. At one point the wound nurse told me she thought the left foot was beginning to progress as well. That was when it occurred to me that John had a brand new pair of LL Bean sheepskin slippers at home. I'd given them to him as a Christmas present several years ago but he just never wears slippers. Anyway--I got them and put them on his feet--had him wear them ALL the time--even in bed--over the weekend. By Monday the left heel looked almost healed--redness much reduced. The wound nurse was so impressed she took the dressing off of the bad heel and suggested we just let him wear the slipper and let the wound, which looked like a bad scrape on his heel, dry out. By the next day it looked much improved. It was dry, forming a scab, and not showing the redness and abrasion that had been formerly present. We have continued this practice and his heels are just about healed. I am giving the slippers 4 stars because they seem to have changed the style a bit. The ones my husband has have a fold up external piece on the heel that shows some exposed shearling. I feel that this older design, with its double padding, was very beneficial in relieving the pressure on his heels. I was going to order a second pair, but since the design has changed I may wait to see if we actually need them. The rubber soles have enabled him to wear them to walk in the wheelchair, a beginning exercise for all hip fracture patients to help them regain the strength in their legs.

These moccasins are comfortable and durable. The fur on the inside holds up well, and the rubber bottom is great for wearing outside/over rough surfaces. The weak spot with this product are the laces- they keep coming undone, are a bit short, and do not actually tighten the moccasin around your foot. Still, props to LLBean for making the how-to video for tying a seaman's knot. Despite the laces, I still recommend.

Beans nailed this item, it is so comfortable and easy to wear. I even wear these when flying back to Maine since they keep my feet warm and comfortable when I get off the plane in Portland! I hate giving these 4 stars (I would give it a 4.5 if they allowed). But... the shoelaces!! I have tied these 100s of times and they do not stay tied. Ever. In fact, the shoelaces are just for looks; they provide no tightening at all on my slippers. Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. It is NOT worth giving these a 1-3 star just cause of the shoelaces. This is a premium product. Don't listen to the negative reviewers. **The laces are so short that even if they unravel you can still walk in them; they just don't look as nice.**

I've had these long enough now I figure I can attest to their longevity. I got a pair as a gift two years ago and have worn them a lot around the house in the colder months and even around camp in the warmer months. They run a little on the big side. I'm a size 14 in just about everything else but I think I could have gotten away with a 13 in these for wearing without socks. But since I almost always pair these with some cushy boot socks size 14 worked out for me. They have held up very well despite wearing them indoors and out, and even occasional quick trips out in public (yep, I'm THAT guy). They look fine with jeans and since I got the brown ones nobody really notices them. If I have one complaint, its that the tongue on one of them curls up and the other one doesn't. It doesn't affect comfort, it just looks a little funny. But overall, they are wicked comfortable, well made, and I would definitely reccomend them to a friend.

I bought a pair of the men's wide Wicked Good Moccasins. Very comfortable. Very warm. I hated to get out of them. Unfortunately, the fur in the left shoe wore through in three spots under the heel. I notice it when socks started to get brown stains on them from the glue under the fur. Then I felt bunching under the toes for that same shoe. The other shoe does not have these problems. I think that I may have a bad pelt in the left shoe. I love the fit and feel but don't like the quality of the bad shoe. Trying to decide whether to order them again.

The fur in the inside does not comform to my feet very well on left slipper. Otherwise I love these slippers. The fur seem to come up between the big toe and the second toe. If I can get the fur inside to lay down right , these slippers are wellworth the money.!!!

Love these slippers keep you feet real warm. The only problem I have is the soles are hard and that makes them very slippery on tile and hardwood floors.

I purchased these while shopping for a pair of Bean Boots. Perfect for slumming around the house on a cold winters day. I wish they had a half size, but it's not a deal breaker. Buy these without regret.

Tip: If you're a half-size, order down. The look of this winter moc is fantastic. It's getting more difficult to find simple and traditional vintage designs like this. It's timeless and certainly preppy. I rate the look 4 stars. I rate the quality a strong 3 stars; it's decent and well made, nothing too special. Being made overseas the quality may vary, I may have gotten lucky. Solid mid-range quality overall and thus more than fairly priced. L.L. Bean should consider releasing American-made versions of their classic items; "Heritage editions", if you like. I'd happily pay the (understandably) higher price. They did a good job on these moccasins, I like them and I think you will too.

I have been buying these for years and like them a lot over others I have purchased. Yes the shearling does seem to wear quite fast.... at least at times I think so. But I wear them hard. The last couple of pairs have torn around the sole. I assume from thin leather. The last pair I sent back and they promptly replaced them and refunded the shipping. I see now they have added an extra strip of leather where the tearing was taking place. So far no problem with the new pair but have not worn them hard yet. But I am ordering another pair as back up just in case.

Hard sole and soft interior are just right. Slightly narrow. Not fond of ties will have to learn the seamans knot.

My husband loves these slippers. However, this pair only lasted a year. The previous pair lasted for years! They are still comfortable and the only slippers my husband will wear.

These slippers are great! I'm a true 11.5 and ordering a 12 gives a bit of room in the front (about 3/4th of an inch) However if you wear a sock it makes up for it a bit. My only dislike is where they place the tag in the sole. It is stitched where the side meets the sole and can be rather annoying at first with or without socks. Other than that these are great. The sole is sturdy enough for what I need them for and the fur inside makes them extremely comfortable.

slipper appears very well made. Only complaint is in the description it states "half size order up". When ordering the next size up, it was entirely too big. My suggestion is to order the size down as they appear to run big in sizing.

Well made, warm and cozy. These slippers are excellent for walking around indoors on hard surface floors, such as wood or vinyl. The rubberized flexible sole allows you to keep them on while you venture out on the porch for the morning paper, keeping your feet warm and dry if it is damp or snowy, and with a quick wipe on the doormat, head right back to the kitchen for your coffee. I ordered the brown color, and really like it. The fleece lining is dyed the same color as the leather outer, and they look great. They are a bit pricey (the reason I went 4 stars instead of 5), but if they hold up a few years, they are well worth it.

My boyfriend loves these slippers. They are very warm and the wide size is perfect for him. The only negative is that the first time he tried to tie the laces, the laces wouldn't budge, so he pulled harder (as it turns out, too hard) and made an inch long tear on the top of the slipper. We got it fixed for $10 at a local shoe repair. He still likes them, they just don't look as good as they used to.

I purchased a pair of the Wicked Good slippers in chocolate brown for my husband for his birthday, he normally wears a size 12 however upon receiving these he tried them on & they were too big! He was disappointed to say the least, so instead of returning them I purchased another pair (so he would get them quicker :) and I should add here these slippers look to be the best slippers I have ever bought for him (and I have purchased many!) of course he hasn't had the chance to try them out yet (other than a few steps throughout the house & he said they were very comfortable!) so I'll have to update this later :) and I may even have to purchase a pair for myself?

Over the years there was a nice sized shearling cuff on the top.Where'd it go? We still buy these but feel there as no reason to go on the cheap!

I ordered these for my husband, to replace his old LLBean "Wicked Good" slippers, since they were redesigned. The old ones were real slippers; these new ones are really outdoor moccasins, with bulkier soles/treads. They are not as comfortable , or as attractive. I think they should have kept the old ones, as well as introduced the redesigned, in order to provide variety for different customer desires.

I received the order in a very timely manner and the quoality is great. The one thing that I was not happy about has nothing to do with the Moccasins but has to do with the fact that the Moccasins were delivered one day at $69.00 and then next day I receive a sale catalog with the same slippers now $20.00 cheaper.

I truly was expecting a slipper that was in every way phenominal for the price, and it pretty much was. I have no problem paying for quality, but tend to be fussy at the slightest things when I find an issue. Been wearing them everyday inside/some outside for about a Month now. Medium/Heavy use. Excellent build quality....no loose stitchings/etc. The fur inside is nice and fluffy, but was expecting a little more padding on the heel/sole to be real honest, as this flattens down quickly. Its not a cheap slipper by any means tho, and I am happy with them. Okay, well I found that when your feet are maybe a little cold and you put your foot in them.....the slipper will warm them up a bit. However....if your feet are freezing cold like mine get, the slipper feels like it almost keeps them cold inside, almost trapping the cold air in....so your feet stay cold. Seriously, Im not crazy! I find myself taking them off and warming my feet before I put them on again quite frequently. Our floor is cold tho, so it might just be the rubber soles that get cold and in turn make the inside of the slip cold too, which certainly wouldnt help I guess. But figured Id mention this to people that get extremely cold feet like I do. This is the only thing I personally have a real issue with. Other than that they are a great buy and better than the other name brands out there that Ive tried. If they put a comfort sole in these things, then I am afraid I wouldnt take them off!

Got these as a gift a while ago. Good quality with a few limitations. They frequently have to be retied and the fur compacts over time. The dye bleeds espeically if wet and take a long time to dry. I wear a 10.5 wide, going up a size, as often recommended by LLBean, makes for a clown shoe and a very poor fit. For me, I went to a 10 and they fit ok with a tad bit of stretching over time. These slippers can make your feet feel hot, so late fall and winter time is best for wear.

I love these shoes. I wear them every day from September to March and they have certainly gotten their share of use. The outside is pretty durable, but the laces stretched and need to be retired many times in order to maintain a snug fit. The insole of the shoes is also starting to fall apart after over a year, but they have lasted a long time!

They are comfortable, and durable enough to wear out to get the paper in the morning. They do untie quite frequently, thus only 4stars.

Good Slippers...good fit...very comfy
