Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wool Slipper Clog

I am normally a size 9, medium. The last few pairs I've tried ordering from LLB were huge, so this time I ordered a size 8 and a size 7. They were completely too big in every possible way. Just to give you some idea, I could fit my whole HAND (palm up) inside the top of the shoe, with the shoe on my foot. Even with socks, even with extra insoles. About 7 years ago I got some clogs from LLB that were a similar style, with fleece lining and wool outside. Back then, the cost was about $49 or $59 each. I got two pairs. I love them, so comfortable! They do not look beat up at all and I still get compliments on them. (Yes, they are SEVEN years old, worn very, very frequently, with or without socks.) There isn't a rubber sole on them, like the new model has. It is some kind of ecological composite saw dust stuff, which was in the ad, was promoted as pro-environment material. The soles show absolutely no wear. The wool pills a little, but I given them a quick once-over with my pill removal tool, and viola, good as new! I will wear the old clogs forever. Obviously LLB quality has deteriorated during the past 7 years. These ancient clogs will definitely outlast me! Sent the "new improved version" BACK!
