I just got these yesterday and I love them. I run between sizes at an 8 1/2 and I sized down an 8 since they don't come in half sizes. They seem to fit fine with plenty of room. I'm used to slippers being really snug at first but these are not. I just hope they don't stretch out to the point where they feel to big. Keeping my fingers crossed that they stay just like this. I highly recommend these slippers.

I have owned these slippers since Christmas 2016 and I love them. I put them on as soon asI get home. They are soft and cozy but not even too warm on a hot day. I like that I can pop outside and not have to change, since it has the rubber sole. I do have to replace the insole because it started to thin from wear, but the outsides still look new. I think these will last me for years to come.

I own three pairs of wicked good slippers. Can't say they really wear out, but the shearling does run thin eventually. And yet, the darn leather ties NEVER stayed completely tied! So annoying. Seeing this slippers gave me hope. I think they are expensive but then, so were the others. One word of caution: these slippers don't run small as the 'imported' tied ones. I ordered a size up when I first bought them and had to exchange for my regular size. They are wonderful!

Comfortable. Great support. Warm. Well-made. Just wish you made these in a WIDE size, so I wouldn't have to order a size up. The regular slippers are too tight for the size I normally wear. For the price we pay we should have that option.

Honestly, they sent the wrong slippers. But I’ve had 3 pairs of these in the last 20 years- the first pair for 10 years. So still rating it well.

Slippers had to return as too small & half or larger size not available. Disappointing as always wanted to try these. Will try again next winter season.

I bought these recently and haven't worn them yet. They feel warm and comfy though a little snug in the length. I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9 but the 9 was too big. The look is more inside shoe than slipper which I wanted.

I should have bought a size larger but thought they would stretch out a tad. They've not stretched any, which is good if they are sized right. They would also be more comfortable if there was thicker padding iin the soles. They are warm and slip-free on bare floors.

I originally got these in my regular shoe size (9).
They were way too wide on me and I reluctantly returned.
After trying other brands I realized I needed to go down a size in slippers such as these as I have a narrow foot.
I tried an 8. They were snug at first but after wearing a short time the fur inside flattened a little and the soft leather molds to your feet. They are perfect now and I am so glad I tried them again and kept them.. I only gave 4 stars because I would suggest ordering down instead of up depending on foot shape.

On the purchase page it says "half sizes order up," so I ordered a 10, but in the package is a card saying "Shearling-lined footwear should provide a snug fit in order to offer both comfort and warmth. Initially, your toes and forefoot should feel slightly confined. The shearling lining will pack down around the shape of your toes and foot to provide a custom fit within a short period of time." This information should be included on the product page. I didn't find the card until after I had been wearing them for a few days around and outside the house, so it is too late to exchange them for 9s. Also, if these are so popular, why can't they make them in half sizes? The 10s fit okay on my right foot but are way too loose on the left and I am getting a blister on my left heel. Otherwise, they are warm, comfortable, and very sturdy. It's nice to be able to wear slippers without socks.

I typically purchase the tied moccasins and tried these this year. They are soft and warm and love the texture. I'm hoping they don't stretch or squish too much, making the shoes too large for my feet. That happened with the tied ones, so fingers crossed that doesn't happen with these!

These are attractive (I have the blue color, size 8 Womens) soft, and the treads are nice and grippy. That said, they do run wide, and as others have noted, attract dirt and stains easily. I have owned multiple pairs of the Ugg Dakota over the past decade, and my side-by-side comparison is that the Ugg size 8 Dakota runs smaller overall than the LL Bean Wicked Good Venetian. I especially noted a difference in the width through the heel and mid-foot. In fact, the heel is so wide in the LL Bean slipper that my heel slips out unless I wear socks (something I would prefer not to do with shearling slippers). I will only be wearing them indoors, so the sizing isn't a huge deal for me, though it would be if I were planning to wear them out on errands as other reviewers have said they do. The length of the LL Bean slippers is slightly longer, but not by much. The grippy soles on the LL Bean slipper are superior to the Ugg Dakota (my Ugg soles usually turn to hard, slippery plastic over time). I sprayed my Bean slippers with Scotch Guard because of all of the reviews I read about staining issues, hoping that will do the trick. However, I did grab my slippers with recently-lotioned hands the other day and it did create a slightly darker thumb print, so maybe the Scotch Guard isn't a perfect solution? Overall, though, they are very nice slippers at this price point and the blue color is really lovely!

Good all around slipper and sized correctly. I have had at least 6 pair. This year the shearling lining is itchy.

However when I tried them on I discovered that I immediately lost balance. At first I thought it was the sole and I returned them. My size 8 of a similar LLBean shoe is perfect.The fit suggestion was an 81/2. I've ordered an 8 to see if I can wear them. Quality is excellent.

I like these slippers, but not as much as the ballet type ones you used to sell (Item ID 501859). These look more like a man's slipper, whereas the ballet type were more feminine. They are cozy, warm and comfortable. I love the color too!

These are as comfy and warm as I had hoped, but I wish the heels were stiffer so they didn't squish down when I put them on.

I bought these to replace a pair I bought years ago. When I find something I like, I stick with it.

Quite soft so you have to be careful about putting them on not to deform the back.

These slippers are comfortable and I don't have to worry about the laces not staying laced up, like I did with my previous slippers.

I really love these "wicked good slippers." I have a navy pair and a brown pair, size 6. However, I'd like a black pair now to add to my "collection". Why don't you make a black pair??? That's what I want. I don't need or want a pink pair.

Too long so I returned them. It is suggested if you wear half sizes to go up a half size, which I did and they were too big, slipping off my heel. I thought it odd the little card enclosed said they should fit snug at first due to the fleece conforming to the feet over time and loosening up. I did not appreciate being charged the return fee. They are a nice looking slipper and the fleece feels warm and cozy but the outer shoe felt too soft. I worried they would not hold up well.

The slippers are comfortable and appear to be well made. There is no arch support.
