Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers Venetian

I have bought LL Bean products for many, many years now and I have to say that this iconic, comfy slipper is not the same quality product. There is much less support in the heel, really the whole bottom of the foot, and wearing them since just after New Years, the slipper bottom feels flat and thin. Yes, the upper is real suede, the inside is wool and the outside is rubber, but I ask...what happened to the inner sole of this slipper? It feels like nothing is there! This comfy slipper is very uncomfortable...I put my old worn out Wicked Good slippers back on. There is actually a little more padding left for the bottom of my foot than my new slippers offer. Not happy at all, considering the price of this product. I am going to return them and find something else at another store. Really disappointed.

Pros: Run narrow. (I have narrow feet.) Cozy. Cons: Not cushioned. Bought these because my old go-to of the Wicked Good mocs have undergone a decline in workmanship/comfort. I was unsure about the Venetians in the store, where I immediately noticed a lack of footbed cushion, but got them anyway because they run narrow. At home, they were no better on my hardwood and tile floors. They feel best only when sitting and doing nothing. I'll likely be returning these soon and continuing a frustrating search for a quality, supportive, cushioned slipper that doesn't fall off my heels.

I really wanted these but was so disappointed in the fit. Now I have to return...

I've gotten these slippers every year for years and really love them. This year one slipper is flipped up and the other down. There is no way to make it stay down and it's driving me crazy. These are brand new.

So disappointing. To amend a previous review, I had to buy another pair (a kitchen spill ruined the pair I bought a month ago) and its true what the other reviewers have said about terrible quality problems with these slippers. I've tried three different pairs now and they all do not fit. Heel slips out, some pairs made wider or bigger than others. No consistency.

Following up from my previous review, I am so disappointed. I unexpectedly had to throw out my first pair of slippers because I spilled something on them. I ordered two more pairs and I can't believe it they don't fit?! The heel slips out. How could the first pair be perfect and then I try two other pairs and the padding is flat and matted down. They seem to be wider and the inside padding is matted down. I can't believe the quality issues. They also had a chemical spray smell when they arrived like they had been returned a few times. I am beyond disappointed with L.L. Bean. Please make a better fitting slipper with consistent quality sizing.

I bought these to replace my previous pair of Bean slippers that lasted 5+ years. This hole began less than a year after purchasing. I am disappointed, and wondering if I need to look elsewhere for quality slippers. That last longer.

I ordered my size and it was way too big. Could be worn with thick socks I guess. I also didn't like the look of them. I thought they were ugly. Wasn't really fond of the look when I ordered but figured I'd give them a try. Nope!

No help from store when I called about the ' fit'. Very disappointed.

I really wanted to like these slippers but the quality was not what I expect from L L Bean. The fit was so strange. I am returning them.

This is my 4th pair of Wicked Good slippers, and I love them. However, they are NOT made like they used to be!! The sole is completely tearing away after a year. I'm so disappointed because LL Bean has already been my go to.

These slippers are comfortable but have found that the sheep's lining is actually quite thin so there isn't much padding between your foot and the sole. If there was more padding I would love these slippers.

I was disapointed after purchasing slippers for years, these slippers did not uphold the comfort I have previously enjoyed.

Not what I expected at all. I honestly couldn't tell which foot which shoe went on. It seemed poorly made and they were actually quite unattractive looking.

These slippers were very uncomfortable. There is no arch support. They're very flat and difficult to walk in. I returned them.

Ordered my usual size, but they were too big. Customer service refused to waive the return shipping.. even though I placed a new order for a size down.. and even though the first was not true to size.

Just purchased two pairs. One size 6 (for me), one size 7 (for my Mom). Bought because my husband has a 2 year old pair he loves. For this new order, the size 7 pair is a normal width in the toe box and fits Mom perfectly. The size 6 pair is painfully narrow and the left shoe is almost pointy at the toe - an obviously even more narrow width than the right shoe. I used the shoe size recommendation based on my size in Keen shoes. I have a lot of Keen shoes, wear a 6, and have no issues with width. While this LL Bean slipper size 6 seems to fit fine in length, the width is not appropriate for the average foot. I understand that these types of shoes should be a bit snug at first and will stretch, but the slippers (especially the left) are so narrow as to be too painful to wear. This would seem to be primarily a construction inconsistency issue (size 6 so much more narrow than a 7 and left shoe different than the right) so this makes me especially concerned that I now have to pay for a return. I would like to reorder them, but am concerned I might run into the same issue and be out another $6.50. It's not like I just decided I didn't like the color or that I ordered without following the sizing recommendations. Rating fair due to inconsistency in construction.

I bought these to replace my pair of moccasins that I purchased a few years ago. I wanted a pair without a tie so I didn't have to worry about it. Other reviews mentioned that they are narrow in the toe box, and I found this to be the case. My feet are slightly wide, but not wide enough to need a wide pair. I also found them to be pretty uncomfortable. There is not a lot of padding. I ended up returning and purchasing another moccasin.

I had blisters after just a couple of days around the house. The toe box is narrow and low, which I couldn't see from the picture. Waste of almost $100.

Although I love the raspberry color, returning them because they're too big and too wide. 8M is the size and it's my normal size.

It's a nice slipper but too narrow to be comfortable for me. I have a normal width foot, and I found it very uncomfortable.

The two slippers are not the same shape and size. The left one is smaller than the right. It is not significant but it is noticeable. I expect better from LLBean

I bought these slippers in June 2022 when I visited the flagship store in Freeport. I thought I was buying high quality slippers that would last many years. I wore them last fall/winter around the house. They are warm and comfortable. I just started wearing them again (Oct 2023) and have a hole starting in the toe area on one of them. The threading is also starting to unravel. For the price, I thought I would be getting something that would last years. If I wanted something that fell apart after one season, I could have gotten something cheap for $20 elsewhere. Very disappointed.

My slippers just came today, and I was very excited. Until I opened the box--they're pointed! None of the catalog images present this. I cannot wear pointed footwear, so these are going back. Too bad, the shearling seems nice.

These slippers have much less shearling than previous slippers I have ordered from LL Bean. As a result, the same size slipper is too large! Usually these slippers feel a bit snug until the shearling packs down a bit but these same size slippers have less fluff inside and slip off my feet. Same with husband's slippers. We have returned both. Very disappointed.
