Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers Squam Lake

Good looking and solid construction. On my feet, the slipper slides off my feet too easily so I returned it.

No heel coverage. Kind of chilly. Had to replace with boot version which is nice and toasty.

I've had a pair of these slippers for several years and was looking to purchase a new pair. Unfortunately, the newer ones are narrower (I measured them) and because of a painful foot issue I knew they wouldn't work for me. I'm sad that they have changed. I loved them for years.

Slippers are wonderfully warm and fuzzy and it's nice to have a solid sole. However, they're too big. I wear a size 5.5, and I followed the site's advice to order up since I needed a half size. Unfortunately size 6 is the smallest size and the slippers move around on my feetparticularly unsafe on stairs.

size runs slightly large. The heel is a lot lower than what it looks like in the picture. because of this will be returning item.

Comfortable but concerned the quality has declined.

I wear a 5-51/2. I ordered a 5 but they are too big. The site says if you wear a 1/2 size order up. I suggest ordering down.

I had a pair of these in Royal Purple that I bought in 2018, size 8. They fit beautifully. I bought a new pair 11/9/2024 just to have an extra since they were so awesome. I bought the same size - 8 - but they just do not fit right. The quality is still excellent, and the stitching was impeccable but they are not sized correctly. The top part for my toes & foot are fine, the arch support area everything is fine until you get to the heel. They do not stay on properly. These new ones are also slightly longer than my previous 2018 pair - by a few centimeters - when you match them up sole-to-sole. The back slips off my heel every time I take a step. Yes, they are open back/slip ons but they are NOT supposed to flip flop off your heel every time you step. It would end up rubbing off my skin. My previous pair in size 8 NEVER did that. It stays in place with every step even if you have to run/walk fast. I don't know what happened with LL Bean but there always seems to be a new issue with size or quality, etc...every time I need replacement slippers after 3-4 years. I did not bother with a size 7 because I am sure my foot would be way too long for a 7. I wear 8/8.5 in regular shoes, I would never use a 7. The only time I buy a 7 is for boots or things that are only made in MEN's sizing. Is LL Bean trying to make everything one-gender sizing? I hope they're not one of those companies. I'll have to stop buying from them if that's the case. So if you want these, just keep in mind the fit issue. Maybe other women had better luck but for me it's a no. It's a shame, too, because they were good quality & beautiful looking-the charcoal blue & pale mauve were gorgeous in person.

I've been buying these slippers for years (decades??) and live in them. But the last pair were a disappointment. I wear an 81/2-9, but always order a size 8. The latest pair are so roomy on top that I can fit my hand in the space above my foot The sole is the same so sizing is not the problem. I should have returned them but waited too long. Now I'm hesitant to buy another pair.

Shearling appeared to be thin. I like the rubber soles and the color. Poor size fit though.

The slippers that i ordered were too big. I sent them back at my own expense to exchange for a smaller size. They have been backordered for about 4-5 weeks.

Although these slippers are very soft and warm I notice I have lost my balance in them twice in the two weeks I have been wearing them, both times when bending over to reach something. As my balance has not been a problem before I think it must have something to do with the soles not gripping the floor. They are pretty, warm, and very soft but beware!

The color and style are great. They run very large. At first I thought it was the wrong size, but it was as ordered, but are too big. Comfortable if I wear a thick pair of socks.

Who came up with the DUMB idea to only make slippers in full sizes? I west a 7.5 but cannot get my size. So my choice is to buy a 7 that is to short or an 8 that my foot comes out of with every step, forcing me to shuffle around the house. Other than that I love my slippers.

I bought as substitute for another bean slipper but this one is just as wide. However, with this one, I have accidentally fallen three times. I believe the heels should narrower. I am ambivalent about my recommendation.

I love LL Bean products and store. However, their label placement bothers my skin whether it is sewn in their slipper, the Squam Lake I just bought and have to return now or whether it is the many long sleeved, short sleeved T shirts I have, the label scratches my torso on the side.. cutting them off does nothing. I wish label could be placed in an area not in contact with skin. I wore the slippers for 15 minutes and began to feel pain in both feet where contact with the rather thick label is sewn.

These are different than other LLBean slippers I've purchased. I didn't realize that they weren't like the shearling I've worn for years. They have a stiffer, less soft footbed and the sole is far less flexible. Maybe nice for some but not for me. I won't purchase again.

Disappointed. It is not uncommon to see reviews claiming that quality has been reduced in a product previously purchased. I often wonder if that is a function of idealized memory, but in the case of these slippers, I have side-by-side comparison to know that it is true for these slippers. I spend a lot of time in another person's home. 2.5 years ago the owner gifted me with a pair of these slippers to keep for use there. It is such a pleasure to put them on, and feel their soft cushiony warmth. This year I decided to treat myself to a pair to use in my home, too. I've worn both the old pair and the new pair on the same day, on the same type of surfaces. They are not the same. The construction and appearance is the same--and very nice-- but the cushioning is definitely less in the new ones, even though the old ones have been worn heavily during 3 fall/winter seasons. I will keep these, but will not likely buy them in the future. For the price, it is very disappointing that LL Bean decided to short customers on cushioning in the footbed.

Purchased elsewhere. Had to return. It felt like I was walking on a roller. Very unsteady. Lacked stability when walking. Would have preferred a flatter sole for stability.

I purchased these hoping they would work out. They were to replace a comfy pair that are worn. But, since they are not available in a wide width, they did nor work out for me.

Received these as a Christmas gift and although they are comfortable initially, I am returning them due to the pain from the wire inside around the top front of the slipper - assume it is to maintain the shape. I have high arches and that wire constricts the top of my foot and becomes painful on wearing. They are lovely and warm but I will exchange for a pair that does not wrap around the top of my feet. I would only recommend these if you do not have high arches.

I love the warmth of these slippers, but they tend to be too wide and are difficult to walk in.
