Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Hand Sewn Slippers Flannel-Lined

Had to order these flannel-lined because they don't make the fleece-lined slippers I had bought several times before. Great fit, very comfortable. But like the fleece-lined, the leather strings do not stay tied, so I end up cutting them to about 3 inches. Hey LL Bean, so something about those leather stings.

Good slipper, fit good but flannel interior wears quickly. Have purchased 4 pair over the last 7 years. Need to upgrade inner material. Would order again.

I'd had a pair of these before, but was discouraged from buying them again because the laces were constantly coming untied, but then I saw the video on how to tie a secure knot. Much better! These do run a little tight if you have broad feet, although they do give as they're broken in, and you'll also want to order the larger size if you would normally wear a half-size.

I really like the slipper itself. The only issue I have with this and others like it is that the "laces" are so thick that when you try to do a double overhand knot to tighten them you can never tighten them enough so they won't come untied. I was tired of retying them almost everytme I wore them and eventually just cut them off. Just make them without the laces ,they really don't serve a purpose anyway.

My second pair. Got them on sale for $10 off ($39 total). Ordered from store to my home. They are narrow, I usually wear an 8 to an 8 1/2, had to get a nine. Same thing with my 1st pair too. There is about a size difference in the toe length but they stay in place because the narrowness keeps them in place on your foot, even after they break in. Soles last forever and are water proof, stitching lasts too, so does the faux leather. The only reason I got a new pair is after 2-3 years the inside flannel lining has worn thru at the heals on my old ones. I still use those outside. Wish they were made in USA (Mayanmar)

These are well made and very comfortable. A little stiff but with wear the leather will soften. Love the darker color.

Much more short and narrow than expected

I had the fleece ones before these. Love the slippers all but the ties. It is hard to keep them tied. I had to tighten them up because my feet are narrow.

I love these slippers, but I swear I'm going to trip down the stairs and bust my head. The dang laces WILL NOT stay tied! Needless to say my next pair won't have laces. Other than that...great slipper.

My husband has narrow feet. This slipper only comes in one width which is too wide for him, but he can cinch them up with the leather lace enough to keep them on. He says they are very comfortable. Also the flannel lining wears away long before the uppers and soles. He wishes the lining was more durable.

They do stretch after wearing them for some length of time however during that break in period it is an uncomfortable experience.

Although I continue to purchase these slippers from L L Bean, I'm disappointed that the flannel lining wears out, at the heels, after only 4 to 6 months of daily wear.

I am not sure why, but I had to get a larger size (10) in order to feel comfortable in these slippers.

I love them! They are so comfortable and attractive that I often forget their slipper status and wear them out and about. The materials are top drawer and the style is timeless. My only issue with them is the wear on the sole on the underside of the toe. My wife pointed out the wear and the stitching break showing on the toes--perhaps a feature of how I walk--but I would buy them again!

Received my slippers quickly but was disappointed when I put them on. They are a great product but were too narrow! The length was a true 11. I wear a 10-10 1/2 shoe and ordered up to next size. I guess I will have to continue with my beloved WickedGoods through the summer and maybe order a new pair in the fall.

I love this slipper! It's my second pair. I would have given them a 5 star rating, but went lower because of my first pair, not this pair. The flannel liner will wear out way sooner than the exterior. My original pair still looks great on the outside and I still wear them, but the interior flannel is just worn and torn. I purchased the color Acorn color. NOTE: This color is darker than the photo online. LLBean sent me another pair, they were lighter in color, so I kept them. Instead of sending the orginal pair back, I kept them...paid for them of course and gave them to my son. I will continue to buy these slippers as long as they make them.

I have had so many pairs of these slippers over the years it is hard for me to know how many. I would say at least 10 and probably more. I am finally going to air my one complaint. The flannel lining simply wears out way too soon. It only takes a month or two to show significant wear and then quickly wear all the way through. Despite this, these slippers are perfect for my use and I will continue to buy them. If the wear problem with the flannel lining could be solved, they would be 5 stars, no question.

This is my third pair in about 10 years. They are worn daily. But the laces will NOT stay tied. Same issue on every pair I've owned. They even come untied while watching tv. I have tried all different ways of tying them, but almost every day they need to be re-tied, often need retying multiple times a day. Sigh!

I'm on my third pair in 39 years and they receive daily use. For me they are comfortable. A pair every 13 years is something I can live with. A decent value.

the slippers are very good. the only thing that needs improvement is the rubber sole on the bottom. after a while, it becomes separated from the underneath of the slippers, causing like a bubble to appear on the bottom of slippers. you can then feel it as you walk every time you step. its like stepping on a bubble.

This is my second pair for my true Size 9 foot. The first (Size 9) was stiff and quite narrow--unwearable except barefoot. Over a couple years, they stretched to conform, as slipper/mocs do, but remained too narrow for socks. With that knowledge, this time I ordered a size larger. Had to tighten the laces to snug up the slightly wide heel of the new Size 10, but it fits my Size 9 foot with thin socks.. These don't come in half sizes, but I think most buyers would be confident with a full size larger. Otherwise, these are quality slippers for indoors and out. Sturdy, comfy and warm.

I bought these as a gift for my husband. He wears a size 9 1/2 but I purchased the size 10 on the recommendation to do so. I am hoping they do not stretch out and become too loose. He really likes them. Why do most men's slippers come in S M L ans XL?

I bought these for my husband at Christmas and we both find that this product is well made, however seems a bit snug. He is wearing them regularly in hopes that with time they will relax and be just right. Other than this, they are great looking and wearing well.

I love these slippers...this is the third pair I've bought over the years. The only complaint is the rawhide bows on the top: they won't stay tied. I put some cable ties around the knot to keep it from un-tying and flopping all over the place creating a tripping hazard I suppose. They are purely decorative anyway and should be locked in place prior to shipment. But then what do I know?

Originally ordered a 10, which is my true fit with thin/no socks. Returned for size 11. Cost me $6.50 shipping for the return. Comfortable and appears well made.
