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

This is my 3rd pair of the flannel lined handsewn slippers and though sturdy and comfortable they don't make them like they used to. The first pair that were delivered had one sole sewed on crooked and needed to be returned. The flannel lining in the second pair wore through in the heal area within 2 months and I decided to just keep them as they are comfortable and didn't feel like going through the hassle of another return. The slippers fit well as I am an 8 1/2 EE and purchased size 9 - standard M in width. I only wear these slippers in the winter months and have just started season number three and they are only used inside or maybe a quick trip outside on to a dry deck to tend the grill or grab some firewood from the garage, so they last. The previous pairs never had the lining wear issue as these do and when people are visiting and see them they rib me that it's time to buy new slippers to which I explain that the lining wore through in a matter of weeks and that it seems to be typical of this LL Bean slipper lining.. thin and cheap, but comfortable. Will I buy another pair in the future? Because of comfort, probably yes, but my expectations won't be as high as when LLBean made sure that all of their products met high standards. Would I recommend to a friend .. yes, but with caveats.

It's too bad that these are only offered in full sizes and not in half sizes as well. I wear a 10.5 and these are only available in either 10 or 11. 11 is too big and 10.5 is tight.

Very difficult to keep tied. This causes them to slip and I prefer a tighter fit.

The padding inside the slipper significantly changes the size. In every other pair of shoe I wear a size 11, but even after using a shoe stretcher I cannot wear these slippers. I will given them to charity. They are beautiful shoes but beware the sizing.

I do not have wide feet, but these house shoes are way too narrow and just a bit short on length. They firmok without socks, but with socks just way too tight.

These are pretty nice slippers; the fit is right and the leather feels pretty good. But in 1 year, the flannel lining inside has shredded. I'm very disappointed. Not the LL Bean I remember from my childhood in New England. Back then, no one could imagine that LL Bean would ever make footwear that would have to be thrown away after 1 year! Very un-Maine-like.

A bit tight, but returned them befire breaking them in. I found the inner sole padding too thick and hot on my feet.

The slippers sent to me was the wrong color as defined by the sales person. I accepted the slippers as sent as opposed to going through the hassle of returning the item.

Appearance and workmanship excellent but not wide enough for me

These are Wii's. The heel is too loose. I had to go one size smaller and still won't stay on. They look nice though. Wouldn't buy them again.

Slipper is too tight in the toe box area. Didn't have this issue with my previous order a few years ago. Should have checked the current reviews before ordering. Returned them.

I am on my third pair. The first two were fleece lined ( not offered anymore) and held up great. The flannel lined wear out in less than a year because your foot rubs holes through the lining. Please bring back the fleece lined!!!

Very comfortable. but the thin flannel lining wears out in a couple of months. Needs better lining

This is my third pair of these slippers. Within 1 year, the flannel and padding inside has started to rip/fray/deteriorate. I am beyond disappointed in the product lifespan, and for $50 bucks, I would expect a higher quality slipper. The leather is great, they are SUPER comfortable, but the quality has gone down hill. I will be sending my old pair back since I only have 1 year to do so, since they got rid of their lifetime guarantee, and hopefully my new ones do not wear out so quickly. Since these are imported, I am hoping the company improves their quality control so these issues can be resolved.

I received the slippers and was very disappointed in the color. I own the same slipper in the brown color and was looking forward to the lighter color (acorn) that was represented in the online picture. The new slipper is only slightly lighter than my brown slipper.

These are great slippers, but if you have wide feet, do not purchase these. They are narrow and they will not stretch. I typically wear a wide shoe and these only come in medium. After wearing them for a few years, they still haven't stretched and I can no longer wear them as they hurt my feet.

The D width is too narrow for me in these my later years. The pair I have are wearing out, but I will not buy another pair unless I can get them in a wider size.

I had a very similar pair from LL Bean that were flannel lined and I liked them better than the new. pair I just. purchased to replace my old pair. Reason I like old vs the new pair, my feet sweat a lot more in the new pair either when wearing socks or no socks.

Ordered up one size but still snug at the width. Nicely made moc and hoping it breaks in over time. Got a year to sort it out. We shall see.

Wide does not actually mean wide. It's meant for the woke people. I actually had to wash these in a washing machine and then stretch them to the hilt forward and wide and let them dry to become acceptable.

still trying to decide if I am going to keep them. The sides are a little too high & strike the outside of ankle bone. Have tried them on twice & wondering if they will break in & not cause pain on ankle bone.

Bought these for my husband recently and loved the way they looked and felt. Shearling is a little too warm for him, so I hoped the flannel would be a good compromise. Unfortunately they were a little too narrow and he asked to return them.
