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

I wish I had gone deeper into the reviews before purchase as this is a heavily documented issue. After two months of wear, lining has worn away in several places - mostly at the heel, but also at the ball of the foot in both slippers. They are great otherwise - my partner loves them even with the lining issues - but this should not be happening at this price point and I find it very disappointing that this has apparently been happening FOR YEARS without L.L.Bean making any improvements to their product.

Mostly I really likes these. Real leather. Nice gum sole. I prefer the cloth interior to the furry ones because I don't live in a real cold climate. BUT... I could not get them to fit perfectly. For whatever reason the heal is loose and slips when I walk. I tightened up the lacing as much as I could and still slips some. Have worn moccasin style loafers most of my life and have never had a fitment issue like this.

Less comfortable than expected. Needs more padding in sole.

No half sizes. Now I have to return them the next size up are to sloppy.

I've owned these shoes for the last year or so, with maybe 2-3 months of light wear and 1-2 months of heavy wear (rarely used them outside of winter). The exterior has held up great and the leather has gotten nicer over time as they've been worn in. But the flannel lining on the inside has already developed a hole. They're also seemed to run slightly small. They fit great barefoot but with socks they feel pretty tight. I'm between a 10-10.5 so that may also be why.

The slippers are very well made and look great, however, they are a little tight to wear with socks. I believe that they will loosen up in time, so I'm satisfied and my rating will probably increase as time goes by.

Material was excellent, just way too small. Did not fit my feet at all.

My husband loves his slippers. It's the 3rd pair he's had over 18 years.

Ordered 11M mocs (VN#1002664) hoping to replace my 6+ year-old mocs (VN#05488) since the flannel is wearing thin. I returned them since they are slightly larger than my well-worn pair, and suspect they will stretch even more in time. May order 10-1/2M, but not until the old ones fall apart.

The catalog says to choose up if the recipient wears a half size. My husband wears an 11 1/2, so I chose a 12 and he says it is too long and his heel keeps slipping out of it.

I previously owned a pair of similar slippers from LL Bean and they were very good and very comfortable. The new ones I bought to replace them are not as comfortable and are much more stiff and are a tighter fit even though they were the same product and size. Not nearly as happy or satisfied as with previous slippers than are pretty well worn.

after wearing my slippers in the house for a couple of years the bottom are now smooth and this makes the slippers like walking on Ice. I have fallen twice and would highly recommend that LL Bean return the quality that they have long been known for.

Unwearable because medium width is unusually narrow. I will exchange them and, for the first time in my life, wear an extra wide.

Very nicely made slippers, the 3 star rating is due to the very narrow D width. It should be labeled as medium not D.

Love the look and quality of this slipper but it only comes in medium width and not wide enough for my husband.

The style and workmanship are great, the fit however was way too tight, my husband couldn't wear them, and he has narrow feet.

I'm sorry to say that I ordered the wrong size. I am returning them and I have ordered another pair of the correct size.

a bit tight and a bit to small not quite wide enough otherwise a nice shoe well made looks good

Not really a fan of the straight line form used to construct these mocs. My old LL Bean mocs have a more pronounced curvature which fit my feet much better. They almost felt like they were on the wrong foot when new. Slowly breaking in after 6 weeks or so, and the straight pattern is taking on some slight curvature. Good construction and finish, but not quite up to the old LL Bean standard.

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.
