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

Pros: Good looking. Comfortable. Well made. Good stitching. Durable exterior. Cons: 2nd pair I've owned and the same problem with the interior lining - worn thru in less than 6 months! I believe it could be a breath ability issue, since my feet begin to sweat within an hour of putting these slippers on. Heels tend to wear out first. Some sort of ventilation may be helpful to dissipate moisture. Sending back and requesting a gift card. Will continue to order other merchandise from LLBean.

I work from home and I bought these to basically function as "house shoes" for the winter. I specifically wanted a flannel lining as the shearling is too warm for me to wear several hours at a time. The leather upper looks fantastic and the sole is holding up well, however the lining has totally worn through in the heel after 4 months. These will not last another season as the padding is disintegrating where the lining does not protect it. I would not recommend these other than for occasional morning/evening wear.

I got these as a gift in October 2018. By January 2019 the flannel lining inside was worn out. Pieces coming out under the toes and the heel wearing down and deteriorating. When they were new they were super comfortable but now I barley wear them.

Very comfortable but the fabric on the inside wore out in multiple places in 4 months. Really disappointed because other than the slippers quickly wearing out they are great.

Stiff leather type material, runs narrow, rubs tip of toes. Likely return. LLBean bring back the soft leather slippers from previous that were made in Canada.

Great style, fit, warmth, and comfort. The sole is grippy and supple. No complaints on that and I love wearing these slippers. However... I have had the slippers for just 3 weeks and the lining on the heel of the left slipper is ripped (see pictures). The lining on the right slipper is on its way. I wear these indoors only, barefoot only, and am not doing anything active in them. I previously had these same slippers for 3 years with the shearling lining and they lasted much longer before the lining wore out. I'm pretty disappointed that the rest of the slipper is made very sturdy and the liner is definitely the weak point. Worse yet, these slippers don't come with a more sturdy leather liner option. My other complaint is the leather laces do not stay tied. The leather is too stiff and the knot won't stay seated This is a nitpicky complaint, though.

The shoes were well made and looked very nice. My problem was with the width. They were very narrow. They fit so tight they made my feet hurt and caused them to be extremely cold. I returned them and bought a less quality shoe. If LL Bean had offered them in a wide I would have gladly exchanged them. The return process was easy but a little expensive.

We were SO disappointed in these slipperss. I bought two pair, 13 D and 14D. Both pair were extremely narrow in the toe box. You would not be able to wear a sock and get your foot comfortably in this slipper. They also run 1/2 size too short. The craftmanship is beautiful, the leather and construction is excellent. If only they fit a normal foot......I returned both pair.

My husband got a pair of these 3 years ago and the lining wore out in about 3 months. I bought him another pair the following year, and the following year, and the following year, and the lining wore out in about 3 months on all 4 pairs. The lining wears out and goes right to the white stuff under the flannel lining. He likes the rest of slipper so I was going to buy him ANOTHER pair until I saw that the slipper is $49.95 and you get free shipping on purchases over $50.00! Seriously? I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Too narrow. The wide width was not available in any of the slipper styles

To small, no 1/2 size available.

I ordered these slippers less than a year ago. They break in quickly and are very comfortable but the fabric lining inside the slippers is big disappointment. The lining pills and has large spots that are worn through exposing the foam backing on the sides and bottom of the lining. I wear the slippers daily in my house and don't use them to walk the dog, etc.. I am surprised at the poor craftsmanship.

I have had three pairs of these slippers over the years. Compared to the old versions the new ones are so inferior you wouldn't know were from the same company

I had a pair of these loved them and wore 'em out. When I bought news ones, they wore out quickly, in months, so I exchanged them. The replacement also wore out quickly. Huge quality drop. What happened LL Bean?

I bought these for my husband for his early October birthday. Here we are in July and the outer sole is slick and the flannel lining in shreds. This isn't the first time he's used this style. They once lasted longer. We've both bought LLBean since our teens and are extremely disappointed. We'll keep buying the classic men's pocket tee shirts in every color and tropical weight men's pants but no more slippers. We've had it!

Great shoe but it does not come is "D" or wide. Had to return them.

Shoes looked very nice. They were a little narrow but wearable. After 3 months of wearing the insole is starting to fray and some spots are worn through. Not what I expected from llbean.

Not the L.L. Bean quality I've been accustomed to for decades! I purchased these back in the summer for winter wear in the evenings. The lining already is ripped and worn in both slippers and they have hardly been worn. They have been used very little, in fact, not every evening but I would say 4 out of 7 evenings, for approximately 3-4 hours at a time. Only worn in the house and I'm not very active. I am sorry but I cannot recommend these slippers. Thank you.

Ordered these slippers and was impressed with the quality and workmanship but they were way too tight. I ordered a size 11 the same size that I wear in the camp mocs from LL Bean. These slippers only come in full sizes, I was afraid to order the size 12. I returned the slippers.

I liked the quality of the stitching on the outside of this slipper, but the flannel lining is very thin and started wearing through in the heel area in 5 months. I returned for a credit. I'll try an unlined slipper next time.

These are very comfortable, nice fitting slippers. The only issue is that I started to see that the flannel lining was wearing out after 6 months of use. After nearly a year, both slippers have the inner lining worn out to the leather. Will be exchanging with the leather lined version.

They look good and are mostly comfortable. However, I have a small bump on the top inside of each foot. There is a seam with a hard leather edge under the tongue about where the bow is. It didn't take long before the leather edge started cutting into the bumps. Might work for you if the tops of your feet are pretty flat, otherwise, stay away from these.

Very comfortable and stylish, the slipper's flannel lining is too thin to withstand normal usage. May have to return.

They look nice and fit OK, but the leather is hard and stiff - not comfortable for indoor comfort-wear.

We have previously had great success with the flannel-lined slippers--they were soft, comfortable, and durable. They were so durable, in fact, that it had been several years since we last ordered them. In the meantime, apparently, the style/construction changed. The new slippers are of a much firmer leather. The width is more narrow, and the length was too long. My husband normally wears a 9 1/2 shoe, so the recommendation was to order a size up. The slipper arrived and was way too long, such that his foot was slipping out of the shoe. I re-ordered in a 9, and that seems to fit much better. I kept the size 10 slipper for myself instead of returning it, but that may have been a mistake. The slipper is so narrow that it causes my feet to cramp. I know that it is recommended that the slipper be worn and that it will stretch, I'm just not sure how long that will take or if my feet will take it. My husband does like his slippers, now that he has the right size.
