Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Mountain Slippers

OK except for the chafing of my heels from the Bean label.

I'm always a little hesitant to review something that I only owned for a couple of weeks. My new LL Bean slippers seem to be well made. They were very comfortable right out of the box but I hope they'll break in soon. My last pair of LL Bean moc slippers were super comfortable and lasted for years. This purchase I wanted slippers without rawhide laces that don't stay tied. If the new ones become more comfortable and last a few years I'll be very happy with them.

I got these for my husband for Christmas and he wishes they came in wide width because they're way too narrow. Otherwise the quality is great but sadly need to return since they don't fit right.

I am a slipper connoisseur and I desperately wanted to love these. I tried every slipper Bean makes and they all have one key issue: they are too wide! And they do not come in narrow sizes. I love their boots and can find a fit. But slippers, which I wear with and without socks, are tricky. I usually get one size smaller and get them lined. These were right on size for length - and maybe a wee bit tight (though wear usually stretches that out), but the width just made them too loose for me. If you wear them occasionally coming home and banging about, they'd likely be fine. But for me, who wears this kind of shoe to do all kinds of things around the house (they are 'house' shoes) and out into the great wide world, these just are too loose. LL Bean, make these in a narrower fit and I'll be back.

This story is a bit long, bear with me. I typically wear a 13W. About 2 years ago, I bought a pair of these on a great sale. Figuring the suede leather would stretch a bit, I ordered 12s. At first, they fit well and I was pretty happy but, within a few months, they had stretched to the point it was a struggle to keep them on my feet. Recently, I noticed that the lining was beginning to tear. I contacted LL Bean and was going to return them but I also found a new sale on the same shoes and so I tried ordering a size 11 to accommodate the future stretching. The 11s were too small for me to wear at all and I've returned them. I haven't returned the original pair because it may cost $6.50 and I really don't have any options if they were replaced, since the 12s stretched out and the 11s were too small to begin with. I since have purchased a similar product by another maker which seems to be working out so far.

These slippers are well built but they just weren't comfortable. I have returned them and will get a pair of the hand sewn moccasins. My first pair of moccasins lasted over ten years and are very comfortable but the sole lost its traction.

I love the look and feel of these slippers, but they smell like mildew or chemicals...something strong and very unpleasant. The first pair I purchased was too big, and I was glad to exchange them, as I thought that perhaps the smell was specific to that pair. However, the replacement is also smelly. I believe it has something to do with the way the leather was processed. My wife is bothered by the smell, also. I've let them air outside for several days, and they still stink. I don't know if others have experienced this issue. If you struggle with migraines or are otherwise sensitive to strong smells, I would suggest choosing a different option. I've been buying LL Bean merchandise for 30 years and have never had an issue before. This is kind of strange and disappointing.

very well constructed shoe. Great for wearing outside the house and inside the house but in bare feet they are not very cozy and kind of hard inside. Not enough fur lining inside. Nothing like bean slipper. But again if you want an inside and outside slipper these are good. Look stylish.

I bought my husband these for Xmas but unfortunately I will have to return these as the instep cover is too long and he cannot bend his foot to get into the slipper

A well made slippers for almost anything, BUT... not for me. I wear white sport socks around the house, through out the year as my floor tends to be cold/cool for bare footing around. This slippers is ONLY for people who don't wear socks as it is way way too narrow and rather HOT for a guy like me who wears thick/heavy socks. I tried wearing it without sock and OMG! too hot and sweaty. Sadly I returned it.

I wear 12 D shoe. I ordered 12 medium. Length is closer to size 11 and width closer to size EE. In otherwords, too wide and too short. Slide off heal and jam toe. Do not recommend.

I like the slippers but not blown away by them. Easy on and off, nice sole.

Nice slipper but too narrow. We ended up exchanging for another pair in Rhode Island

This version of the once-great LL Bean slipper has the thinnest sole. Not recommended.

Received these slippers as a Christmas present. My shoe size is a 12 but after several months they a size too big and do not have any structure.

These are larger than any size 10 I've ever had. And they stretched after I began wearing them. Now they fall off.

I bought these slippers 2 years ago and wear them occasionally, inside only. Even with very light use the inside liner began to tear and disintegrate. LL Bean service claimed this was "normal wear for the product." and would not repair or replace. Would not recommend for the price.

The sizing isn't accurate. Not as warm as expected.

Run too big. Instructions said to get size higher than normal. They are too big and would return if I could but have worn them around the house so I guess it's too late.

These were not crafted well. They are already tearing on the sides. The soles seem slick with no stability.

All in all a good product but the sizing is weird. I am a 11.5 shoe size I decided to order a size 11 and found way to tight. Exchanged for a size 12 way to loose but just going to deal with it.

I would give 5 stars but the fit is too big. I ordered the 1/2 size up as recommended, and they slip right off. Amount of room in these I would almost be tempted to buy the half-size smaller

They run small. Both in width and length. They also are hard to get on because of the tongue always goes into the slipper. Also because they're narrow you tend to push the heel down.

I really wanted to love this slippers. The construction is good and the sole is sturdy yet soft enough for indoor wear, however they are just too loose. I even purchased a size down, and despite the length being appropriate (any smaller and my toe would be cramped) they are just simply too wide to be useful. Especially on my right foot for some reason I am constantly kicking it off or the wall of the slipper folds up underneath my foot. They also don't breathe very well and my foot gets sweaty even on a cool day. Adding wools socks actually help with this. The problem gets worse the longer I own them (I've had them now for about 5 months).
