Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper Venetian

There is a defect in the slippers the left slipper is wider and the right side is a lot narrower with the inside of the slipper not matching with the other side.

These look like very good quality and are attractive; nevertheless I had to return them. Having to order by whole sizes made it impossible to fit well. I found the extra size I had to purchase just not comfortable enough. For me they were too long and too wide. These are too expensive to have to make concessions to my satisfaction.

The lining of these slippers was not what I expected. I've had several pair of the ballet type slippers and love their lining. This lining seemed synthetic. I went with these shoes, in part, because there is no label sewed into the inside heel. Too many of the ones featured this year have a hard leather disc sewn into them and I find it very uncomfortable.

The fur lining is uncomfortable and hard to get used to

The Sherpa inside tends to wad up under the ball of the feet!!

I bought LL Bean slippers for my husband and two kids and they all love theirs. The pair I bought for myself were true to size and are warm and cozy. My only issue is the suede collar that wraps around the back of the foot bends inward towards my body and seems very high so it rubs right under my ankle bones and the back of my heels to the point I do not enjoy wearing the slippers. I'm not sure if the suede will soften up or if the moccasin style with additional shearling in that area would be better for me but I can't even wear these slippers. My family members don't have this issue so maybe it's just my feet, but I've never had this issue before with other slippers or other footwear. Otherwise these slippers would be perfect.

These slippers are normally my favorite but these did not fit. They were smaller than the advertised size.

I reluctantly returned the slippers because the fit was poor. I wear a size 7-1/2 and ordered size 8 based on sizing recommendation. The back slipped on my heels with every step. It feels like they are cut too low in back. My daughter who is size 8-1/2 (and would theoretically need size 9) had the same experience. Too large. There was also an area behind the heel where the sherpa wasn't joined and left a gap which was uncomfortable. I bought this style for safety on the stairs, and they didn't pass the test.

Have been looking for good slippers for a long time but, alas, these are not the ones. They are way too wide for my narrow feet, so I'm forced to keep looking. Sad

Way too big! I'm a size 9, but I should have ordered an 8. They are super wide too. Foot falls out when walking. Can't return because I threw all the packing out and didn't try on the slippers until a week later. I thought they would be ok. Very disappointed. Otherwise, was made fine for someone with a wide big foot

I'm size 7.5. LL Bean recommends going to next size so I did. Instructions with item say it should fit snug and then loosen up. Mine was very loose and now I'm waiting for Christmas to see how my husbands' fit. I'm a bit irked to pay a $6.50 return charge when I followed the instructions. Slippers seem nice though.

Slipper is well made and nice looking, but needs more cushioning and arch support.

The stiff labels are sewn into the inside seam and can't be removed. It scrapes at the arch. I will probably return. If not for this stupid label they would be excellent. Llbean was moving a few years ago to remove labels but have seemed to reverse themselves and are using these stiff labels on their clothes. I bought most of my clothes there but very few items now because of the labels.

This particular slipper had a lack of cushion in the left foot which caused a sore, red spot on my big toe, and the right foot seemed to have a lack of firmness on the edge to keep the foot stable.

Very cozy but no arch support. Also no half sizes and 8 was too big so I got the 7, which fits ok but I'd prefer more room in the toe box.

I bought them in April to replace another pair. The shearling lining is not as thick as the old pair. Admittedly, they're being worn more often than before due to working from home. But still, I expected them to hold up better. I will likely exchange them before next April when the return window ends. Thankful I have that option at LL Bean!

Right slipper is definitely roomier than the left, which is a bit distracting. Otherwise these are great, shearing is very fluffy and they seem pretty durable.

Having purchased the Wicked Good slippers previously, I knew I had to go a size lower (9). It was a fairly recent purchase from a month or so ago and they are already stretched out a lot. Enough to be comfortable for a size 10. I do wear them fairly regularly. I think next time I will go back to the other slippers. I just didn't get them this time because my puppy loves the leather strings!

These slippers were comfortable when I tried them on. But they smelled of mildew and I haven't been able to wear them. They have been sitting on a sunny windowsill since I received them. The mildew smell has not abated. They are suede, so I can't bleach them. I have no idea how to get rid of the mildew smell. These slippers were never wet (they are not in the least water stained and the box they came in was not water stained), so I have no idea how they became mildewed. I ordered a second pair, but they smelled just as badly, so I returned them. I hope the mildew smell will dissipate before summer, or I'm stuck with a lovely pair of slippers that I can't wear.

Warm slipper, but loose fitting, on the wide side. Had to order down. Hoped it would be a more structured/snug fitting slipper, feels like it is too "squishy". I guess I should have read more product descriptions. Not a slipper I'd wear outside as the suede would get dirty, since it does not have a structured bottom.

The sheepskin lining mats down after just a few wearings, and less than a month later has completely flattened at the heel. Much less cushioning in the sole than my last pair, which lasted 3 years before the lining wore down. These slippers run large - I wear a 7, but the 6 fits well even with socks. Sadly, will not purchase slippers from LL Bean again.

This is the third pair of wicked good slippers that I have bought in the last 20 years. I loved these slippers. However, the pair that arrived today have a plastic label indicating the size sewn into the shearling lining. The label rubs uncomfortably on the sole of my foot, and cutting it out is going to be a delicate exercise with a razor blade given the location (see photo). A very disappointing departure from past LL Bean quality, when the size was stamped into the bottom of the slipper's rubber sole. I will not be buying these again.

I've had these slippers just under a year. I loved them at first, very warm and cute, however they started showing major signs of wear. Around month three is when they first started to become matted down and became very wide. I can now only wear them with socks. Now, there is a major hole in the side of the right foot. The leather has ripped and torn away from the sole. I have never had issues with shoes or slippers like this before. I'd want to purchase these again but not if they will only last a year.

I asked for these for Christmas since I had heard great things about them. How they were comfortable and lasted. I got them at Christmas and they are already showing signs of wear on the inside. The shearing inside on one heal is already off/out. I don't wear them everyday so I'm disappointed this happened so quickly. After a year wearing them I would expect that, not 3-4 weeks. They are comfortable but I'm not sure they're fully worth the money if this happens so soon after purchasing.
