Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper Venetian

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.

I gave the slipper time to fit my foot as was suggested. It is still very tight at the toes and I have to slip them off my heels to give relief to my toes. I love the warmth, but the tightness at the toes is uncomfortable and I would recommend anyone to get a half size larger.

Nice quality sliippers, but too narrow and small. Unfortunately I had to send them back.

I have bought wicked good slippers for myself and others for many years in the past. Prior to this pair, I felt like my feet were walking on a cloud in heaven inside these slippers. They truely were 'wicked good' slippers. These do not feel the same. They are slightly short and tight (I wear 6 1/2 and ordered 7 - the box said 7). The feel of the lambs wool is not as soft or plush. They are OK but not what I expected. The lambs wool in my old wicked good slippers (probably 15 years old now) still feels softer, plusher and more comfortable - even though they now are quite worn and some of the wool has worn away. I hope you go back to your old recipe for these slippers, whatever it was. I don't plan to buy them again, unless I can check them out at an L.L.Bean store before deciding on another purchase. Hopefully, you will go back to the old way of making these slippers.

I wanted to like these slippers but the heel is not tight enough. My heel slips and I feel that after wearing over time they will be too big. I prefer the bootie style Wicked Good slipper.

Can't say I wasn't warned by the reviews, but yes my size turned out sloppy large, not true to size. There is something uncomfortable about the furry insides as well. I find myself continuing to wear my worn-out furry-lined ballet slippers from a few years ago, that I used to buy over and over. So much better made but they can't last forever. I do like the blue color. I don't return things -- never have.

They were so big when I walked my foot came right out they are also wide in the width Very disappointed

After wearing my slippers for about 4 months I'm sad to say I have to return them as they have stretched to the point where I can't wear them without thick socks keeping them on.

I have worn LLBean slippers for years. This is a different style than I have worn in the past and the heel is very wide. It slipped up and down when I walked. I think that when the lining pushed down with wear, the problem would have been worse. I had to re turn them.

I was slightly disappointed, they seems large and clunky, almost like I bought mens slippers by mistake. They feel like I am tripping over my own feet! Not as comfortable as other bean slippers I have bought. I wanted to get away from the shoelace ties of the other slippers... but not happy with the look. All in all, I got what I ordered, but a little disappointed with the look especially, and that they are not as "cushiony" as the others. Wish I would have ordered the traditional wicked goods.

I have been buying wicked good slippers for several years. I love the feel and the comfort of the slippers. However, the quality is not the same. I wear my slippers all the time indoors. The shearling wears out after about six months. I purchased a pair in January and by July the shearling is worn to the soles and now the stitching has come out of the left toe. I will buy them again as I love the slipper, but I don't expect it to last more than six to eight months.

After wearing these for about a week, I noticed something wonky going on with the shearling lining in the right heel. It was pulling away from the leather and making kind of a hole. I'm sending them back and trying a different style.

We purchased 4 pairs of slippers for Christmas presents. Two pairs were women's wicked good. These were replacing worn out slippers of the same kind. However my daughter only got to have her new pair for four days. A raccoon stole her right slipper from the deck. We were very disappointed that when we called in we were told we couldn't buy a new right slipper only. Raccoons love LLBean too. Just wish they wouldn't take my daughter's Christmas present.

Love the shoe but it is way too wide. Would love it if you would make shoes in a narrower width. I'm keeping the shoe because I like it so much but need inserts to make it fit better

I purchased a pair for myself and after awhile the outside seam opened up so it was replaced and now the second pair did the same thing. I am disappointed although I did purchase a pair for my daughter for Christmas in hopes that won't happen to hers...... ;(......

These were nice quality and appeared to be made well, however since they are not available in 1/2 sizes, they ended up not working out for me. I bought a 7 and although the info cards said they should be snug, they felt like they were cutting off circulation. I took them into a store to exchange, however, the 8 was too large and slipped on my foot. I ended up exchanging them for a 7 in the Wicked Good Moccasins which fit slightly longer and wider in the toe - perfect! I recommend trying on in store if possible.

This is my second pair of shearling slippers from Bean and this pair just isn't as plush as the ones I purchased two years ago. They don't feel snug around the toes like they should -- I think it's from lack of enough shearling and not enough padding in the footbed. They are comfortable, but not as comfortable as my previous pair. Might try a different source the next time I'm needing a new pair.
