Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper Venetian

While this is a toasty warm slipper, the size 10D was not a good fit for my size 9-1/2EE feet. Earlier, I had unsuccessfully tried a 10EE in one of their moccasins. The problem in both cases was that there was too much room in the heel and it felt like it was coming off. Perhaps if these were available in half-sizes, I might be able to get a better fit. The width of course was a little tight, but I was expecting that. I'm reluctantly returning them, and am going to try a moccasin with laces that I can tighten down.

I purchased the slippers in Jan. 2017 and I also have a large 2 to 3 inch hole in the front. I looked down and noticed fir sticking out. I'm in the process of returning.. My other LL Bean slippers did last over 3 years... That is what I expecting!

Great slippers from an aesthetic and comfort perspective. However, as I have only had them since last Christmas 2016, I am dismayed that the shearling (fuzzy) lining is disintegrating on the inside of the slipper. Would have expected a bit more durability. Still they are very comfortable.

These are sold as D width. They are shipped with a note describing toe tightness until broken in. Fine. Except for that the actual sole is barely in B width territory. Hopefully you have a heavy duty shoe stretcher and thin socks. On the plus side the craftsmanship is good and the sheared Aussie lamb is warm.

Ok, my husband loves his new slippers. HOWEVER - WHY NO OUTER-BOX WHEN SHIPPED SO THE DESCRIPTIVE LABEL ON THE SHOEBOX WASN'T A DEAD GIVEAWAY TO HIM (FOR WHOM IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE/GIFT) WHEN HE RETRIEVED THE DELIVERY FROM OUR PORCH??? The slippers arrived in their original carton/shoebox, and the label on the side clearly stated "L.L. BEAN MEN'S SIZE 9 MEDIUM COLOR PEAT MOSS." He's the only man in the house. I don't wear a men's size 9 medium. So he knew he was getting some type of peat-moss-green footwear for Christmas - thanks a lot L.L.Bean! I'm all for environmental conservation - we recycle every piece of paper, cardboard and any and all packaging that comes into this house. I do not recall if the checkout page asked if it were a gift, but that designation is usually for gift wrap/gift card/note, etc. which I didn't need. And, as it was a month before Christmas, perhaps someone @ L.L. Bean might/should have anticipated it could be a *secret* purchase?! I'm surprised they weren't stolen right out of their box by some rogue *postal-type* as I've also had that happen before and everyone knows L.L.Bean ain't cheap. Anyway, maybe I'm just old-fashioned and expect a little too much on someone else's part (more than just a pulse), but as L.L.Bean is rather traditional themselves, I didn't realize I'd have to state the obvious. Which reminds me, I later saw a news item on one of the tv networks about this exact problem; folks receiving their orders of childrens' toys with the labeling and pictures (even if the kid can't read yet...) clearly on the packaging as no outer-box. Just plain dumb, but I'd have expected better from L.L.Bean!

This product is, of course, made in you know where. The slippers do have a nice appearance. However, the same problem exists for all internet ordered foot apparel- the sizing.I used the international sizing and bought an 11 which proved excruciatingly too tight. I returned it for a 12 which is still not comfortably roomy. But, I was too cheap to spend another $6.50 in shipping. I advise purchasing a sign up. If I am wrong, it will just cost you $6.50.

Good slippers but soles are not what I expected. The slippers appear to be for indoor use. The soles are hard and suited even for outdoors. As a result they are noisy on indoor hardwood floors for example. I'll choose soft soles next time.

These slippers appear t be well made, but when I put them on they hurt my toes and so I had to return them.

Acceptable. No more, no less. Are they worth five times the price of a house slipper at a big box retailer? I paid it, so they must be, but my lack of enthusiasm should be obvious. My only complaint is that the sole feels too small -- both width and length -- for the size of my foot. Unlike a shoe, where the sole extends beyond the upper, or a moccasin, where the sole wraps up the sides, these feel a little "tippy". They fit, they are warm, and do not seem to be constructed of petrochemicals. Faint praise...

Slippers were to be a gift, but when they were on, there was no support and worried about wearing them on stairs. Love the style of the slipper but returned for the above reasons.

These slippers are well made and very nice, but they don't fit me. They seem to run small and very narrow. I know they're supposed to stretch after wearing them a while, but I'm not willing to take the chance and put up with narrow, uncomfortable slippers, hoping they'll stretch to fit. If you have narrow feet, order them big and enjoy!

10 is too tight and 11 falls off. Need 1/2 sizes

The slippers are nice, but I would not get them again -- they cost too much for what they are. Not a great value. The lower price flannel lined slippers are the best choice.

Taking the website's advice I ordered a half-size up - I wear a 10-1/2 so ordered an 11. The 11s came and were too big. So I returned them and ordered a 1/2 size down - to a 10. The left slipper fit fine, but the right one seems slightly too small - maybe it's my feet? Anyhow, I'm still in the break-in period. The right foot still feels too small. but I'll stick with it for now. Other than that, the quality seems to be fine.

My husband won't wear them. They are good quality and very nice. It is totally on him

I bought them based on a rave from Wirecutter. The sole is pretty flimsy and lacks arch support. The MyPillow guy's slippers are much better though the NYT would never admit that.

I have been buying Bean slippers for 40 years. This may be my last. After less than a week of wear the stuffing for both shoes pulled back to a ridge behind my toes. I don't have long toe nails. They are not as comfortable as previous ones. I am very disappointed

Nice looking slippers. After wearing 1month back of slippers caved in and wool wore off. Paid $150.00 and didn't last long. Picture attached to this review. In picture the blue slippers are llbean and are 30 years old! These slippers I just bought would work better if rear of slippers were made stronger

I like these slippers. The only downside is that the piece of leather on the heel of the left slipper started coming off within the first week of owning them. I restitched the heel myself (because returning things is always a hassle), but I don't think I should have to re-sew things that I buy. I would look elsewhere for better assembled slippers.

Bought to replace aging moccasins; very unhappy to find that the 11 medium has gotten unwearably narrow. Why??? Now im out the shipping for the return.

Very comfortable and warm. However after being worn in the evenings for 2-3 wks they look like they are 2-3 yrs old. Also the stitching in the top where it meets the side comes out (doesn't break just comes undone and there is no way to thread it back in, need a shoe repairer. so you end up with a shoe too big for you.

I've been buying wicked good slippers for decades. I always got a size 10 Wide. So when I ordered these, I did the same. Comparing them to my old slippers, the ones I received are at least an inch shorter, despite being labeled 10 Wide. Shoe sizes are a fixed measurement, L.L. Bean. They shouldn't change. I must assume therefore that it was a sub-par product made by an amateur who cannot measure.

Heel of slippers often collapses. I must constantly remove them and try them on again.

These slippers arrived with a manufacturing defect in the sole. A plastic-like ridge or bump was stuck underneath, making them uncomfortable and impossible to wear. Disappointing quality control.
