Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper Venetian

So narrow, particularly at the toe, that there was no way it would fit my son although he has fairly narrow feet.

Received the slippers, plush, warm, comfy. exactly as described. however after 1 week of wearing the top part of the slipper came undone. as in the stitching let go and now there's a big hole. Not what i expect from L.L.Bean, probably wont buy again.

When these are new they are excellent, but LL Bean quality isn't even close to what the brand used to stand for. I bought these in Feb. 2020 and by the following winter the seam was ripped and the sole separated from the slipper. LL Bean customer service said too bad, that it was a wear issue and not a quality issue and they wouldn't replace. To me, seams coming undone on slippers that fit is a quality issue, particularly a year after purchasing an $80 pair. Unacceptable and extremely disappointed.

The shoes only come in one width and I have a narrow foot so the heel does not grab my foot securely.

Love them on the inside, but I can't stand hard, stiff soles on a houseshoe. They go "ka-lonk, ka-lonk, ka-lonk" when you walk around the house. That doesn't bother some people, but for me it's very irritating.

like the slippers but not the soles. They leave awful marks all over my wood floors

Very loose fit; they fall off my feet every time I bend down. They stretch too easily. Difficult to keep them on. Would not buy them agai.

I have returned two pairs because of poor workmanship. Not like the old LL Bean when products were built to last

They are a pair, in the sense that one goes on the left foot and the other on the right foot, but the parts which cover my toes look like they were made for different size slippers. I think quality control is lacking.

The traction of the sole is good but if one doesn't walk carefully, the sole can "grip" the floor causing fall. And as good a traction there is, it is still very, very slippery. Just a little moisture will cause slipping. Sorry I bought these.

My husband loved LLBean slippers. His last pair got worn out after a few years, so I purchased him a new pair. I ordered him a new pair in January 2021, received them in February, and they literally fell apart in March! He only wears them in the house. He works from home sitting at a computer all day, but these slippers look like he just ran the Boston marathon in them! We are extremely disappointed in the quality of these slippers! I've included pictures of the wear and, literally, tear of these slippers.

Purchased these slippers at the end of October in the fall, have been wearing them nearly daily since, indoors only. It's now the beginning of March, and I've just about worn through the lining in part of the right slipper entirely, and getting close on the left. They're otherwise great, and the exterior is in perfect condition still. The lining, however, seems to wear out very fast... I haven't even had these for half a year yet. I bought these to replace a different pair from another brand that I had been using for several years... on that other pair, the sole was separating from the upper but the lining was still in great condition. Looks like I just can't win with slippers.

Ordered a Men's size 12D and it was too narrow and too short. Had to return. It says that it will at first fit "snug," but this was really too tight.

These were a Christmas gift from my parents. They were very comfortable slippers but in less than a year a hole developed in the side which I thought was a strange spot. The clerk at the LL Bean store said it was "normal wear" and would not uphold the guarantee. I believe the quality has dropped during these last five+ years and I will instead have to search out another brand that uses better quality materials and stands by their product.

Purchased for my son in January of 2019, upon his return from school I noticed the stitching has started to come apart on one of the slippers. In full disclosure after noticing this I proceeded to had wash the slippers and did get them much more wet than a spot wash. This was after I noticed the stitching issue and had nothing to do with my cleaning. I spoke to customer service to see if this is something they could repair and they said they could not but to send in for warrantee evaluation. I spoke to a representative and was declined warrantee because I got them too wet while cleaning even though the stitching issue was prior to cleaning and had nothing to do with the quality of the stitching and the fact that they were more than a year old. Just be cautious of the stitching prior to the one-year mark and buy with the understanding that the LL Bean warrantee is not what it used to be. Previously loyal customer that has spent about $1,000 per year.

After researching many brands, I asked for these for Christmas, mostly influenced by the positive reviews. When I put them on, one slipper was much narrower in the toe box, squishing my toes together. Poor quality control there. In addition, the sole is extremely narrow so your feet easily roll to one side... they are a sprained ankle or fall waiting to happen IMO. I returned them and will continue my search.

So, so disappointed. I have ordered these shoes for numerous people for gifts through the years. They aren't the same quality as they used to be. LL Bean used to be known for their great return policy, which made it easier to spend so much for a pair of slippers. That policy is not what it used to be. This pair of shoes did not last 9 months. Very disappointed in quality of product and helpfulness of team member. I think you are better off getting a cheaper pair of slippers and just replacing them more often. It would definitely be cheaper.

Purchased a pair of storm chaser slip on shoes (size 11) a couple of months ago. I am very pleased with the fit of that product, When shopping for these slippers I was unsure of the size and asked your representative about sizing. They suggested going up a size so I went with the larger 12. I think they may stretch some, so they are a bit to large.

I had to return the first pair of these slippers due to bad quality and fit. The left slipper looked much different than the right side and it was hard to tell which foot it was for due to bad design. The 2nd pair isn't much better. The right side will slip off my foot sometimes because the flap that goes over the top of the foot is shorter than on the other side; not quite long enough to keep the slipper on. One side looks different than the other, not like a matched pair. The left slipper that stays on fine has a longer flap that goes over the top of the foot. Not the quality I had come to expect from L.L. Bean after about 25 years of being a customer.

I bought these after foot and ankle surgery to wear around the house. (In Hawaii, we generally do not wear shoes indoors.) I really needed the support that the sole provides and the sole is excellent. I had trouble with the fit but my right foot is a mess after decades of Karate and Ironman races. Broken bones, etc. The reason I had to throw them away was that the fleece lining started to stink after about a month. I won't buy these again. I found a similar pair on a major web marketer with a flannel lining that was about half the price and works much better. It has the same sole.

I have owned these for just over a year. Received them in Jan 2019. I only wear them around the house and in the colder months (spend the summer in the closet unworn). The material of the toes on the right slipper split at the seam. Called customer service and they require I send them back to be reviewed. these are not good quality. Seems previous versions were higher quality.

I can't wear them. They are way too tight. I have bought slippers from LLB for Years. This is the first pair that I really cannot use. Very disappointed.

I love these slippers they are very comfortable. But the sad and unfortunate truth is that they are not made to what you expect out of LL Bean quality. For a more expensive premium slipper you expect quality. I order my first pair in the summer of 2018 and by January of 2019 I already needed a new pair due to the suede separating from the sole. Now as I right this review February of 2020 the replacement pair is doing the same thing. Very disappointed.

Only had it a day when I got some water on the side of one slipper and when it dried it left it "stained" and hard. Spoke to someone on this site's online support, was told to use a drop of dawn soap and a rag and now the same weird, hard, and dry "stain" is larger and worse.

This is my 4th or 5th pair of these slippers over the years and for whatever reason this particular pair is much, much (did I say "much") wider than the MEDIUM shown on the tags -- will be returning. Not sure if LLB has a new manufacturer or not but simply not wearable as is with this width. Length perfect.
