Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Squam Lake Bootie

A little disappointing. Not as comfortable as I thought they would be.

They were very comfortable except one slipper was sewn too tight and it was painful. I bought them on sale so I was not happy with color selection on sale and since one was very painful I sent them back. I think it was a manufacture error so hopefully when they come out again with the color I like, I will try again. I have a narrow foot so there's no good reason one would be too tight except for a malfunction in manufacture

I returned and chose to keep a different pair of wicked good slippers of a different style. The comfort and support Of the wicked good swam lake booty is the best I ever have felt, for problem feet, cold weather, and if you can accept the color choices, probably would be the best. I now have two different pair of Bean slippers. I settled for other style because of color and being able to wear hopefully a little longer toward summer. Rating low only because of color choices, however if you like blue, it is a gorgeous rich blue.

If one has a high instep (me), these will be work to get on. I was disappointed that the nice fuzzy cuff is GLUED DOWN and can't be flipped up to warm the ankles. Why glue it?!? Gluing adds another manufacturing process, thus cost. when first opened, I noticed a small, quarter-inch scrape of the surface. This was not enough to return them. Howsomever, the packaging and tags had been trashed/recycled before I tried them on. I will keep them, I guess, but they are not the cold weather comfort I had been looking for.

These slippers are nicely made. However, they were too tight when wearing with wool socks. Returned them.

I really wanted these to work. The size 8 was too large for my 7.5 foot. The size 7 was a good fit, after I managed to get it on my foot. I knew I would never be willing for the struggle on a regular basis. The slippers were pretty, comfortable and warm, but I had to return them.

I liked the slipper ok at first, but as I wore them for several days I found they were not supportive enough around the bottom of the foot. I think the soles of the bootie should be thicker. I had also purchased a pair for my daughter but she did not like hers and I returned them (at a charge to me which I was not happy about).

I ordered a size 8 and received a size 6. I have sent back the wrong ones and am waiting on correct size. I will send a new review when we get the correct size.

I read a review of these slippers which said they felt like cotton balls under their feet. I should have heeded that warning! Just received these today, and they're going back tomorrow. The foot bed feels strange. Like the arch support is in the wrong place. It's too bad, because they're cute.

80% of the time I wear a size 9 shoe, some brands I need a size 9 1/2. The slippers came in a size 9 or size 10. I ordered a size 9 - which LL Bean also recommended, based on previous LL Bean shoe/boot purchases. Honestly, I couldn't get my right nor my left foot in the slippers. I cannot attest to the slippers potential comfort or warmth. They were a high price point, and I wasn't about to spend the time or money to request a size 10; with the possibility of spending $13.00 to return two slippers that did not fit.

Based on other reviews I thought these were going to be great. They were just enormous on me. Super wide, too long, and the sole wasn't soft enough. The Velcro really couldn't make the slipper tighter. It's not very functional. So, I had to return them.

I purchased Size 9 of these slippers for my niece for Christmas. She loves them and wears them outside. Very comfortable, true to size, and warm.

I didn't love these. They were bulky and not what I was looking for in an "around the house" slipper.

Nice slipper, way too expensive for what it is. I only bought it because I used my bean bucks. It's overkill with the strap. They don't need it, the opening for your foot is quite sufficient and won't fall off your foot. Only comes in two colors. Fail as far as I'm concerned, but I only paid $26 for them after my bean bucks, so I would say they are by no means worth $100!!

I ordered my usual size. The slippers were warm slippers but they were so tight across the top of my foot that they hurt! I wore them for a few days and even used leather relaxer on them with no relief. Such a shame. I had to return them.

I wanted to love these. The footbed is very narrow and i don't have a wide foot. The design overall doesn't seem good.

the top of the slippers are too tight and dig in to the foot - its a beautiful slipper if only they made the top more spacious returned them

Beautiful slippers, warm, good sole. True to size, that is once you painfully shoehorn your foot into them. I used a sharp scissors to cut a V in the center top suede part about 1.5" so now I can slip them on.

These arrived today and I could not get my foot into the slipper despite the velcro closing. So disappointed!

I'm 77 and I really tried for a few weeks, the V is too high. I donated, hopefully the next person will enjoy.... I fit is true to size, the warmth is fantastic, I cannot get my leg up high enough to put on.

Have to return - much too tight on top of my feet. The velcro strap does nothing - the leather in front of that is too tight, and not adjustable. Even bought a size up, roomy length/width. Just a bad design. Wish I'd listened to all the other reviewers who said the same. Otherwise looked nice, but not as thickly padded as some others.

The strap across the front is for decoration - it has no function and you can't adjust tightness with it. The top of the boot is is way too tight, and painful. Also, the quality looks poor for the price.

I was unable to even get these on, due to the narrow opening, and no pull on tab on the back of the slipper. The velcro strap on top has not real purpose as the foot opening is small and it doesn't allow any extra space. VERY disappointed.

Couldn't even get them on my foot despite being the right size. The stitching on the top of the slipper is too high up for anyone with an even remotely high instep.

The look of the shoe is okay and is warm. However, the heel of the shoe is too soft and the materials used to make it is too soft and thin which gives the foot no support when walking. When walking, the foot moves backwards. After wearing it twice, I couldn't wear it anymore because it felt very uncomfortable and I put it away somewhere.
