Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

I bought these slippers in 2014 because, having had them in the past, they warm both my feet and my ankles. A prior pair had to be returned after about a year because the stitching holding base to the upper came undone. LLBean replaced them free of charge. This pair (purchased subsequent to the replacement pair) have an uneven base that causes my feet to roll outward, stressing the ankle. I can't tell whether it's the fleece inside causing this, or the base. I tried combing the fleece to even it out. Also tried cutting some fleece away on the "high" inner part. Thus I would recommend these slippers only for those whose ankles roll in. I believe I've given them a lengthy and fair trial period but won't be purchasing this model again in spite of its appeal re providing warm ankles.

Pros: Very warm! Love the dark brown color! Keeps ankles warm, too! Cons: No support should you need that. It clearly says this doesn't have an "outdoors sole" (my description). Leather/suede-y bottom. But IMHO be warned - even indoors this can make for a slippery footing. I have wood floors, tile floors and carpeting on steps. I have reluctantly decided I just don't feel secure in my footing with these slippers purely because of the sole and quit wearing them only for that reason. Will order a pair of moccasin type with a non skid bottom.

This pair was a replacement for a pair that I owned for 12 years. A redesign has made them narrower and they do not come up as high on the ankle. Considering that they were $25 or $30 more expensive I do not feel as if I paid for the LLBean value product I have been purchasing for the last 35 years.

I wear a 8 1/2 so ordered a 9 as instructed. I have very narrow feet, but the pointed toe of this slipper makes it tight in the toe area even though it is considered medium width. If the toe were more rounded shaped more like one's foot it would be much more comfortable. They are, however, wonderfully warm.

I am not a man and do not want men's slippers. I have purchased 3 pair of the Wicked Good slippers over the past 7yrs. I loved them. My friends and relatives have also ordered them based upon my recommendations. No longer! They slide up & down on my heels. The old style was great. I am totally disappointed in this change. You had a great product now you change it. BY,BY. till you change back.

These slippers are designed exactly the way my old slippers from 40 years ago were but . . . they are made of material so soft and floppy that it tripped me when I first put them on. It was too much like having a large wad of soft material wrapped on my feet. Very hard to put on my feet, I had to reach down and pull the sides up. Inside softness is fine but needs to have a more substantial outer layer of leather to hold sides up and provide support. Unfortunately will be returning these slippers.

My "go to" slippers. Love them. I have arthritis and bunions and these always felt so good on my feet after a long day of work. But, after a couple of years, the seams where the sole meets came apart. For the money I would expect them to last longer. Due to the cost and lack of durability I won't be buying another pair.

These are so warm and comfy - they would have easily gotten a 5-star review from me, except for the fact that they didn't last long before the side split at the seam on the one. Very disappointing for such an expensive slipper.

I just received these...planned on giving them to my daughter for Christmas. I will probably send them back. She wears a 7.5 and ordered up as stated in the description. Then I open them up and they say they should be snug at first,then they stretch out. As I refer back to the reviews I see that supposedly they run big and wide. One person said she usually wears 8.5 and 8 fit her perfect. What? And was surprised that the "fluffy" inside wasn't as soft as I expected. Of course this is all my opinion. But I have one question for llbean...why no slippers with half sizes???

I love the fit. However am having some issues with the smell of the dye.

I bought these slippers as a gift for my 89 yr old Mom. She had a pair in the past and loved them. Unfortunately because her ankles are so swollen she could not even get the slipper on.This style is not made for any one with large ankles. I will be returning them .

I received a pair of these Wicked Good Slippers for Christmas (2015). They're warm and comfy and I've worn them around the house (on hardwood floors, carpet and linoleum) for maybe an hour in the morning and an hour at night. After less than eight weeks the stitching is worn through on one slipper and the seam is coming apart. I am very disappointed in the poor quality of the slippers, especially considering the price. I'm going to contact LL Bean but, in the meantime, I cannot recommend these.

This was the #1 item on my Christmas list this past year- and Ive worn them (indoors only) every day since receiving. They continue to be very warm and comfortable--however have stretched out considerably! I read reviews before passing along my size and decided on a 1/2 size smaller than normal, however it should have been a FULL size. Pretty bummed with how they continue to 'grow' only after a month of receiving them and will try another style next time.

Kept walking over on the sides of the slipper. Same thing happened last time. Should have returned them. Wore them twice and will not wear again

My husband sews up the soles on my 20+ year old LL Bean Moose hide slippers (have two pair) about every seven or eight years. The newer suede slippers are OK but don't wear or hold a candle to the quality of the old ones. Am willing to pay more for Moose hide that wears forever.

I looked and looked for women's slippers WITHOUT the rubberized sole. This is the only pair that I found, even after searching the web. They are not really the style I wanted, and are rather tight now, until I get them "used to my feet." I will keep them, and hopefully they will become a little wider and more comfy with wear.

I wear a size 6.5 or 7 in all shoes, so I ordered a size 7. These slippers were huge!! They must have been mislabeled. At any rate, I called LLBean and was able to send them back without paying return postage, so I was happy about that. However, I am afraid to order another size and I am disappointed because the slippers themselves looked so comfy.

These were exactly what I wanted but unfortunately I am returning them. They were warm, fit right and soft. I have a balance problem and my heel kept slipping off of the round laced heel part. I would recommend them to every one who doesn't have this problem.

I ordered these to replace some sheepskin slippers I have had for years. My others had a sole you could wear outside and were very sturdy. These were very soft & warm but just not well fitting or supportive, and already looking sloppy with the leather sagging in places. I just didn't feel they would wear well or the quality was up to the price I paid. I am returning them.

The quality is very good. The leather soles look like they will last longer than the plastic soles from another manufacturer. However, the fit leave something to be desired. A small slip of paper that came with the slippers stated that the toe area would be a bit tight at first, but that my toes would make enough room in the furry lining. But why wasn't sufficient toe room designed into the slipper in the first place? As it is, each slipper is designed with long narrow pointed toes, while feet are not, making it difficult to distinguish the right foot from the left, and squeezing the toes in the process. Wear only improved the situation a little.

Good: So warm and the footbed is sturdier than the pictures made it seem. Love these slippers except for this one major bummer... Bad: The seam in the back where the pull-up tab is located is so weak. I've only had these slippers for a few weeks and in 2 different pulls the seam has come undone about 1.5 inches. Will be returning, sadly.

I ordered these for myself after reading the mostly glowing reviews. When I pulled them out of the box, I thought they didn't seem very substantial for $80 slippers. But when I put them on, they were indeed very soft, warm and comfy. I just hate how they look, IMO they are really ugly. I was about to box them up and send them back when my 11 year old son tried them on and fell in love, so now he's enjoying them. So this pair got a happy ending. One person's ugly is another person's cozy ( ;

I used to wear these kinds of slippers years ago, and thought I'd get another pair. I have narrow feet. These slippers are not only too wide, but also quite long. I have bought some insoles to put into them, hoping that will make them more comfortable for me. I'm sure that people with wide feet would love them.

Slightly disappointed, last pair was complete rubber soles and not imported/

These are comfortable, but the size 10 did not fit me.They fit in the heel only. It's a common problem these days for manufacturer's that do not allow enough room in the ball area of the foot and toes. Too narrow in the front of the slipper. No room for a full spread of straight toes. Maybe would fit someone whose toes are very small indeed.
