Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

I agree with Beanie57 on all counts of that previous review. I have narrow feet and these just do not work. I don't normally buy narrow shoes, so I know I'm still in the B-width range... The soft sole feels nice and the slippers are warm but on my narrow feet, the lack of solid sole or support means my feet slip side to side in the bottom of the slipper. It feels like I am walking on the outsides of the bottom seam. I also have a pair of hearthside slippers (which have support and a rubber sole) which fit much better on my narrow feet. These do fit true to size (and fit the same, length-wise, as my hearthside slippers).

I had a similar pair from ll bean from many years ago and needed to replace them. When the new ones came the opening for the foot was so much smaller than my old pair. They were too hard to get on my foot. Had to return them

These slippers were ok, but I couldn't stand to look at them. The seam down the middle caused the toe to look like a cloven hoof. The picture looked rounded. I suspect it is because of the order of steps in construction, they sewed the center seam last, and it didn't unfold smoothly.

I bought these slippers for my wife for Christmas.. They seem to fit ok but could be a bit bigger.. The problem with them is that there doesn't seem to be a "right" or "left".. It is very hard to tell which is the correct one.. Since LL Bean has gone off shore I have had the same problem with footwear I have bought for myself.. The LL Bean slippers are the highest price slippers of all the others I looked at and should be of a better quality.. Next time around I will try other brands first..

The slippers did not work for me and they will be placed in shipping channels tomorrow as returned merchandise. The slippers are warm and I did appreciate that the soft sole left no marks on my hardwood floors. My problem with the slippers is that they did not support my narrow feet; there was absolutely no arch support. I placed soft pads and finally my orthotic supports and with both of those changes my comfort level was still left wanting. Too bad.

Doesn't feel as substantial as slippers I've ordered in years past. Less padding on the sole and markedly less shearling. I measured it and it's not nearly as long and thick as before. I'm debating whether to keep this pair. I think next time I will try another site for handmade slippers I just have to remember to order earlier in the year. This is a busy time for them and they are no longer taking orders.

She (who must be obeyed) likes these a lot, but they have to be replaced every year, (at least in recent years), and she mostly only wears them in colder weather.

I owned a pair years ago which I probably bought in the early 80's. As I recall they had stiffer soles and just seemed more sturdy all the way around. They lasted for years. The little flap on the back of the heel used to be a loop. I guess the company is cutting costs by using less material for that flap. I do like the warmth these give me on cold mornings. They feel comforatble. I am sceptical they will be as long-lasting as my last pair--plus they ain't cheap in price!

My husband and I probably have ordered 10 pairs of these slippers in the last 15 years. I just ordered another pair about two months ago. I noticed right away that the shearling didn't feel as soft as in the past. I used to put my feet in and just go ahhhhhh..... Not so with these. The new ones are nice but I wish I hadn't thrown my old ones out. Please, LL Bean, step up the quality and I'll continue to purchase in the future. In the meantime, I get a feeling that these are going to wear out fast. I'll be looking elsewhere for a better quality slipper when that happens.

I purchased these same slippers a few years ago and liked them very much. However the pair I just received (same size as before) do not fit at all. As I know sheepskin slippers do tend to stretch a fair amount, if they weren't so difficult to even get on my feet due to the tightness I might wear them a little and see what happened, but so it goes. Perhaps it's the way they're cut, but there's definitely something going on here, at least for me :( ps....Why oh why are there not more slippers made in half sizes and wide widths??

I have a pair of these slippers that are about 6 years old. Only now are they starting to wear through on the bottom. I ordered a new pair and the design is different; they have a slit on the top of the foot so don't cover all the way to the ankle in front. They fit okay but I definately don't like the design because the top of my foot isn't covered.

I purchased these online so I was guided just by the photo in the catalog. While the slippers are VERY cozy, I expected a little more support in them and there is none.

These slippers are okay after needing them during a week of cold weather. I have stayed warm.. But these are cheaper than the ones I had several years ago which were much better quality. I would like to see real fleece and better quality leather. The dye runs in these. They are just not made like they use to be.

I just bought and put these slippers on, so my review is a gut reaction. I had previously owned the Wicked Good Moccasin and really liked those, although thought the footbed lining wore away in spots fairly quickly. I decided to try these, as my ankles were unprotected with the other. First disappointment is that while the back come up to the ankle, there is a deep vee in th the front, leaving that skin unprotected and cold. Dumb idea and not neccesary. Secondly as somone else said the inner footbed does not seem to match the outer, so you "slip off" making the walk unstable. I have a wide foot and wear a 61/2 to 7, more of a 7 lately so that's what I ordered. It is too long, The width feels somewhat narrow but I expected that and hoped it would stretch. I'm going return them and just have to decide if I want to get another type in a smaller size or try for a slipper from another manufacturer.

I have worn Wicked Good Slippers for years. I live on a farm and they've been indispensable for those cold nights when I may have to go outside. I just got a new pair for Christmas and feel that the quality has deteriorated. The suede seems thinner, the inserts in the foot don't match to the sole. I checked my old pair and they were also made in China so I can't blame that. Frankly, for the money I should have bought a second pair of shearling boots from Australia and used those for my slippers. This makes me sad, as I've always loved this product.

I bought my slippers 10 months ago so they haven't even been worn that many times if you consider the last 2 months of last winter and only 2 months so far this winter. With that being said, the inside of them by the heels is already worn down to the sole, which means there is no lining left in those spots. I wear an 8.5-9 so I made the mistake of ordering a 9. They are now stretched to the point where I can literally slip my feet into them without even touching the slipper so I have to make it a point to wear thick socks in them to make them more snug to walk around the house in. I recommend these as far as warmth goes, but durability and stretch factor are a little disappointing for the price.

The Wicked Good Slippers are comfortable and warm. However, they are expensive for slippers and stretch out within a few hours of wearing them. LLBean changed the construction a few years ago and although I have purchased several pairs since then, this will be my last. I will be trying a different style or another brand because of the stretching. The slippers become sloppy fitting after 2 or 3 hours.

These were soft but required 2 hands to put on because of the small opening. They were much too wide and slightly too long on my size 10 narrow foot. I could've kept them to wear only with socks but that would've made them even harder to get on, plus, they don't have an indoor/outdoor sole so would limit use. I used a $10 gift card and now it's gone. Wasted. I'd suggest only buying the slippers in a store where you can try them on.

I purchased these slippers as a gift for my wife. She loves them, except the soles are not sturdy enough and make her left foot roll to the side. The left upper portion of the left slipper is too loose and not even with the right upper portion of the slipper, which, when combined with the sole, further purshes her foot further to the left. The right slipper is perfrect...so a little more quality control is in order.We will be returning this pair for another in hopes that this is not a common problem.

I wear a 7.5 shoe and my feet are a bit wide. For these to be worth the $$ for me, they'd have to be a bit wider. As it is, I could feel the edges of the cushioning underfoot. I returned them. Plus, (feedback for LLBean) and I knew this before purchasing, I wish they had a rubber bottom so you could run out to grab the mail, etc... Also, some colors couldn't hurt- think bright red or lavender.

The lining of the slipper is so, so comfortable, I love that it is a soft sole and that it covers my ankles. I have slightly wide feet and these slippers were too narrow for me. As I walked, my feet continued to slide to the left or right. In addition to this problem, I didn't like of the appearance of the slipper from a bird's eye view angle. I thought that the toe section looked a little too pointy for my taste.

I purchased these slippers for myself but had to return them. I was born with a wide foot (for a woman) and a high instep and arch. I wear a 7 1/2 WW shoe and bought an 8 slipper. I could not even get the slippers on. I usually fit into size 8 slippers of other brands. These were very tight for a slipper. I returned them for men's size 8W mocassin slippers and I am very happy with them.

I have worn these slippers for years and loved them to shreds. Whenever I get a new pair, I look forward to that feeling of putting my feet into clouds, so was very sad to find that the quality I dearly remembered is no longer there. These slippers are not as well constructed as my last pair (the seam down the middle of the foot is no longer covered), not as consistent (the left slipper is larger than the right one and the sole feels subtly "off-center" as well) and not as fluffy (the sheepskin lining is uneven). Darn. Still, they are not bad and I wear them daily.

I bought these to replace my long-wearing original pair. Love them, but the fit has changed. Because of the deep V in front of the ankle, my foot pops out of the heel. These are definitely the right size and only time will tell if these will stay on my feet once the fur is compacted. I am disappointed that they aren't as good a fit as my older pair.

I got a pair of these in the mail for Christmas but one was poorly made and I had to return the pair to the store. Got another pair in the store and LOVE them! My daughter liked them too so I ordered her a pair for her birthday...arrived in the mail and fit poorly. So, bottom line, these are really nice slippers but it seems to be essential to try them on. Sizes are off and sometimes so is quality. When you get the right pair, they are heavenly.
