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.

These fit very snugly and I have a narrow foot. But they are comfy & cosy. I hope they are durable as well.

These are very warm, pretty comfortable, and easy to slip on and off. Three changes would improve them for me. First, make them a bit wider in the forefoot. I usually wear a women's 6 1/2 C, bought these in a 7, and find they restrict my toes somewhat. Second, put a bit more cushioning/arch support underfoot. And third, add soft rubberized soles: the suede soles are nonslip when new, but I know from experience they become slick as they wear over time.

The shearling slippers are well made, attractive to look at, and feel great on my feet. My major objection is that the back is too short or that it should be eliminated all together. It is that awkward size where it is neither a mule or a full slipper.

These slippers not only run small but are narrow and I have a average width foot. I ordered a size up and was shocked at how small they run. They are comfortable but it might be nice to have wide width and run more true to size.

Every couple of years I replace my trusty warm slippers with the same slipper. I have to admit this year I debated sending them back. The ladies slipper style is now the same as the mens and so we get our slippers mixed up but more importantly, the workmanship is not as good as it used to be. The slippers are rather pointy and the point on the left one goes over to the left making them uncomfortable. Over time they stretch out and are no longer uncomfortable but they just don't look right! Oh well, I am satisfied with the warmth and snuggliness of them but not the look. In 2-3 years when I replace these, I will look elsewhere.

I bought these for my mother. She likes them, and they are nice and warm. However, the mouth (whatever you call the spot where you slip them on your foot) is too small. She took them to a tailor, and widened the opening so she could put her foot in, and after that they were perfect. You should Make the opening wider so the foot slips in easily, it shouldnt take work to put slippers on. All the tailor had to do was slit the seam another two inches down, and move the leather tab.

Looking for slippers without the rubber sole, I was happy to find these. But, since I wear a 7.5W shoe, I bought the size 8. Fits well for me in the width, but way too long, even for a slipper. So, I tried the size 7 - way too short. Sigh.
Luckily, I found the LLB Double-Sole slippers with fleece liner - more expensive but I love them. The size 8 fits comfortably with or without socks on and I wear them as soon as I'm home until bedtime.

I have wide toes, narrow heel, and short feet (but they look cute). These slippers looked quite warm and felt so when I briefly tried them on. I think the thick bottom would have kept my feet warm on our concrete slab floor. Reviews said to order a size up and I did, but they were still too narrow and too long. My normal size probably would have fit in length, but way, too narrow. I don't have to shop for specialty shoes, but wide width do feel best on my feet.

Why isn't anyone mentioning in their review that LLBean did away with the lovely Women's style of this slipper, and now uses the V-front Men's style for all their Wicked Good Slippers? We liked the former Women's style, a lot. The Men's (and now Women's) style has a split front; a plunging neckline if you will. Gone is the dressy trim strip up the front, and higher front around the ankle that provided more warmth and a more secure fit of the slipper. Now there is a V-shaped area of exposed skin in the front, and as the slipper wears, it becomes more loose than the former Women's style used to.
We can't imagine why they did this, and we're disappointed.
In other respects, the slipper is still very nice, but has room for improvement. The manufacturer sews the sole to the upper with a cotton cord that wears out and parts in about a year and a half if worn every evening. A leather cord would last much longer.
The fleece also wears out eventually, especially in the heel which becomes bare after about a year and a half. This causes the slipper to lose some cushion and comfort, and the fit loosens some. So, maybe it's not terrible to have an excuse to buy new slippers when the cord wears out, but it would be nice to have a choice.
For the first year, though, this is a super comfortable slipper that is all we wear around the house in the evenings. We don't know what we would do if Bean stopped selling these!

These slippers aren't exactly what I wanted. They're nice and warm, and fuzzy and soft to the touch, but they're too flimsy (no rigidity at all to the sides) and soft-soled to suit my purposes. I want a slipper that I can slip on and take my dogs for a walk outside as well as lounge around at home.

I've been wearing this slipper style year round for more years than I can count. I find that the shearling lining seems much thinner -- in fact i wondered if it were fleece. Please bring back the quality of LLBean that we all know and respect. I'm keeping these, but am saddened that what-once-was, just isn't anymore. In my crochety old age i find that adage true about many things.

Although these slippers are warm, they are not to comfortable. The soles aren't really level/flat on the floor. They are more of a "boat shape" which tends to squeeze my feet instead of having a rounded toe. They just do not feel level to the ground when I walk on them. Disappointing.

I've had wicked good slippers now for almost 10 years. They are extremely warm, the only down fall is the seems keep fraying from wear. The upside is LL Bean stands behind their 100% satisfaction guarantee. They replaced them 4 times for me at no cost. However, the last time, instead of crediting my credit card, I received a gift card. I'm sure I'll find something to spend it on. thanks LL Bean

This is the 5th pair of these slippers I've purchased over the years. I prefer the old styling though which came higher on top of the foot. Also the newer style has an uncomfortable ridge around the perimeter of the insole. I wish LLBean would go back to the old styling. Also the price went up since free shipping now available to all.

In the last several years, the price increased, while the quality went Down.
No covered center seam any more, and the coverage at front ankle is less now.
The shape seems different, and Not in a good way.
The pair I ordered early Dec. 2011 did NOT match. Foam footbed on one slipper was thicker and denser in one of the slippers.
Second pair (replacement), "hand-picked" (inspected) is better, but still not as good as the original "Wicked Good" slippers we bought several years ago. Left slipper doesn't match the right. Center seam isn't straight on one of them, and the slipper is slightly indented at the center seam, close to the toe.
Not pleased with the recent changes to this once-perfect product. This product was much better 5 years ago. Footbed now feels cheap and hard; some kind of foam between the fleece and the outsole feels odd. There is a feeling under the left heel, as if there is a crease there, or something enbedded between the outsole abd the insole.
Bottom line: Price went UP; quality went DOWN --not as good value as it used to be. For $59.99, a pair of slippers ought to be perfect, and these just aren't.
Please bring back the earlier model and please pay more attention to Quality Control!

I bought this for my 17 y.o. daughter. She loved the "comfy-ness" of the inside, but did not like the look of the outside. She felt they were a little snug, but I am sure they would stretch with wear. Unfortunately, they are going back, as teenagers won't wear something they do not like the looks of. It is too bad the men's moccasin does not come in women's sizes--she likes the looks of those, and her father and brother LOVE theirs.

While my slippers are comfy, i was disappointed that the shearling inside was poking thru the seam on the top part of the shoe. Felt like considering the price there should be more attention to quality control.
