Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

I had this type of slipper from LLBean for years - absolutely loved them. This slipper has changed. Tight and tag inside make them quite uncomfortable. Quite disappointed.

I was very excited about this purchase and they were great for a year. One of them now has a hole where the sole and the top leather connects. Unfortunately L.L.Bean do no offer repairs for them and they broke right after the warranty expired. I would say for the price these are not worth it. Sadly they would probably cost more to repair than buy a new pair.

The footbed is quite narrow, to the point that they're really tight, and I don't have wide feet. The right slipper should not have passed quality control. The central seam is crooked and I've had to break it in carefully or my foot would be slipping to the side. Since the top is unfinished, the shearling lining is shedding already. This is not what I expected from LL Bean's legendary slippers. I won't buy again.

These slippers are not made as well as they used to be, first China and now Malaysia. Excess fabric on right shoe. the shoe is more ample than previous purchases. I bought size 9 because they don't come in half sizes which up to now was always ok This is my 6th pair over the years and will likely be my last. The label inside is now paper/plastic and scratches the arch of my foot. I hesitate cutting it off because it's so close to the seam. Not happy this time. I would not recommend this slipper to a friend, especially for the price.

I was very disappointed by how short the slippers were. I thought they would be Bootie-type slippers but they just sit too low on my ankle. It feels like you are wearing structured slippers/shoes as opposed to soft house shoes, which would be fine if that's what you were looking for. However I was picturing something softer. They are also very ugly.

No one should have to feel pain to break in a pair of slippers. I've had wicked good slippers for years, my last pair wore out. So was looking forward to the treat of a new pair. I read a lot of reviews about them being cut more narrowly now. But decided to try them and size up in length. I wear a 7-7 1/2 normally, and got a size 8 women. They felt really tight through the toe bed, to the point my feet were aching and had to take them off for relief. Wrote to customer service to make sure if I put shoe stretchers in them if I could still return. I was told yes, so in go the shoe stretchers. First round, they felt better, but still uncomfortably tight. Put the stretchers back in and stretched in both length and width directions. Now they are wearable. But still not really comfortable yet. They feel to short in length and snug width-wise. Can't be bothered to return them will hope that they continue to stretch out with time. Will not buy another pair unless Bean provides a wide option. No wide in men's either, very Disappointing. It is not the fresh fluff of the shearling (customer service explanation), the cut of the leather is too small. Narrow feet with low arch may be fine, not me.

The first month was damaged, the size's became undone

After a year of wear (about mid October- beginning of May), the lacing at the bottom started to come loose. I had them repaired, and have since had to have more repairs done. I was just so disappointed that these did not last long. I wear them every day during chillier months, but I expected better quality from L. L. Bean. I would not purchase again.

My last pair of Wicked Slippers is my sixth pair of these slippers. I am so disappointed in the last two pairs. I got a pair about two years ago and the upper slid over toward the outside of the sole and the stitching wore and developed a hole. I thought this was a glitch, so I bought another pair. Same problem. I started wearing these slippers over 40 years ago and they wore for years before I had to get a new pair. What has happened to LLBean and their quality control? Very disappointed.

Good slippers, don't fit well for people with higher arches. Size was right, but can't wear them.

The opening in these slippers is smaller than the last pair I brought and is much more difficult to put on.

Seems the quality of the past is slipping. Can't easily get my foot into the slipper. Opening is too small. right slipper just does not "feel" right. For $89....not gonna work. Very disappointed, but sending them back.

As per some other reviews, the side seam on one slipper broke open just two months after the warranty ran out. Called customer service - their suggestion was ship them back and they "would evaluate". Not exactly a feel good result.

I was very disappointed in these slippers and plan to return them. Although they were quite warm, they did not provide much ankle support and the tag in the bottom of the slipper felt razor sharp unless I wore them with socks. Even then, the location of the tags made the slippers less comfortable.

I don't know how it happened but one shoe has shifted off the sole to the right. I'm now walking on the side of the shoe. I have no foot deformities and walk normally so I don't know how this happened. Fortunately I mostly use them for warmth and they are warm.

I've been hearing about these boots for years and finally decided to invest in a pair. I was disappointed when they arrived poorly wrapped, with loose shearling at the tops. They are warm but do not feel like they are made with the integrity and care that I associate with LL Bean products. Why must the tags be sewn inside for instance? I have also heard the sound of small tears at the tops when putting them on a couple of times. I wanted to fall in love with these slippers so much (and hope I still do) but I think I'll be reuniting with my former slipper brand in the future.

Had them for 2 weeks and seem already open. Bottom already wearing and getting smooth. No tracktion . Gave 2 stars because they are comfortable. But quality terrible.

I bought these as Christmas gift, visually left is narrow than the right one. Just in case I had someone tried it, left one is much tighter than the other one, I double checked the size shows on the bottom of the slippers, it is8 M, that beats me. I've been thinking about how to fix this issue...

I have been a loyal Wicked Good Slipper wearer for over 30 years. I currently have 4 pairs. The most recent ones are not made well. They stretch out quickly to the point of allowing my foot to float. I think my most recent pair was cut wrong as I had extra material on the inside of one foot causing an awkward foot pronation. Please change back.

These are very warm, but they are not comfortable for walking around the house. Also, the top edge is too floppy to make it a good slip-on. Disappointed that these feel like walking on stuffing rather than a nice supportive slipper. I returned them.

I followed the online fit guide but these are simply ill fitting all the way around. They are loose in the heel and tight in the toes and have a weird lump in the right arch. They're beautiful and I want to love them, but they actually hurt my feet! A bigger size would only make the loose heel worse. Mega fail. And now I have to pay to return them. Ugh.

Not well sized. Had to return them at my own expense.

Nothing like 'wicked good' of old. Too light on the shearling inside. Feels like I'm walking on the floor.

So disappointed in the quality of their womens slippers. I ordered them because of my past purchase of them. The new ones are too inferior compared to my old slippers. I will not be ordering again until they change back.

Right shoe felt different than left shoe. Left shoe was great but right shoe felt like the side of the foot was rolling over the outer edge of the shoe, This made the shoe feel unbalanced. Additionally, compared to the left shoe, the bottom of the right shoe was noticeably less cushioned. I will have to return the product. I (and family members) have worn this model over many years and have never had an issue. Please resolve the quality disparities!!
