Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

They are a nice warm, quiet slipper on uncarpeted floors but not comfortable because my feet kept sliding sideways off the footbed. Sent them back and am continuing my hunt for a quiet, warm and comfortable slipper.

Not good fun me. Slit on top of slippers let in too much cold air

I've worn this style of slipper for years. Got a second pair recently to keep at another house. The original pair that I have been wearing for more than 10 years are still going strong. The new ones I've worn minimally for 10 months are already coming apart. I would avoid these. The cost of returning defective products makes LL Bean products too risky to buy now. Pair on left have years of use; pair on right are the new ones.

The threads on the outsides of the slippers seem prone to wearing down and breaking. The stitching used doesn't hold up very long, so holes along seams should be expected. For the money, they really should last longer.

I love the warmth of these slippers but this is the second pair I've purchased and the second time the stitching has torn. Sad to say I won't be buying a third pair.

The insole on the pair I received is uneven so that my foot rolls to the side and I end up walking on the side of the slipper. It seems like the material is bunched up on insole. I was hoping they would break in, but never did. It's unfortunate, because that are warm and cozy, but so annoying I can't wear them. I purchased them a few years ago and wish I had spoken up sooner, but always thought they would improve. They didn't.

Not a wide bottom on these so you may be walking on the seam. Not at all what I expected since my last pair was over-the-top great! The price has me dealing with them till they wear out.

I wanted to love these. The first pair I got fell apart within 6 months. The second pair the sheepskin bunched up on one side and caused my foot to pronate inwards causing pain in my foot. Overall a huge disappointment.

I received a pair as a gift 3 years ago. They were the most comfortable slippers that I have ever had, Unfortunately the stitching came apart and I can no longer wear them. Based on this I would say they are not worth the money that was paid for them.

When I opened my package a strong mildew odor wafted out. The shoebox and the slippers both were infused with mildew odor. Slippers have been out in the sun for a week and still there's an odor (not wet sheepskin smell- mildew). Super disappointing. Additionally the tag is located inside the inner arch of the footbed and is quite itchy. Requires small sewing scissors to remove. My previous same slippers were great and wore out after many years; I was looking forward to replacing them and really sad about this new pair.

I have bought several pairs of these slippers over the years and have always been happy with them until this purchase. This pair is very poorly made with crooked seams and the left shoe is larger than the right one! This pair should have been classified as factory seconds (at best) and not sold for full price! I did not return them as I had to have a pair for the trip we were leaving on the next day otherwise they would have gone back. I sincerely hope that the company improves their quality control issues as these have always been well made and worth the expensive price tag before.

I was disappointed in the overall quality of the fleece used to make the slippers. The leather seemed thin and the fleece was not squishy. I will return these when I come to Maine in June.

I've been ordering these slippers for decades. This is the first pair of wicked good slippers I've ever received that has a bad smell. A cross between formaldehyde and mold? Can't tell. Even my friend who can't smell well usually, walked into my home, and said what is that bad smell? It was the slippers that I had near the entry way, they even smelled bad to her.

I have been a great fan of these slippers for years. The last 2 pairs had the stitching at the heal completely come undone after one year. I use to get a longer life with these before. Also the lining is not as thick as it use to be. I'm not sure if manufacturing has changed but it has been disappointing.

This is my 2nd pair of these slippers and I must say that this pair feels much different then the first. both slippers feel like they are left footed. My right slipper also has a clump of sheepskin on the bottom . Very disappointed.

I have owned several pairs of wicked good slippers throughout the years and have always enjoyed their comfort and durability. The most recent pair however, did not meet my expectations. As suggested, they were worn for a few days to stretch them. The construction of the slipper was such that it forced my foot to slide outward to the point that they feel unstable. I did not save the invoice or the packaging because I have always been confident of their quality. Now I am left with a pair of expensive slippers that I can't wear.

This is my 3rd attempt to review these slippers. I'll keep this short in the event this does not post either. My experience with these slippers is much like many others. The left and right slippers seemed to be cut/made very differently. The right fit like a glove and the left inner padding/sole was cut much narrower than the actual leather bottom. This caused my foot to slide outward and off the edge of the footbed. I only wore them the evening they arrived and part of the following day. While I wore them just putzing around the house, my foot kept slipping sideways almost turning my ankle. In that short time you could already see that it caused me to end up walking on the side of the slipper where the stitching is. Like the whole slipper was tilted inward with the sole twisted. I imagine that is what lead to the stitching wearing out and breaking that is seen in many of the photos others have posted ? I bought this style thinking that the higher boot cut might be more secure and safer on my foot, but I found them to be awkward as I kept slide ing off balance in them. The other issue I had just wearing them 2 times, when I took them off my white socks we stained a yellow-brow color from the Nile to the toes. It looked like the socks were dipped in coffee ! I am not sure if this was dye from the leather or something in the fir lining... maybe this goes away after long term use ? Anyway, I had wanted these for a while and after reading mixed reviews I thought I'd take a chance. You always think that maybe others happened to just get a bad pair and maybe you'll get lucky and receive a perfect pair. Unfortunately, like so many others, I had to return them. I think they are a great design and have potential to be a favorite slipper if they were able/willing to fix the issues that seem to be noted in the numerous reviews. On a positive note - the Wicked Good mule/clog style slippers are MUCH better. They are super soft, warm and comfortable.I bought a pair for a friend and she RAVES about them, they are very well constructed and holding up really well.

My previous pair of these slippers lasted for almost ten years before I needed to replace them. I loved them. This newer pair (bought December 2019) has lasted barely over a year and already the lining is worn thin, the slippers are stretched out, and the left slipper lists to the right. I won't buy again and feel that L.L. Bean has traded on their reputation while cutting corners and with it quality. Eventually the reputation follows.

These slippers could be great, but I had to return my first pair in early Feb. 2021 because the right-foot slipper had a defect: after 2 wks of wear, the right-foot slipper increasingly tilted toward the outside, to the point where I was walking on the outside seam of this slipper instead of firmly on the sole. The left-foot slipper is fine. Viewing the 'wear' marks on the sole of each slipper, it is clear from the marking on the right-foot sole that it veered toward the outside. I requested a replacement pair. Unfortunately, 2-3 weeks into wearing them, the same problem arose on the right-foot slipper. I will be returning this pair, as well. I suspect both pairs were part of a defective shipment, given both pairs had the same defect. It's unfortunate, the left-foot is a perfectly good and cozy slipper. (It is not my feet, as I've never had this problem with any other footwear.)

These are really nice slippers and very comfortable. I got them as a gift in 2019. However just over a year this Dec 2020 (pass the return date) later the right foot outer seam lacing failed. It just disintegrated. The lining also flattened out and slipper became to loose to wear unless I wear a thick sock. I always wore these inside.I agree with other reviewers that these are way too pricey to have them fail so soon. I too have purchased other slippers elsewhere for a third of the price that lasted for several years. I now have to keep making excuses when my DIL who gave me these as a gift-greets me at the door (observing covid rules) and see I am not wearing them. I have contacted customer service and a very nice rep has explained the process to return which Iwill do. It may be a while but I can't wear them. So more excuses to DIL for a but longer.

I was given my first pair of these slippers as a Christmas gift and wore them daily for around 7 years. They were amazing and I asked for another pair for Christmas 2018. Within the first 4 months the slippers broke down in a strange way that made them twist sideways / roll in, something my old ones never did. I tried fluffing out the inside to see if that would help and it would for a couple of days. Then I got a pair of wool inserts and put them in to try to stabilize things. It worked ok for a while and then I just stopped wearing them as often. I put them on today and as I was pulling them on the side of the slipper split - right through the hide and not at a seam. I came onto the site to find out about returning them and see that the LL Bean return policy has drastically changed. As much as I loved my old pair, after reading all the reviews it really looks like slippers of that quality are a thing of the past at LL Bean and with the 1 year limit on returns I'm now looking at other options. Spending $89 a year on slippers isn't an option.

The slipper is fantastic excpet for the tag placement inside each slipper. It's unbearable to wear without cutting out the tag, but the tag is place deep enough inside that it's difficult to cut out without damaging the stitching of the slipper. Just a poor design choice, especially for a high end product. Would not recommend becuase of the tag.

I thought these would be the perfect, cozy slippers. They offer no support so my foot slipped around inside the slipper when I walked. Ended up walking a lot on the side of the slipper. Perhaps the moccasin would have been a better choice. Disappointed as I have expected for the price a great slipper.

I loved the design and was eager to wear something while I Zoomed all day. Unfortunately, the shearling quality is poor and much thinner than the UGG's that I ultimately purchased. The stitching in one toe started to unravel after about two weeks. So disappointed- I really wanted to like these and have always adored LL Bean products.

I don't remember when I bought these slippers, maybe 4 years ago. Worn a few times then lost for 2+ years (packed away with Christmas decorations!) Found recently and wearing them now. It's noticeable that every time I remove them I'm also removing more and more fleece, especially around my ankle/heel areas; the fleece just comes off the leather in clumps. Otherwise the slipper is in excellent shape since they've been worn only a few times. LL Bean doesn't honor their 'warranty' any more like they used to so I don't expect to be able to return them but I'm very unhappy with the quality of these slippers. I shop mainly at LL Bean and am happy with most purchases but once in awhile their quality really slips
