Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

Soft and comfortable, but the sole is flimsy with no support. Should have picked something else since I have tile floors.

I purchased these slippers two years ago for wear during Pennsylvania fall/winter months. With less than ten months wear during appropriate seasons, the slippers came apart at the seams. The quality does not match the investment. If you page through reviews, you will note others have had similar experience. Myself, I expected years of wear rather than just months. With the change of warranty, not my best investment. I have attached a photo.

I have owned and worn this style slipper for decades..This is my 4th pair, all have been a 9M. Yes, they last a very long time. This new pair, seems to have a narrower toe area less rounded than my old pair. This gives you less toe comfort. I will be returning to local store or giving them to my daughter. :(

I see why they changed their lifetime guarantees. I've had these slippers for only one full, maybe one and a half winters, and the stitching has completely broken. As well, the fleece pills and comes out, so the heel is down to no fleece at all.

These slippers are such a disappointment. I know we aren't suppose to compare to something we bought 25 years ago, but I can't help but be shocked by the change in quality. I don't mind that the lining is synthetic. But the lack of any support in the slipper at all is making it a sloppy shoe to walk in. The sides near the arches are completely rolling over and making my walking uncomfortable. I've only had them for a little over a month, but I can tell they aren't working for me. My husband says I look like my feet aren't sitting in them good when walking. I want my old ones back, but the deal was that I had to get rid of them when I got these!

I got my pair of Wicked Good Ladies Slippers in 2015. They are only worn in the house - never outdoors. After about 18 months the stitching has let go on the right slipper - LL Bean won't repair or replace or send replacement thread. My last pair lasted over seven years, and they replaced them when the upper leather ripped. Now with the changes in policy, even defective goods aren't replaced.

I've been planning to replace my wicked good slippers for at least a year, as they have served me well over many years. I think this was my second pair. I saw the recent unfavorable reviews and was puzzled, but ordered a pair. They feel like you are on an ice skate blade, narrow middle part, and you might twist an ankle sliding sidewise off the center. They definitely do not feel solid flat. The measurement of outside leather is the same, so something has to be different inside, out of sight. I gave them a two as the dark ones are attractive and the sheep wool feels thick. This is extremely disappointing.

I got a size 10 because that's what I wear, and it was huge, and my right foot kept slipping off of the sole. No big deal, I exchanged for a size 9. Still incredibly wide, and again, my foot kept slipping off of the right sole. I was beginning to think it was me until I logged on and read reviews about the right sole in particular. It's like it skews more towards the inner foot, which is not ideal if you actually want to walk while wearing them. The shoe itself is very wide and hangs over the soles (there is no "snug" fit, even though it's a size smaller than my normal shoe size, and I already have wide feet to begin with), and the soles are very narrow, forcing you to have to walk in such a way that your foot doesn't "roll". Also, the wool on the footbed was very clumpy....piled in some areas, bare in others. It was just subpar. The instructions did say that it would form to your natural footbed eventually, and it did get more comfortable, but I have gotten more plushness from slippers at Target than these shoes unfortunately. The shearing on the sides were heavenly and suede is butter soft and beautiful, hence the 2 stars instead of one. I will need to return these also. I would like to try other shoes from LL Bean, as this was my first purchase of anything from LL Bean, but after having to return twice (and I NEVER return stuff bc it's a hassle, but they were just too expensive), I'm a little shy. So I think I will try another company and maybe later down the line I'll give it another go.

I purchased a pair of Wicked Good Slippers when I lived in Maine in 2012. I loved them and lived in them! They were so soft, warm and comfortable and putting them on was sort of like visiting an old friend. After 6 years they began to wear down so I bought another pair. Wow! As soon as I saw them in the box, I knew they were not at all the same. They are smaller, narrower, have less fleece in them and generally feel awkward to walk in, as if they are not even. My feet actually roll when I walk and I feel like I am losing my balance. I was sadly disappointed, as I just love the "old" ones. I will be sending these back, but will remain a faithful LLBEAN customer!

I am sadly writing a poor review..didn't want to, but want to share. I was SO excited to get these slippers mailed to me. I have always loved the look of them, I've wanted them for so long. Finally I splurged and bought them, but unfortunately I will be returning them. They have very poor support, and do not fit right. My feet are not wide by any means, and my feet roll off to the sides of the slippers instead of staying on the sole. I'll be returning these for your Mocs. Hope these improve quality.

I used to have Wicked Good Slippers years ago. I ordered my usual size 9 and received them and they were to small. I sent them back and reordered them for a size 10. Well I received the new ones in size 10 and they were just too tight in the toes to be comfortable. There would be no way I could wear socks with them if I wanted to. I am thinking LL Beans stuff might be coming from China hence the smaller size items....

The shoe sizing at L.L. Bean has gotten so OFF. I am a women's size 8.5, but I ordered a size 8 slipper. It was too long and way too narrow. Even my husband's slippers were too narrow for him, but he decided to keep them and break them in. I didn't think the women's would ever please me. This is the third pair of men's or women's footwear that I have returned to Bean's because of poor fit. My advice - if you find a shoe last that works, don't change it. Bean quality and sizing used to be so dependable. Not anymore. Sigh.

The product was good but I was a little disappointed. Right after I purchased it LL Bean offered a 20% discount on the exact same slippers. It's really to bad they don't offer a price guarantee.

I bought these last year with high hopes that I would have something durable that would last several years to change my 'buy cheap slippers every year' habit. For the price, I expected them to last 5 years or so. They are already worn through the lambswool after one year and the only thing that will fix it is to spend more $$ on the liners, which I don't want to do, because it makes the cost per wear go way up. Also, I agree with the other reviewer who said the heel is wide and the toe is narrow. My heels keep slipping off the padding, so now my right foot is wearing and rubbing the wrong way on the side of the slipper. Sloppy! Also, the soles have looked so dirty after the first month. They are very warm though, and I like that they cover my ankles. I wear a size 10 and had to size down to a 9 to make these fit. These have to go back. :(

I think that Wicked Good slippers should come with the rubber outsole. Even with the slippery leather outsole, though, the footbed should be stable...but it isn't. Walking in these on hardwoods feels like walking on slippery sponges. In addition, they felt cheap, quality-wise, for the price. The style is cute and runs a bit large. I wear a 9.5 and bought a 10--I would have exchanged for a 9 if I'd liked them. Perhaps they'd work if you only wear them while sitting. I was surprised at the low quality and strange design decisions. Back they went.

After getting a year ago as a gift they are already falling apart. Won't get them again and are pricey.

I first tried a smaller size & it was too narrow. The larger size fits me, but still is too narrow in the toe area and I'd prefer to have a more solid bottom. I was trying to find a slipper like my worn out Uggs which are no longer available. These are o.k.if worn only around the house with no trips outside to get the paper, etc.

These booties are well made, but run too short. The insole is not comfortable when walking

I bought these 2 years ago (Dec 2014) and have rarely worn them because I live in the desert. We have very mild winters so I don't often need warm feet. The stitching on one slipper has pulled apart, leaving a hole on the side of the slipper. Not what I expected. I had mocassin-type slippers years ago that lasted for years, but I don't remember where I got them. I won't buy these again.

I have been wearing the Wicked Good Slippers for years, but this last pair I received is not the same slipper. The fit is different. The toes are more pointed, narrower, and longer. There is no shaping at the back of the heel, and consequently, the heel of the slipper keeps slipping off my foot. I returned them and will have to search elsewhere for slippers.

Yes, they are warm. Not the sole I wanted, because I like to cruise around in them, but a good exchange for the warmth they provide. When I first put them on, because of how they didn't fit, the span between my toe and pinkie, I thought, OK wrong foot. (It was not obvious, when you looked at, like most shoes/slippers, where a toe is prominent). So wrong when I reversed! Onward. The sole does not fit my shoe print. Length is good, but the space between the bit toe and little, has no purchase. The outsides of the top of my feet overlap the sole and I feel like I will fall. Just dug these out of the closet because it's so darn cold here. And remembered why they were parked there for so long.

The stitching on one of my slippers has worn through on one side, leaving my foot exposed. It started last spring, about six months after I received them, even though they had only been worn indoors. Originally they were a bit too tight, but now they are so loose my feet slide around in them (I normally buy an 8W in shoes). I thought these were the ultimate in slippers and I was thrilled to be getting a pair. They are beautiful and very soft, but didn't last. I will try repairing the stitching myself. Sadly I won't be buying a pair of these again.

I've had these slippers for almost three years and rarely put them on because they are just too loose. I am a size 7.5 medium and ordered a half size up - I think that was suggested - and the slippers never feel like they are firmly on my feet.

I bought a replacement pair after the stitching in the pair I had for about 12 years started to give out. One of the new ones ripped almost immediately so I sent them back for a replacement. LL Bean was very good with this. The new ones came and after wearing them for a short time I began to slip off the padding in the sole to one side on one of them. This made my ankle hurt so I couldn't wear it. I solved this by wearing one new one and one old one. Fortunately they were for the right feet! I was discouraged and threw away the ones that I couldn't use. So I now wear mismatched slippers and the one new one seems OK. Too bad they aren't as durable as the old ones!

The slipper no longer has a rubber sole so that they can be used outdoors if needed. Instead, a lace winds around the bottom to attach the slipper to a fabric base. Impractical and possibly flimsy.
