Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

9's were too loose, 8's were too tight. But what i missed most was the old heavier outer shell that offered support to ankles. Also the opening was narrower and harder to slip them on without them falling inward in the back and staying that way.

These slippers felt odd from the get-go. My feet felt sweaty and it felt like I was walking on a rubbery pillow. I imagine it probably has memory foam in it. It's a shame to ruin an authentic leather and wool slipper with synthetic non-biodegradable materials.

The slippers are to wide and my wife walks on side of slipper. Because they are to wide. She has size 7 not happy with them. But we are trying to live with them. Sorry .

I received my first pair of WG slippers back when I was a teenager and wore them until they fell apart. Had a few more pairs in the intervening years and loved them. This past Christmas, my husband offered to buy me a new pair and I couldn't wait to get them. They were back-ordered until mid-January, but I didn't really mind because I love these slippers so much. Alas, they don't make 'em like they used to. While the overall condition of the slippers was fine. As soon as I put them on, I could tell that the sole of the right slipper was misaligned with the upper portion. I took about ten steps down the hallway and could feel my right foot slipping over the outside edge of the sole and I could feel the strain in the muscles of my lower leg. Felt like if I wore them for much longer (or while walking quickly) I might strain my ankle. (And, no, it's not a weight issue, I'm the same weight I've been for years.) Left one was fine, but I still had to return them. I was so disappointed! I was really looking forward to my new slippers (current ones are over 10 years old and falling apart), but now I think they are just not made with the care that LL Bean has always been known for in the past and I will have to find some other brand. ;(

I ordered these the first of November, after reading numerous glowing reviews. I have worn them frequently to give them a fair chance - I should give them a 2.5, because one slipper is comfortable and the other could not be more uncomfortable. The shearling lining inside the right slipper feels bunched up where the toes and foot meet. I thought it would eventually conform to the shape of my foot like the left slipper did. I wanted these to be the slipper I lived in around the house all winter. Instead, I am constantly taking the right one off and trying to smooth the inside. It is so uncomfortable that I often resort to taking these nice expensive slippers off and dragging out my old cheapie slippers. I don't like them either, but, at least, they are not uncomfortable like the Wicked Good Slippers, which for me are "Wicked Bad". I really wanted to love these slippers because I want to like everything LL Bean does. I have read the glowing reviews again and wonder if I just got a dud!

I had a pair of these slippers that lasted 4 yrs. I was thrilled with them. I purchased a new pair and after 4 months the stitching tore and the slippers came apart. I don't have a receipt thinking I would never need it. Maybe I got a defective pair but I was really upset.

I had wanted to try these for a long time but was hesitant to spend that much for a pair of slippers. I finally decided to go for it and was excited to get them but they were too narrow and felt stiff instead of the softness I anticipated. I decided to return them rather than wait to see if they would "break in". I also would have preferred rubber soles and a foot bed of memory foam.

I've worn these slippers for 20+ years, but have noticed the quality deteriorate over time. I bought them last week and returned them after 3 days. The fleece inside is thin and breaks down quickly. There is very little support. Very disappointing. I refuse to pay this high price for an inferior product. I did find a fleece slipper with another company and am thrilled with the quality.

Very nice, warm and well made with the exception of the foot bed. The lining on the foot bed of one of my slippers has bunched up to inside of my foot. Most of the time I am walking on the outside edge of my foot. Not very comfortable. I have tried smoothing it out but does not help. For the price I would expect better. Will not prevent me from buying LL Bean in the future.

With 2216 reviews already written it will be surprising if my review is read by anybody hanging in there long enough to read it but here I go adding mine to the mix. I live in the NE USA where it can get really cold and is pretty much slipper weather much of the year. For size info-I have a small frame & normally wear a size 8.5 med in shoes and go up to a 9 in boots. I tried these slippers on and decided on a size 9 due to my high instep during a visit to the Freeport store but couldn't bite as I had trouble convincing myself to pay the higher price for "slippers" even though I had wanted them for years. After spending money over the years on "disposable" inexpensive ones, my husband surprised me at Christmas. Yes, I was thrilled to get slippers, especially Wicked Good ones! I was so happy...for about one month of near constant wear when home, with and without socks. At that time the shearling in the heal area was worn right to the sheepskin. They were oh so warm so I kept wearing even when a heel tab later pulled out. I figured, perhaps, they were meant to be more decorative then used for helping to pull on the originally snug then ever-expanding slipper. Still, 9 was the right size and I knew they would stretch. My feet were kept warm until two months later, still in Old Man Winter's grip, the entire seam ripped apart between footbed and upper shell of slipper. I held on to them thinking surely LLBean wouldn't replace worn, albeit way less than a year old, slippers. Then I met a woman who had same slippers for "years" and was disappointed in how they had stretched out but still returned and was sent a new pair! So I took a chance and returned my relatively new slippers and received a replacement pair! I was over the moon...for one week in which the seam in new pair split entirely again! This time I returned them, explaining the issue and asked for a refund. I was sent a card for merchandise credit. That's fine. We have been adult lifetime shoppers with LLBean of a variety of their merchandise both via online and in Freeport, ME. We never had to be concerned with quality because it was a given but I am dismayed at reading more and more reviews of products not living up to the LLBean reputation we've come to expect. As the merchandise card sits on my desk for a few months now, I'm looking at the other slippers, reading the mixed reviews and becoming more and more skeptical to try a different replacement (sadly not taking a chance on this style again) before cold sets in but I've got cold feet... I'm giving two stars on this particular item. One is because I can't argue at all with the warmth and comfort the Wicked Good slippers provided. The second star is for the quality of LLBean's customer service and the products we've enjoyed over the years. I can't bring myself to give more on this product experience because I'm slipper less and Old Man Winter is knocking at my door.

I wish that LLBean made this in a size to fit me. It only comes in full sizes and nothing for narrow feet. If you have wide feet and don't wear a half-size this is for you, otherwise it won't fit. I wear a 7.5 and the 7 is too short and the 8 is too long. Both are too wide.

Was very much looking forward to these slippers....unfortunately, had to send them back. Way too small and narrow, despite the fact that I ordered a half size up from my usual 6 1/2. Quality seemed decent enough, but there was a strong smell of turpentine when I opened the box that was a bit unpleasant. And didn't like the feel of that little gap at the top of the slipper-- seemed like it would get a bit drafty. Usually very happy with LL Bean products, just not this one. :-(

Wicked Good used to mean more in Bean's slippers. These are not the quality I expected. American-made is what I am accustomed to and still look forward to.

the padding is deep and lush but unfortunately, if you pronate badly this will be a problem as the padding on the sole ends before the edges of the shoes, so you will wobble. perhaps with wear this would have corrected, as the padding mashed down, but i wasn't willing to take the chance. also, i was disappointed that the shoe wasn't taller--that it didn't provide another inch or so more of covering for the ankle, as the entire reason i got these slippers was to have ankle protection. it's a beautiful slipper, obviously good quality materials, just not engineered for me--the things that probably make it good for most made it unworkable for me.

I Absolutely have LOVED these slippers for YEARS and Years!!! Every time they wear out I stitch a seam and keep wearing them until they are no longer wearable. My last pair was a Women's 9 and by the time I retired them, they were falling off me. My shoe size is Women's between 8 and 8-1/2 so I ordered the size 9; same as last time. These are So TIGHT I can't believe it. I've read the reviews where people say they ordered the 1/2 size up and they fit perfectly. Only thing I can figure is that these slippers are mis-marked and are really a size 8????

I had to order a size up as my usual size was way too small. the opening is very narrow, couldn't get into, also the soles soak up water. would prefer a weather proof sole to be able to go out on deck or steps outside. definitely indoor use only. I prefer a wider boot type slipper. OK if you have narrower feet and just want warmth.

I have medium width, 8 1/2 sized feet. I wanted a pair of cozy, sheepskin/leather slippers so ordered the chocolate Wicked Good Slippers. I ordered a size 8 and a size 9 to try out. When I received them, the first thing I noticed was how thin the leather was and much of the stitching on the seams was crooked. The 8's were definitely too small, so I wore the 9's around over the weekend. They were much too large for my feet. The lining also started to drop tufts when putting them on and taking them off. I returned both pairs immediately. I would think for the price that the leather would have been a thicker mm too. Was very disappointed. Is it too much to ask for good quality half sizes?

Very disappointed in the wicked good slippers. I've had a few pairs of these slippers over the years and the pair I got last year did not hold up. They have changed and not for the better.They used to be fluffy, comfy and much better quality. I will not buy them again , not worth the money.

I just wasn't happy with these slippers. I followed their directions and ordered "up" for the 1/2 size and they were just WAY too large. Too wide, too long. There was a tag inside that scratchy, the shearling was thin and spotty and they just didn't look like the high quality that I'm used to from LL Bean. They went straight back and I've ordered the moccasins instead. Hopefully, they will be much more what I'm looking for and an excellent replacement for my worn-out Uggs.

This is my fourth pair of Wicked Good slippers, and it's getting returned. These felt very narrow and tight. My toes were cramped, even though I had to order up a half size, and my foot kept slipping off the side of the footbed. The suede seems thinner and the lining less dense than previous pairs; I don't think these would last like my old ones did. Because I loved my old slippers, I was willing to pay the new, much higher price, but I'm getting my money back. The new slippers aren't worth it.

I really wanted to love these slippers! Normally wear a 7.5 in shoes, so ordered size 8. They were a little loose when I first tried them on, but the main problem is that the footbed seems very narrow, my feet kept slipping off the footbed and I felt like I was walking on the sides of my feet. In my opinion, my feet are average width, I never buy extra wide width shoes. 79$ is a lot of money for slippers, I think, and if they cost that much, they should fit perfectly. I will be sending these back to try the 7's, hopefully they fit better.

Slipper looks beautiful. However, the soles are also suede with a nap. Every bit of dirt/kitty litter etc. sticks to the soles. I have clean floors, but in the morning there is some tracking of kitty litter and some dirt in laundry room. Slippers pick up every bit and I have to constantly clean the bottoms. Otherwise, they will scratch my wood floors. A really BAD choice for slipper soles, unless you plan to only wear them in the bed or bath rooms. The size runs small so for half sizes, go up to next size as recommended. My shoe size is 8 1/2 so got the 9. I think a 9 may be too tight for a size 9 person. For $80, don't you think they should come in half sizes? The inside of slipper fur is not very soft. It is a bit rough and scratchy. If it is real fur, I guess I would rather have synthetic.

My first pair was fantastic and lasted for years. The dark brown was lovely and the sheepskin was soft and thick. I ordered a second pair and then a replacement pair and they both felt thin and scratchy. Sadly, I am returning them. I contacted customer service about the quality issue.

The sides of the slippers and around the heel/ankle are flimsy. No way to slip your foot into the shoe even to then pull the heel up. It's a sit-down-and-put-it-on shoe. The fleece lining was not sewn in the same on right and left shoes. More fleece showed and helped cover the left foot than the right. There was a plastic tag sewn into the inside toe seam of the right shoe, and I could not get it out. I could feel it when I had the shoe on. The bottom of each slipper had stains. The stains wouldn't have bothered me if there were not other unacceptable quality issues. Very disappointed in the quality of the slippers from L.L. Bean. L.L. Bean handled the return well. I won't reorder this shoe though.

No support at the bottoms, comfortable but if you have foot problems, try another EB shoe.
