Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

I have had these slippers for a bit over a year now and the laces ripped apart near the sole on the left side, leaving a big gaping hole. Quality is poor, nowhere near worth $70 or $80. I will not buy these again, nor would I recommend to anyone else. I've only worn them for a few months in the winter - barely lasted this long.

I tried to love these slippers because they are my daughters favorite, but my toes could never get warm because the toe of the slipper was so "pointy" at the end. I had ordered them a size larger than I usually wear, but they taper toward the toes which leaves no room for them to spread out. Consequently, my toes stayed cold and never warmed up!! Why not have a larger toe box?! Especially in a slipper! I would rather have warm toes than a "sleek" looking slipper!

I've been purchasing a new pair of these slippers about every 5 years for nearly 20 years (wow, can't believe it has been this long!). There's only one reason for this -- they are the most comfortable slippers ever, without exception! I just received a new pair as a gift, and discovered that the price has nearly doubled, but the quality has not. They're still comfy, but not twice as comfy, and not as comfy as they used to be. It seems as if they are using a different type of shearling, and not as soft. For this reason, sadly, this might be the end of the reign of the Wicked Good Slipper in our household. And I'm very sad about this indeed!

I was somewhat disappointed when I received the slippers. The quality does not look as good as the pictures. They are made in China, they don't look like real leather and the fur pulls/falls out very easily. Especially when you try to pull them on your feet. There is no arch support whatsoever. So I would not recommend them if you require this type of support or if your foot has a tendancy to collapse inward at the arch. I was really expecting more for the high cost of these slippers. On a positive note, they are very warm. I am still debating whether or not to return them. I am not sure if I will get back the $25 customs and duties I had to pay on top of the price as I am a Canadian customer.

I have recently retired my wonderful old Bean slippers after over 20 years of service. I loved them and wanted to replace them with the exact same slipper. What appeared to be the same style slipper is actually a new style that is supposed to mold exactly to your feet. I have only had the slippers for a few weeks, but even though the slippers look the same and are made of the same high quality materials as my old slippers, my feet feel "bound-up" in them. I have sent very few things back to Bean's in my many years as a shopper, but I may have to send these back.

These slippers are warm but the fur inside wads up and makes for an uneven walking surface. It feels like your sock is wading up in your shoe. It helps to put in a thin insole. Don't think I will get these again.

Unfortunately I ended up returning these slippers. I have the scuffs from LLBean and they are way more cushioned on the footbed than these. I had wanted a bit more coverage when it was colder and something that didn't slide off my feet when walking quickly but these slippers had little cushion on the sole and even with a sorbothane insert I didn't care for them. Seemed flimsy in construction. Usually extremely pleased with all LLBean products, but not so much these slippers. We also have the men's slippers, 2 pair and they are EXCELLENT along with the scuffs as mentioned previously that I would definitely recommend to anyone.

I did love these slippers when I first got them. They were soft, warm and cozy. BUT, after wearing them for a couple of months, the shearling lamb fur wears off of the bottom of the slipper and leaves just cold leather, so that my feet are freezing all the time. I thought that for the price, these wouldn't do that, so I've very disappointed because I like the look and style of these slippers. But I now have to wear socks when I wear these slippers and my feet are still cold. Wish there was some way the shearling wouldn't wear off, but it does. So beware when you buy them, they will be great for a few months, but after you wear them for a while they wear away. :-(

I bought these to replace an exhisting pair of sheepskin slippers.I was very dissapointed when I tried them on.Great sole on the outside but did not have an even surface on the inside.Made you feel uneven.Very dissapointed on the shearling lining.Was 2/3 thinner than my old pair(from New Zealand).Felt vey inferrior.Not a good value for the $$$.Product fell short on my expectations.Won't waste time on this again.Truly dissapointed.

Women's Wicked Good Slippers - When I first pulled the slippers from the box, I thought the leather was not the quality that the price commands. I looked into the slipper & saw that the "shearling" pile was a bit too sparse; slipped my foot into it and the foot-bed pile was bunching-up & not very comfortable, but I do love the cush of the foot-bed though. This quality is more in the $29.99 range, certainly not the $70.+ I like that the shaft, if I can call it that, is not too high around my ankle; that they are not too tight, and most all, they are very warm. A couple of years ago I had purchased the scuffs; their leather is very durable,( still holding up) coarse & super strong; the shearling pile luxuriously full & robust & very comfortable...I had been wearing them year-'round :) - was waiting to purchase a different style & pair, just right for New England winters, and we've had cold temps already. I just expected a lot more bang for m' buck. This disappointment, would not however, stop me from making another slipper purchase. I have so very pleased being a Bean customer for 20 some odd years! Stay warm, my friends :)

The slippers are not comfortable. They are not uncomfortable. However, compared to other slippers in their same category, they do not provide any support. A disappointment.

I bought these slippers because I loved my previous pair (Wicked Good Moccasins) and thought these might be a step-up. I returned them, and here's why: Pros: - Very warm - More foot coverage than the moccasins - No frills, no laces to come untied - Lining is very thick Cons: - Runs very narrow. My foot was spilling over the sole when I tried it on - Sole was uneven, causing me to rock back & forth when I tried them on (similar to a MBT shoe) - Lining was itchy! I'm not sure if I got a bad pair, but I returned them. Back to the moccasins for me.

I ordered these slippers in size 5, my normal size, but they were too tight. They had not taken into account all that fluff that is inside the slipper. Then I ordered size 6. The size was OK, but the left shoe was cut and sewn in a crooked way, and pushed the foot to the side. I had ordered another similar pair of slippers, also and returned those as well, because of a similar issue. Quite a disappointment. Had to return the slippers for the second time. There should be some sort of quality control.

The first pair I purchased was defective as sewing on the sole of the right slipper was off balance, thereby causing my foot to turn. I returned them for an another pair, and this time the sewing on the left sole was off. Looking at the slipper from the top you could see that the sole was not in line with the slipper. I am, however, extremely impressed with LL Bean's handing of both situations, their speedy exchange and eventual refund. I would definitely purchase other items.

cannot wear sox with this slipper as opening at top is too narrow

When I put these slippers on the slippers' sole slanted to the outside although my foot and ankle were at a normal perpendicular. It felt like the sole was thicker from the large toes to the heel.

I have loved these slippers for many years,. I ordered my third pair b/c the padding on the bottom has flattened out. Much to my dismay, the new pair I got has far less padding then my old ones (that I consider to be worn out). Either LL Bean changed the design and cut back or this is a poorly made pair. Not sure what to do, but I would no longer recommend these slippers. They are actually uncomfortable

My husband and I have been lovers of this slipper for many years. We both work from home and wear them all winter. They last forever but we usually order a new pair every 4 or 5 years because they can't be washed and after so much wear...well...enough said. We just received our new slippers today and we are soooo disappointed to find that after all these years of consistency from LL Bean, this time the design has changed. The sole is not as firm, the materials are flimsier, the fit is different and overall they are not nearly as comfortable as the old design. If you are a newcomer to this slipper you may love them, but if you are looking to replace an old tried-and-true favorite, beware. I was just about to replace a 7 year old pair of Bluchers and now I fear the same may have happened to that long standing favorite, too...

I have worn LL Bean WIcked Good Slippers for years. I was due for a new pair and rec'd a pair for Christmas. I was dismayed to find that the old style that I had worn for years is no longer available. I believe the new style was available for men in the past. I don't like the new ones nearly as well as the old style. Please consider bringing back the old ones that have the closed seam all the way up the front of the slipper. My old ones lack the leather triangle on the top.

After many years of satisfactory purchases, quality control on these slippers was very disappointing. The right one is noticeably larger than the left and is a sloppy fit. The "fur" comes out in clumps. I expected them to provide more sole support (firmer), but I guess this style isn't designed for that. Almost sent them back, but they were a good buy & are kind of cozy if you're not walking around the house much. But I don't expect them to hold up as well as I would have thought for LLB.

Purchased these slippers for my Mom and she was disappointed in quality. She said left slipper had less sheep skin and not much at the heel. Toe on right slipper was turned up like an elf shoe.

i was so looking forward to these slippers but when i received them they were much too narrow. ll bean, please consider a wide fit option for your slippers. i'll be returning them, not because of quality but fit. too bad i can't oder a pair that fits.

I loved my old slippers - I've had two pair! - and I thought I'd just be replacing them, but this new model is a big disappointment to the classics I had before. I don't like how they look (no stripe), how they feel (too thick) or how they wear (awkward). Very disappointed in a product I've loved for years.

I bought these to replace my old wicked good slippers and was disappointed that the style had changed. There is no cut away down the front on my old pair so they do not allow cold air to reach any part of my ankle, hence warmer. I don't know when or why the styling changed, but it wasn't an improvement. Please bring back the old style.

The materials were very nice and soft and looked great. However, the soles are very rounded; you feel like you're rocking side-to-side when walking. Also, the left slipper had the front toe area kind of twisting around the foot, which was uncomfortable and felt unsteady when walking. As a result, this pair was sent back to LL Bean yesterday. Based on all the other great reviews, maybe this pair was just the result of someone in the factory having a "bad day".
