Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

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".

I have been using the "wicked good" boot type slipper for over 30 years. For some reason, the style has changed. Instead of a dip in the side of the boot, it is high across - not as comfortable. I found that the sole was not as thick as in the past and the quality of the shearling not as dense. I was very disappointed with the drop in quality and returned the slippers. This is the first time I have ever been disappointed in any product I have purchased from L.L. Bean.

I was disappointed with these slippers. I was replacing a pair of the same slipper that I had for years. It looked like they used the absolute minimum material to make the new ones. The sole has very little fleece and they are no way as comfortable as the old ones were. I never thought LLBean would skimp on one of their most popular items. Long time customer. Over 50 years.

I like the outward design of these slippers, but I am disappointed in how narrow the sole is. My foot literally falls off the bottom inside sole and sprawls into and up the side of the slippers. That makes them awkward to walk in and a little uncomfortable. It's unfortunate as I really like how they wrap around my foot keeping my heel and ankles warm.

I don't usually write reviews, but felt compelled to express my disappointment with a usually solid and well built product. I've been buying these slippers for many, many year; in fact, my entire family of 5 wear them. I wear them so much during the winter that I'm used to blasting thru the laces around the toes by the end of the season. They're so very snuggly and comfortable and keep my feet warm. This year, however, there was a hole after just 4 hours!!! I've returned them and requested another pair in the hopes this was a small production "oops", but having to go another couple of weeks with cold toes is not only disappointing, but not what I've come to expect from LLBean over the 25 years I've been a customer.

I have been wearing these slippers for years. My old ones (my 3rd pair) are worn out and it was time to replace them. Was disappointed to find the style changed but ordered them anyway. When they arrived, the size does not run the same as the original, the slipper falls lower on the anke and the cutout in the front makes it seem even lower. They run smaller so the size 9 I have always worn did not fit in length or width. Much prefered the old ones. Returned these the day after they arrived. If you are a lover of the old originals...pass on these. Nothing like them with the exception of the fuzzy inside. Very disappointed.

I am disappointed about the thin fleece and there are visible bald spots. I was hoping it was as good as described by other reviewer. I am disappointed at the quality of the material.

I usually like LL Bean products and had so much confidence in these slippers that I had been waiting since December (it is now April) for them to arrive. Once they did, I was very disappointed. First, there was a spot of a hard-tacky substance on the shearling inside of the slipper that was hard and very scratchy. Second, the fit of the slippers forced my foot to walk on the outside seam of the sole, which was awkward and uncomfortable. Finally the slippers were much thinner than comparable slippers I had had in the past. Overall, these slippers were not comfortable and did not appear to meet a standard of quality that you would expect for $50 or from LL Bean. I returned them this morning.

I have a pair of WG slippers I purchased about 3 or 4 years ago. I completely wore them out, and ordered these as a replacement. Unfortunately, the quality is not the same! When comparing the 2 slippers, my older ones were softer, more "real" shearling, the new ones were synthetic and cheesy. I just could not keep them, I sent them back. I am on the hunt for the "original" wicked good slippers. Hopefully LL Bean can find them, and bring them back for me!! I gave them 2 stars, because I guess they would beat a blank, but that's about it!

I have been buying Bean's Wicked Good Slippers for over 18 years. I have an old pair that will make through the end of this winter and wanted to replace them for next winter. Very dissappointed in the quality, slight changes in style and small fit. These high slippers did not cover my ankle, felt smaller despite same size and just not as plush as my old ones. I will wait until next winter to purchase a new pair. Hoefully, the old styling and quality of shearling will return!

These slippers look great and are nice and warm but I had to return them since my ankles were sore after wearing them around the house for only a few minutes. I have bad ankles but was surprised by this. I guess the soles are not as solid as my feet want them to be.

I love LL Bean, but I didn't find these slippers very warm or comfortable. The fur inside is on the scratchy side. I had to wear socks with the slippers until I got used to it. I have cold feet and was really looking for a pair of slippers to keep my feet warm. These don't do the job.

I do have wide feet but usually slippers will work in medium width. After wearing these for over a week they are still not very comfortable. They are warm and cozy but I doubt I will be able to wear them much.

These are not as wicked good as advertised. The right slipper lining bunches up under my toes and is very uncomfortable. The left slipper is fine. They are very warm, but I can't wear them because the right one makes my foot hurt, it is very annoying. I have problems with my feet as it is, I don't need footwear that enhances the problem.

I'm returning this - disappointed that you are no longer carrying the slipper I've been ordering every few years for MANY MANY years. This one is too open at the top of the ankle, letting cold air in (the other slipper is closed and like a little boot), and too pointy at the toe. I think you used to carry both of these styles, please bring back the other one.

stitching split on back seam within 2 weeks of infrequent wear. product is very nice, comfortable and warm, but stitching is too tight and cuts through the material increasing probability of early deterioration. Of course LLBean immediatly provided a replacement, which has (less than 1 week) not started to split.

I've worn these sheepskin slippers for decades, and expected the same great sturdy quality. The soles are OK, but the entire upper is so flimsy that my foot slides off the footbed of the slipper because the upper offers no resistance or sturdiness. It's way too soft and flimsy. I returned them.
