Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slippers

So sad to see a great company go so far down on quality. I used to love these slippers but the last 2 pair have not lasted a year. LL Bean what happened to your quality? Will not buy these again.

I have purchased these slippers several times in the past and had always been happy with them. However, the most recent pair is not of the same quality. The soles are thinner, the lining wore away almost immediately, the size was off by a half size, etc. If you have owned these slippers before and think that buying another pair means you are getting what you had before, think again! The quality of the materials and the workmanship are of inferior quality. So disappointing. These were my "go-to" slippers, but I will never buy them again. If I was rating the original slippers I would give them five stars. The most recent version, although by outward appearance at first glance look identical, I rate barely one star. If you are a first time buyer of this product you might be satisfied. If you are replacing slippers that you loved in the past, you will most definitely be disappointed. BUYER BEWARE!

The slippers are warm and comfortable; however, for the price, the stitching broke way too fast and I now have giant holes in the seams. My feet protrude from the holes when I use them. I continued to wear them despite the holes due to not having a store near by to take them back to nor the time to package and mail them back. They fell apart way too early for the price and what I associate with the high quality of LL Bean merchandise.

I truly loved these house slippers, I wear them only inside. I am so disappointed. The sides of these slippers at the seam now have a hole in the left and right shoe. I've purchased junk from cheap stores that have lasted longer than these.

I recently purchased a new pair of slippers to replace my previous pair, which I owned and loved for four years. My new pair arrived and immediately it was obvious that, despite increasing in price (originally $79, now $89 - NOT cheap for house slippers). The quality of materials being used now is very inferior to the previous materials. Thinner, poorly dyed, cheaper-feeling and sizing is off by about 1/2 size. Terrible disappointment, I'm returning these "new" slippers.

I saw these last year and wasn't prepared to pay this high of a price but after my feet being cold last winter I decided it would be worth it. I couldn't have been more disappointed. The left slipper stitching at the toe end made it seem like my foot went off on a curve to the left which therefore made it 'feel' funny on the inside. I packed them back up and sent them back. Normally I am very pleased with LL Bean's quality.

I've been enjoying a pair of these slippers for years and tried to replace them with another pair like them, but I was sadly disappointed. The quality of these slippers has been sacrificed (for whatever reason) and now resides at the bottom of the barrel. I will continue wearing my old ones the new ones only looked the same!

I have been wearing this exact style since I first took my mom's pair from her back I. The in the 80's and they are definitely not made with the same material, quality, or craftsmanship that they once used! I cannot express how disappointed I am! They feel so narrow in the sole. The cushioning is different. They don't come up high enough in the back or stay on. My foot slipped right out! For what they cost, the quality needs to return to what it used to be. Returning and never buying again!

My wife has had these slippers for about 1 yr...she loves them and wares them all the time in the house, never outside...the inside material has worn off leaving an imprint where her foot lines up inside the slipper...she is walking on leather and mentioned it to me the other day...disappointing they have worn out so quickly.

After a short time the shearling broke down, forcing you to walk on the leather stitching which is painful. Returned and exchange for regular brown which is not as pretty but in my experience made better

I've been wearing Wicked Good slippers for at least 15 years, since my dad bought me my first pair in high school. Early on these slippers would last several years, and I can't remember actually wearing a pair out--they'd be replaced if something was spilled, or if another pair was gifted, etc. Last year I'd had a pair for 3 years when I noticed the stitching around the side was wearing away, causing a large hole where the sole met the body of the slipper. The shearling on the inside had also been worn away significantly, causing them to fit loosely. Since other pairs had lasted much longer without these issues, I sent them in to see if L.L. Bean would exchange them as defective. I was told the issues were due to normal wear and tear and not eligible for an exchange, so I purchased a new pair still thinking 3 years was a decent run for slippers. Then just recently I noticed my newest pair had the same issues with the lacing, and again the shearling was significantly worn, this time after only ONE YEAR. For the price of these slippers, not to mention the previous quality I'd come to expect, I assumed these must be defective. Again I was told this was normal wear and tear, only this time I was informed it was my feet that were too wide for the slipper which was causing the lacing issues. I do have wide feet, and am willing to accept that this may be the case, however it doesn't explain why all of my other pairs have lasted *so* much longer than these! None of my other footwear fits differently, so my feet haven't changed, and I also haven't changed how/when I wear the slippers. I'm extremely disappointed in the diminished quality of these slippers, and also the lack of support from the company as they refuse to address these issues and stand by their product. Having been a longtime devotee, it's unfortunate I'll no longer be able to purchase any slippers from L.L. Bean any longer due to a lack of trust in their quality and customer service.

I love llbean. I have had great success with anything produced in the USA unfortunately, this american flagship company has begun selling Chinese made products that have reduced the quality standard tremendously. I also bought a pair of slip on "bean boots" that fell apart within a year. It is not clear to me if a product is Chinese made or America. The wicked good slippers are fantastic until they fall apart. This unfortunate shift to offshore product has severely damaged beans stellar reputation. I will most likely abandon this company altogether. Buyer beware. Ask the question "are these made in America" because a "no" answer will result in limited use as the product does not live up to acceptable life standards.

These are cozy and warm as described. However, there is less padding under the toes than under the rest of the foot. I can feel the floor under my toes. It's annoying. I'm returning them.

These were not my first LL Bean slippers. I have had great luck in the past. But, at one year old, these are headed for the trash. Inside and outside problems; seams apart, inner loft totally worn down. I have the expectation that $100 slippers should be at least a 5-year investment.

First pair was very good and lasted a long time. Next two pairs were awful. They rotated on your feet, so that instead of walking on the soles, you end up walking on the outside edge of the slippers. Extremely poor construction.

I have been obsessed with these slippers for years. I buy them as gifts & this my 4th pair. But this new pair are not as comfortable. There is a change in the cushion & the fleece inside piles at the ball of my foot. I have never had this experience with these slipper before. I am heartbroken, I loved these for years but sadly I will not purchase them again or purchase as gifts because the quality is no longer worth the price.

For all the hype, I was sorely disappointed. Despite the 25% off, these were not worth the money. I normally wear a size 6 sandal, 7 running shoe. Size 6 was tiny and actually hurt my feet, despite the soft material. In addition, the tag on the inside was very uncomfortable. The booty felt unstable and slipped up and down while walking, despite the tightness. Just terrible. Returned.

As others here have indicated, these slippers contain poor quality materials. The fur becomes matted down very quickly and the stitching came apart through normal use less than 2 years after purchase. Customer service refused to issue any store credit and actually blamed the user of the slippers for walking incorrectly in them. Buyer beware.

The worst slipper I ever bought. I bought this because my feet need a good support due to operation. My feet kept sliding to the sides with absolutely NO support at all. I kept on bringing my feet into the center, only to have them fall out to the sides again. ABSOLUTELY no support at all. Do not recommend this slipper at all.

No sole or arch support. I would have gotten a different pair with a sole. Disappointed. I wish that they were half sizes. They are warm though.

I want everyone to know this is NOT a bad review. I did one star to get peoples' attention. I love my Wicked Good Slippers! They are warm, comfortable, and long lasting. This is a warning to people who have tile or wood floors and no carpeting. A few years ago I purchased the slippers without a sole like the ones pictured here, more of a moccasin look. They were fine for a while, but eventually the fuzzy, suede-like, bottom wears off to become a soft sole. I have found that if you don't have carpet and have tile or wood floors these slippers are very, very, slippy. I fell and broke my hip a few years ago (not due to these slippers) and cracked a hip a few months ago (again not due to the slippers), but these accidents have made me more aware of dangerous things. If you have floors that are wood or tile, I would suggest getting the slippers that have a real sole on them. I think that would be a much safer route, especially for older people who are not as steady on their feet. I have slipped a number of times, but this morning I almost fell when I stood up. My feet literally slid out from under me. If you have them, please be careful. If you don't you might consider the ones with a sole.

Sorry to say, but L.L. Bean your quality has gone downhill. I have been wearing the Wicked Good slipper since the 1980's and they used to last more than 10 years before wearing out. This latest pair is literally falling apart after only 3 winter seasons of indoor wear. The stitching has come apart on both slippers. $90 slippers should not fall apart after 3 seasons. What bothers me is that the suede and the shearling is still in great shape! These slippers still have a lot of wear left in them! I don't know if Bean changed the type of thread used to sew them together (I feel like back in the day it used to be leather??) but it wears out long before the rest of the slipper. And to top it off, they say they do not make repairs on slippers and will not replace them, saying that since they are falling apart it must be excessive wear. Ridiculous. I am attaching photos to show the problem but also to show that the slippers are still in good condition and have not experienced "excessive wear". I will not buy these slippers ever again.

I loved these slippers at first but they don't last. The stitching around the sole comes undone very easily when that lacing breaks. I had a pair of these before and they only lasted a few years because the stitching coming undone. LLBean used to honor their return policy if you were not satisfied with the workmanship so they did replace them for me, no problem. I bought many more of these for family and we all started having the same problem with the stitching, but now within a year or two. For almost $90 these slippers should last more than two years. I never wore them outside. Only inside. This last pair I sent back to LLBean when the stitching came undone and they refused to replace them. They said it was because of the way they were worn out, not a problem with the stitching. I am including a picture of my slipper to show you how they were in fine condition everywhere EXCEPT for the faulty stitching. Do not get these. They are not made the same anymore and LLBean does not honor their guarantee like they used to.

Had an old pair that lasted for years until the laces broke, so I bought a new pair. The new pair had one slipper which continuously twisted on my foot, but continued to wear because my feet are always so cold. Finally the laces have broken on that slipper after a few months. Will not replace with a new pair.

I bought these slippers for my sister-in-law, who loved mine. Mine were purchased from LL Bean two years ago and are OK -- not the best-constructed of the best materials, but better than no slippers at all. The ones she received, on the other hand, smelled so badly of poorly-cured leather that she sent them back immediately. And while the replacement pair didn't smell as bad, the arch in one of them was up by the toes (not where an arch belongs). Apparently, quality has slipped on the slippers - and we've been promised a refund, so I can't say that we've been fleeced. But I can say that my sister-in-law is now very content with the slippers she got from a different company. I've always had great faith in Bean products, so this has been a great disappointment to me -- and the repeated failure to provide a high-quality product in this instance makes me wary of ever ordering anything again.
