I ordered up a half-size, as recommended. But I can barely get these on over socks (and it makes no sense to me to wear slippers without socks in the middle of the winter). As a result of how tight the slippers are, they're just not comfortable. I know the package insert says that they'll stretch and conform to my feet, but I just can't take the chance (or the discomfort I'd experience in the interim). These are going back.

Heel rolls out as soon as you put them on. Unsafe to wear. Not the same ones I have been buying for 30 years! Time to change to Duluth Trading Co.

These are just awful. Too small. Too narrow. what did you do to these? They used to be perfect. These lack support, are wayyyyyyyyy too small and narrow. Feet roll,off sides of soles. Floppy yet too small. Not like the ones from 10 years ago at all. Avoid at all costs.

I happily wore my first pair of these slippers for many years and then decided to retire them and treat myself to a new pair. What a disappointment! They immediately wore down in such a way as to cause my foot to slide towards the outside edge and I cannot correct it. It is uncomfortable and dangerous. The padding is thicker on the inside of the heel than the outside and forces your foot to roll over in an unnatural way. I cringed putting them into the garbage can this morning as I know how expensive they were. Now, from looking at other reviews, I see that I am not alone in having this problem.

I've worn these for years and loved them. The pair I ordered this year are half the thickness of the old ones. So cheap. And the shearling in the footbed never seems to conform the way it should, making my foot slide around and making it dangerous to walk. I can only use them when I'm sitting and want my feet to stay warm. Not exactly what shoes are for. Will not buy these again.

I ordered 2 pairs of these slippers in anticipation that they would be good slippers based on the "high" price. Well, I should have heeded the other reviews. The materials are good, it's the wokmanship. The slippers have absolutely no structure. Your foot just rolls around in them. They are so wide as to be bulky. Very disappointed in these slippers and will be returning them ASAP. I'd compare the fit and structure to a cheap pair from "you know who", fits about the same. Don't waste your money. I also ordered a pair of the all leather slippers for my husband. I feel sure he will not like them. The sole is slick. Each year I have ordered from LL Bean, but the quality of workmanship is low grade now. So sorry we can't get good products anylonger.

I have worn these LL Bean slippers for decades. I most recently bought a pair less than 2 years ago. They fit well for the first month, but then the lining compressed so much that my feet slide around awkwardly inside. The lining completely wore away in several spots in less than a year. This is the second time I have been dissatisfied with the quality of this slipper and I am not going to buy them again.

I have purchased these slippers several times over the past 20 years, and I'm so disappointed! I used to love these slippers. These feel like I'm walking on cardboard. The shearling feels half as thick as it used to, the ankle is wide and the toe area is narrow -- and I have a narrow foot! What a waste of money! Won't buy these again!

This is my 3rd pair of these slippers. The quality from 5 years ago has diminished. The pair I bought this year is totally worn out after 6 months. They seem to be made for 2 left feet. I'm walking on the side of the slipper and the seam of the foot pad is down the middle of my foot. My toes are squished to the outside of the front of the shoe. Very sad. I still have the pair from 3 years ago and wear them outside. This is the last pair I will ever buy.

the bottom of these slippers are uneven, or the padding inside is uneven, making my foot slant when i put them on and making it very uncomfortable. not worth the money. should have returned them when i was thinking about it... almost 100 dollars, a huge waste of money

Toe was too narrow, and too long. The heel was shapeless and it kept falling off. My wife has had exactly these slippers in the past and loved them, but they are not being made the same.
On a side note, I have a pair of Bean slippers that are less than a year old, and the fleece is already wearing out. Slippers in the past have lasted much better.
All in all, it seems like the quality of these iconic items has slipped seriously.

I ordered a size bigger as product description suggested. They were way too big, not even close. I ordered a second pain in a smaller size. I was sent a new pair in the same size that was too big after waiting a long time for a back order. Returned them and am still waiting for a pair the right size after another back order. This is not the LL Bean that I am used to. In the past it was easy to order the right size and I always received what I ordered.

I was a fan of Emu slippers for years until my last pair fell apart. This year I told my husband to pick out something for me high quality and I would like. He chose Acorn but unfortunately the wrong size. My best friend has been raving about her and her husband's LL Bean Wicked Good Slippers so I decided to go the LL Bean route. Chose the moccasins first and the heel kept lifting out so I am sending them back but also purchased the Wicked Good Slippers asap since I look forward to my slippers every day working from home. Well they came and I fell in love with the feel immediately, but something was off. My right foot kept falling off the sewn in platform in the slipper. It was uncomfortable and annoying. Then I felt around and the grid shaped wire under the bottom of the slipper's lining is making an appearance in a few places. I started looking at reviews confused because of the high ratings and noticed a trend... I'm going to now have to mail back two pair of slippers and decide on what to get next. All while nothing comfy on my feet :(

I have loved these slippers and had seven pair over the years. The recent ones I purchased however were NOT the old standard The fleece was cheap and the lining of the foot did not go throughout the slippers. The right one is so uneven I now have a sore ankle ( I have always worn these in the house when I take off my shoes at the door. I have relatively narrow feet. I can't imagine anyone with a wider foot would be comfortable. After wearing them for two weeks the inner fleece is lumping up and feels like a lumpy sock in a shoe. I think these must be made in China. Please go back to your previous manufacturer.

I bought these in the store so I could be sure of the size. Good thing I did because they are going right back!
They squeak every time I take a step. Tried wearing them for a few days but the squeaking is very loud and is not getting better. My husband can't stand the constant squeaking either. Terrible on wood or vinyl, a little less noisy on tile. Too bad because they look and feel great.

These were once GREAT slippers. I have a pair from a couple of years back. I decided to purchase another pair, and I am completely dissatisfied with the most recent pair.
The older pair is made of firmer quality leather, thus is a great support for holding the shape of the boot and the firm fit on my foot and around my ankles.
The newer pair is made is a thinner & much more supple quality of leather that is WAY too loose of a hold on the foot and leaves me just basically wearing a footbed with no booted support on the foot or ankles.
I don't understand why L.L. Bean keeps messing with a good thing in their tried and true products.
I am unfathomably aggravated with this. Get your former product supplier in this, L.L. Bean - for THESE booted slippers are not worth the box you ship them in. (But I still love you dearly as a company.)

We have ordered and received this item twice (chocolate brown). Both shipments smell so bad that they had to be returned (the second one will be returned shortly). The smell is of the dye or finishing chemicals and the slippers actually could not be kept in the house and are put in the garage. We have purchased the same slipper at least twice in past years with no issues.

I've been wearing this style for several years and loved them. Christmas 2014 I received a new pair, replacing a pair I had had for about 18 months. Sadly, holes started appearing in these after 4 months but LL Bean replaced them. I started wearing that new pair in Oct 2015 and sadly, I must report holes as well as exreme shearling wear, so much so that my heel rests only on the leather, and so stretched out I must wear two pairs of socks just to keep them on my feet. Just to be clear, these are only inside shoes.

This is the second pair of wicked good slippers and I wasn't happy at all. Sizing was on the small side and the opening too small for my foot. Returned for a refund.

I have purchased eight pairs of theses slippers over the years for myself and other family members (in addition to 7 pairs of the moccasin style). My first two pair were the old style and lasted SO MUCH LONGER than the newer style, which wore out in less than a year. I'm especially disappointed that all of the ones I purchased for gifts for my mother and sisters were the newer ones, and they didn't last anytime for any of them. The moccasin ones I bought last year have also worn out already.

I bought these as a Christmas gift for my daughter. They ran very small. (I even ordered them a half-size larger).
But, the most disappointing thing was that the wool interior came out in tufts, when she opened the box and put her hand inside to feel the interior. Not at all the kind of quality I've come to expect from LL Bean. Sending them back.

I have worn shearing slippers for years. So this is not my first pair, but the first from L.L. Bean. The shearing is skimpy at best and the leather is so flimsy that your foot rolls off the sole. I have tried the suggested "size up" which were way too big. Now am trying a half size down...Same results. No support at all. I know they are 'slippers' but this is the first pair I have owned that do this. For the price I expected better support and quality.

Firstly these look as if they have a soft sole. They DO have a hard sole it is covered by a piece of leather. Secondly water was spilt and the dye of the chocolate brown colored carpet and comforter! Was able to get stain out with a vegetable-based cleaner from comforter still slight stain in beige carpet. Not pleased. (Have had 6 months)

I have owned several pairs of these slippers over the years. They are very comfortable but they often fall apart after a few months and need to be replaced. My husband bought a new pair for me in May 2015 and the seams started coming apart on the right slipper in July 2015. I love these slippers but I am tired of having to send them back to be replaced!
