Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper

Love these slippers since I bought a pair a few years ago. But the cordage used to sew the uppers to the soles is failing miserably. I've had to repair them frequently, getting tired of it.

Slippers don't feel right. When wearing slippers, the sole of the shoe is off to one side, not directly under your foot.

These are the same kind of warm fluffy slippers I've been buying for years. This time, the left slipper is about a size larger than the right. It's just sewn in a way that makes the heel not fit as closely, so it's loose all around. Aside from it wanting to fall off when I walk, it also means there's room for a draft between the fleece and my foot. There's also a knob of lacing that sticks up on one of the seams and jabs into the ball of my foot at times. Overall disappointing when these have been amazing slippers in the past. (This is at least my fourth pair). For all the pairs that have fit, just be mindful that the fleece will smash down over time and after wearing them for a year or so there won't be much insulation on the bottom layer. I usually have two pair, one that's newer and warm, and an older pair that I'm willing to get grungy wearing out on to the patio. There's always a noticeable difference in their insulating qualities.

Having owned four pairs of these over the past twenty years, I can attest to their quality, ageless style and comfort. However, while I was absolutely impressed and satisfied with the first three pairs, I was mildly disappointed with the latest pair. Oddly, one of the slippers interior "fur" feels slightly rough like it's substandard sheep skin (?). Or as if it had been overly coated with some protectant or some such.

I didn't see that these slippers come in a wide width, which was the case years ago. They're nice and comfortable, but they've reached a point that I can find cheaper options.

Disappointed they don't offer soft bottom in low cut

I love these slippers. My first pair lasted four years of me wearing them a lot. However, more recent ones have only lasted about half of that. I thought the quality of the slippers had lowered, but I realized the change happened when they stopped having wide sizes. I think the narrower fit means I'm putting more strain on the seams. These have been my go-to winter slippers for a long time and I still like them, but I think I'm going to look around for others that fit better and will last longer. "Would you recommend this product to a friend?" As long as they don't have wide feet, sure.

I bought a men's 8...it was too small and very narrow....usually a mens 8 is a bit big I have a pair of men's mocs that are slightly big,.but comfy

These run VERY narrow and while the site says they have wide sizes they are never in stock. I take a 9 1/2 wide in normal shoes but had to settle for a twelve to get close to the feel that is right. Very disappointed in my absolute favorite slipper (replacing twenty year old ones I've repaired myself because I couldn't get new ones until this year.)

Best slippers ever for the two years I've had them. Extremely comfy and warm. However, just recently the heel area in my right-foot slipper began to wear down, and now a big gap has opened between the sole and the boot. They need to be replaced. I'd expect much better from a company like L.L. Bean, so I checked the guarantee, and it's apparently only good for one year. Not impressed.

Many years ago I received a pair of these and they lasted for nearly 5 years before wearing out. So last year I bought a new pair. With these I found that one heel was uneven and my foot would slide to the inside. It seemed minor so I put up with it for the season. Now this year when I got them out again I find that the "fleece" is coming out in tufts every time I take them out. They apparently are no longer built to last.

I bought a pair of slippers and now I'm getting minimal of 5 emails a day to buy more of the same product? Boarder line harassment

I've owned severable pairs of these slippers over the years and they are warm, comfortable, and look great, HOWEVER, they are built to wear out. The problem is with the lacing that fastens the sole to the upper part of the slipper. The lacing is not leather but looks similar to a "cord" or "twine" and is composed of multiple strands of fiber that are twisted together. As you walk, the lacing rubs against the floor or carpet and soon begins to wear. Before long, individual strands of fiber in the lacing begin to break and within a couple of years, the lacing itself breaks which causes the sole to separate from the upper and the slippers to fall apart. If the lacing were made of leather rather than a cord or twine-like material, the slippers would likely last for many years. As it is now, you have to buy new slippers every couple of years. I've seen this same kind of construction, using some sort of weak lacing or stitching to hold the sole to the upper, in many other slippers, moccasins, and shoes. This way it ensures that you will always be a frequent buyer. They are very nice warm, comfortable slippers. Just be prepared to buy new ones every couple of years.

These are my "go to" slippers and have had three pairs that lasted a couple/3 years or so. With the last pair I bought, the seam came loose after one winter.

Although the slippers are well made and very comfortable, they fit small for a size 9. A medium width would help. I might upsize to a 10.

Very comfortable slipper with one caveat. As others have noted the stitching tends to wear thin and break within 6-12 months. I have had to purchase multiple pairs due to the fact that I have to replace them within about nine months due to the stitching issue. I really enjoy the slippers and consider me the fool for continuing to purchase them but that's how much I like them.

I could not find the Sorels I am accustomed to so I bought these as something that looked similar. Not close at all.

Men's wicked good slippers are very warm as I've gotten older so I need warmer slippers. The wicked good slippers from are very warm however the issue I'm having is that they are very tight on my feet. I'm a size 11 and I know they say they will stretch but I've been wearing them for a week and they yet.

I have had 2 pairs of Men's Wicked Good Slippers in a men's 7 wide. The slippers have been warm, comfortable, and durable. This last pair was not true to size did not fit -- the 7 wide was too short and too narrow. Am sorry not to be able to have my third pair.

There's not enough padding in the sole.no spongy cushioning to keep my feet warm. Also, my left foot leans outward and will wear quickly. I know this because I've had these slippers for many years. I tried the dark brown Wicked Goods to see if they held up better but the dye leached onto my foot and if the bottom of the slippers were a little damp after taking a shower, or stepping outside for a minute, then the dye would leach onto the carpet. They did fit better, though, so I know there's a defect in the design with the light brown Wicked Goods. I will still stick with them, but I wish they were warmer and that the left slipper didn't veer to the left.

Sorry to say this is my 3rd pair of wicked goods. This pair is falling apart after 2 years.. Very disappointed.

Disappointed that the leather tore as my husband put them on Christmas morning. I expect more durability from LLBean. Otherwise they are warm and fit well.

Runs small? Bought the same size to replace an existing worn out pair. Exchanging for a size larger. Annoyed that I'm having to pay shipping because the product is not up to par as before.

You know that tab at the heel which helps you put on your slippers which are more like boots? Mine showed up WITHOUT them. This was a buying decision point for me and I am disappointed as they arrived differently than advertised. I love Bean, but this was a bit of a miss. Also the outside back support on the heel was lacking. Was hoping for more. Still comfy, but...
