Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper

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...

I have owned a few of these over the years but have found that the heel area (insole) wears out quickly and just walking on the leather.

Insoles aren't very even so my feet lean to the right or left depending on which side of the insole is thinnest .

Tried both Size 12 and Size 13. Both M and both too narrow for comfort. You need to offer other widths. I've sent both orders back, will look for other vendors.

I've been wearing these for years, usually very happy with the warmth and comfort. Not sure if LLB changed the product, but shearling feels cheaper and has been shedding everywhere. Also there's a tag inside the slipper at the arch, which is annoying and uncomfortable, I had to cut it out. Why on earth would you put a tag inside when the goal here is comfort?

Slippers are too Narrow, one misshaped a bit so that my feet did not have a solid base and they felt slightly unstable to stand on. Too bad, nice looking and feeling.

These are the most comfortable slippers I've ever had. I'd be giving them a 5 star rating, except the sole just came apart on the left foot. I would have hoped to get a few more years service out of this nice slipper.

I returned the slipper because it was to small. I received an email from you stating that the requested size was out of stock. I am still waiting for my slipper.

The slippers are really nice and fit well. The 3 star review is because they smelled horribly when I got them. I was going to return them, but thought I'd try and air them out. Took them out of the box, took out the paper shoe shapers and aired them out for over a WEEK before the smell dissipated!!!. I expected better arrival condition from LLBEAN
