Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper

I have owned a pair of LL Bean slippers for 10 years, loved them. I wanted a new pair so I ordered the new high ones. The slipper is tight even thought I ordered a half size larger. I thought they would loosen up. The sole feels very narrow like you are going to twist an ankle. It is because it is rounded and not flat. I have tried wearing them for short periods of time still not comfortable as slippers should be right from the box.

I took a chance and found out they were too narrow, I'm returning them. I'm looking for a UPS truck to send them back.

My last pair of these slippers I got had larger "width" size. I bought them some years back, but still, why would you guys do away with that? I just ordered a new pair in the hopes that maybe a medium width would suffice, but no good. I just returned them with a sad heart, I really like these slippers and it's just really annoying knowing that I will not be able to get a new pair now. Bring back the "widths" sizes you guys!

This is the first time I have purchased an L.L. Bean product and haven't been really happy with the item. I'm getting older and I'm fighting to keeping my feet warm. I was very disappointed with the amount of fur that was left on the hide. My old slippers from ten years ago are still better than these. The manufacturer cut the fur down to less than a 1/4 of an inch and they aren't very warm. The fabrication quality looks good, but they cut away way to much insulation. The density of the wool is also very poor.

Take a close look at the stitching. I wore a heal out, my wife called customer service and they told us to send them back. After paying the shipping to do so they called to say I was walking on the stitches and they won't honor the warranty. They sent this $89 pair back to me. It's a shame people abused their policy. I've been a customer for over 30 years, and will not purchase from LL Bean again. These slippers are only a tad over a year old.

My husband loved these slippers at first -- they were very warm and nice looking -- but he quickly noticed there was no support and very little cushioning on the soles. The thin insoles starting shifting sideways and after a couple weeks he was walking on the sides of the slippers. We will be returning them to the store as they did not meet our expectations.

Soles are very narrow and wide feet tend to walk of both sides of the sole making them uncomfortable.

I have been wearing these slippers for over 29 years now and this is the first time I have been disappointed. The foot pad on the right slipper is not centered correctly. I feel like I am walking on the side of my slipper and it is very uncomfortable. Too bad because this has always been my favorite pair of slippers.

My first pair of wicked good slippers were made in Maine and lasted over ten year. My last pair lasted less than one year. My new ones roll so the stitching shifts under my foot in will wear out even faster. So disappointed with the falling quality. Please bring manufacturing back to Maine.

The product is well made and worth the purchase price, but the slippers are too narrow and seem to be short in length. I ordered a full size up from the shoe size and they still didn't fit. I've ordered other pairs of men's slippers with the same problem - they just don't fit. Please let me know how to return the slippers. I've lost the paperwork over the holidays. Thank you.

First, the slippers were way too tight. Next, the left footbed was skewed at an awkward angle. My foot didn't lie flat in the slipper when I took a step, My ankle appeared distinctly pronated. I returned them for a size 10 EE, hoping that will fit better -- and be made better. If not, they go back for good. BTW, I was unaware there even WAS a wide EE slipper, as I could not find mention of them in the catalog..

Will be returning slippers today for an exchange for a larger size 14, although size of original purchase is actually almost ok. However, the main rewson for returning is that the width of the sole, left foot, heel, appears to be narrower than it should, causing foot to slip sideways, that problem is non existent in the right foot, so no other explanation applies. Thanks, always a repeat customer.

Nice and comfy and warm but stitching came out of one of them when llbean still had their lifetime guarantee and they won't replace them. So don't recommend llbean products anymore.

Just be sure to check the size recommendations before ordering. Mine, although my exact street shoe size, are too narrow and too short. Maybe they will stretch.

This is my second pair of these sleepers. First pair were pretty good and thought was time to replace them. Since purchased the new ones in the being of the summer, I hadn't worn them too much, however I noticed the left sleeper was cutting into the top of the foot, assuming some sort of defect. Now being the being of fall started to wear them again, sad to say these are not as good as my first pair and will have to find a replacement, but won't be another pair of these.

Bought my third pair since 2009 in May 2017, and I wore them pretty much every day since they arrived. They're soft, and pretty comfortable, although this pair was sized somewhat smaller than the previous two. I was feeling a draft on my right foot, so I looked down and noticed the stitching has blown out in two spots. I will restitch these, but unless someone can confirm that the material used to stitch the tops and soles together has been upgraded, this will be my last pair. And that's a shame, because until the stitches part, these are some wicked good slippers. Would I recommend these to a friend? Maybe someone I just met...

The lining has worn out after about 6 months. The outer leather is good. I will not buy again.

I am very disappointed in these slippers. This is another pair of slippers I will be returning to LLBean. They run small so the size 9 my husband normally wears had to be returned for a size 10. The size 10 fit but my light colored carpets have become stained everywhere my husband walks in the house!! At first I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my carpets. Then after watching my husband's steps when he was home, I noticed the path he normally walks is the places my carpets are stained. Has anyone else had this problem? The suede color is somehow coming off. He had another pair of these awhile ago and we didn't have this problem. The inside is also matted down after a month. Not the quality I would expect from LLBean.

Squeaks on any and all hard surfaces. Because it only comes in whole sizes, it was too loose on me. It started to roll onto the side. Not satisfied at all. Hope to b able to return for a refund, since I've only worn them a few days.

I have a pair of the moccasins and love them. These have no structure whatsoever. No support. Just floppy. I got them for the smooth bottom but didn't expect this. I would have returned them but threw everything away. Big mistake.

I ordered size 11. I normally wear size 10 1/2. The slippers were much too small and had to be returned.

This was the second pair of slippers we tried and the issue is that the footbed is not solid. It was not secure, solid or frankly wide enough to support an average size foot. As I have seen written in other reviews the slippers in general that we tried seem to be made cheaply. We were hugely disappointed and even more so that LL BEAN , a company that my parents loved has fallen into the trap of losing its reputation of providing quality products.

Feels great, fits great, but the way the bottoms are sewn on to the upper wears too fast. Less than a full year of wear, and I've blown through them. Won't order again.

I've received these slippers as a gift every other year for over a decade. This was the first year that I was unhappy with them. I sent the first pair back because the padding in the right slipper was uneven. The second pair had the same problem only to a lesser degree. I kept them though because due to weather (and other factors?) it took almost a month to get the replacement. I will be trying a different company the next time.

I have purchased this style of slipper before and this pair I just received feels like I'm walking on an uneven blanket. It's almost like the lining on the bottom is too thick. This is something I did not experience with my previous purchase of the same style of slipper.
