Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper

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.

The quality of the slippers is not there. This would have been my third pair but I had to send them back. Another example of poor quality is in a jacket I bought a few years ago. It was a down filled Acadia jacket. The material around the elastic in the sleeves and around the bottom of the jacket is rotting away. I regret not sending it back when it started to rot away.

The opening is these slippers is so small I couldn't even get my foot in the slipper. I can't attest to the fit because I never got them on my foot to tell.

I bought these same slippers 5 years ago, the don't even come close to the quality of my old pair. They also cost around twenty dollars more. There is less fur on the inside and around the ankle.The slipper material in much thinner than my old pair. So far, I am still wearing my old pair. I will guarantee the new pair will not last as long as the old pair.So I guess the new slippers are not as wicked good as the old pair.

I purchased these twice in the last decade or so. The stiching which looks like leather is poor quality. With just the friction from walking in my house it wears out and breaks. When that happens all you are left with is a good slipper in two pieces. The first pair I threw away the second pair I re-stitched them with a good quality shoelace. Still have them.

I've been buying these slippers for years, because they're just so darned comfortable, but I've finally decided to stop wasting money on single-year slippers. The uppers are durable leather. The bottoms are durable leather. But for some reason they went with cheap cloth to stitch them together, so the uppers separate from the lowers after maybe a year of daily use.

I love how comfy and warm these slippers are but they just don't last. I would expect for the price they'd survive a year, but that's all I got out of this pair, despite not wearing them outside or even the whole year. And when the stitching fails, it's catastrophic, as you can see from the photo. Overall, this was a waste of money.

My husband wore out a pair of these slippers, wearing them outside and inside and everywhere. They've been machine washed and dried and everything! They were great. I ordered another pair for Christmas and he put them on and one of the heel seams ripped right away. Same size and everything as the old ones. So, I am sending these defective ones back for a larger size and we'll see if that makes a difference. Besides seeming to be smaller, I think that the leather itself may be thinner, and so it could not stand up to the close stitch sewing on the heel (which appears to be good quality). Let's hope this bigger pair is better. I'll report back

My husband can't get the ball of his foot into these slippers! Very disappointing.

I've had LLBean slippers in the past. These are comfortable, warm and cozy but they do not afford me any ankle support. So it is back to slipper section and look for a pair that will do me right.

Just purchased two pairs of Wicked Slippers. One each of both colours. The Tan Pair the stitching on the 'Left' Slipper is crooked and not straight down the center, like the 'Right' Slipper and the Slippers are tighter than I would expect, even though I order a size larger and double EE. The Brown Pair are too tight also - the 'Right' Slipper seems to be a bit larger than the 'Left' Slipper. Not the Quality I would expect from LL Bean. I've owned two pairs of these Wicked Slippers for years, with no issues - they just wore out. I suppose with an increase in price, comes less quality? These use to be $49.95, now $79.95, with 'Free Shipping' - something is amiss.... I'm hopeful the 'exchange' process will be painless and I'm looking forward to many years of 'Toasty Toes'....

These are lovely slippers if you don't mind the really narrow insert. I was looking for something flatter to the ground and sent these back. The insert is pillowed enough that I was afraid of twisting my ankle in the night.

These slippers fit OK but I noticed the sheepskin was a little thin the minute I put them on,. Within four days the sheepskin under the base of my toes started to bunch up and became very uncomfortable. I'm returning them but it seems unfair to have to pay return postage for a defective product.

Although these appear to be soft soled, there is an inner, harder, shank of some kind, that is narrower than the sole itself. I found my heal slipping off the shank since the sides of the slipper were wider than the shank Guess 'slipper' is a good description of these. :-) Also, I should have realized from the design, but these can't be slipped into due to the height around the ankle. Great for comfort once on, but have to use hands to get them on. Had to return them...

I must start by saying that these are very well made slippers, but are sized a bit large. The problem I had was the fur lining pilled up into knots making them very uncomfortable to wear. I used socks and bare feet alternately and noticed the knots forming within a month of fairly regular use. I saw in another review that someone used a dinner fork to get the tangled fur to separate, but in my case, the knots of hair came out in clumps when I tried to comb it using that method and I was unsuccessful in removing all the knots. I returned them after a year of use. LL Bean honored their unconditional guarantee without any hassles.

These slippers are warm and have a lot of cushion. However, I had to return them since they offer no support.

This is my second pair of "Wicked Good Slippers." Unfortunately, the wool balls up under my toes; very uncomfortable.

I received my slippers today and while I know there is a wider model available and that is what I should have ordered, I don't wear wide shoes by any other brand. The slippers actually fit fine -- it's just the soles that are too narrow. When I walk, my feet teeter to the outside of the sole. It's silly.

I'm starting on my third season with these and I think it's time to throw them away. My feet were wonderfully warm the first year. Loved the slippers. They were pretty good the second year. And, now, my feet are cold all the time. The shearling has gotten compacted so much now. I'm not too satisfied with the slippers considering the price, but I'd feel bad to send the slippers back after having them for two years.

I didn't realize these are soft leather soles. I don't trust them to last more than a year or two. That's not acceptable for this price. I'm also disappointed that 1/2 sizes are not available. I'm returning the slippers.

Slippers were purchased in the shoe size the recipient wears but we're too tight and felt small.
