Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper

I love these slippers. They really hug your feet and keep them warm. The only issue is you'll be lucky to get a full season out of them. I replace them every year. The stitching around the bottom always comes undone within a few months. They also tend to stretch out quite a bit.

These are amazingly comfortable mocs. Your feet sink into the shearling and feel like a soft warm pillow for your feet. They are wonderfully warm with the shearling going all around the foot as opposed to the low top wicked good moc. The only issue I had with the moc is the soft bottom tends to pick up a lot of stuff when you're walking around in them. Not a huge issue but one to note nonetheless. While I've only had them for a month they look and feel very durable like they will last many years to come.

The Wicked Good Slippers are crazy soft, and the sole provides more support than my sneakers, but the sizes are way off. I'm a size 11, and that's what I ordered. My feet were falling out of these slippers when walking. I exchanged them for a size 10. They felt a little better, but still not snug. A note that came in the box said the slippers would mold to the shape of my feet with time, so I thought I would give it a week. It has been two weeks and my feet are still sliding out of the slippers. I haven't been a size 9 since middle school, but it looks like that's what I should have ordered. I feel bad returning these a second time, but I wish they would just use the same shoe size as other companies.

I originally bought these slippers at my local L.L. Bean store back in 2013 and was very pleased with them. After 6 + years of faithful service, they finally wore out (the fleece lining developed "bald spots"- much like the back of my head). So late last December, I went back to my store only to discover that were no longer kept in stock. I was told that I could purchase them online and have them shipped to my home. When I placed my order I was careful to specify the same size and width as the original ones because they fit so well. Unfortunately, when the new slippers arrived, I was dismayed to find that they did not fit me. I thought that this was due to their "newness" was they would "stretch out" over time and I continued to wear them for about 2 weeks. They were so hard to put on that one slipper tore at the seam. It was then that I matched the new pair with the old pair sole to sole and even though they were marked as the exactly same size and width, the new pair was almost one size smaller! I soon took them back to my local store and explained what had happened to them and what the problem seemed to be. They promptly offered to order a replacement pair or to give me a refund. I opted to order a replacement pair one size larger and when they arrived, I fell in love with them all over again. I would suggest that you visit a store and try on a similar pair first BEFORE ordering them online to make sure the new arrivals will fit properly. Maybe then you'll avoid falling victim to "The Incredible Shrinking Shoe Size". Perhaps this downsizing is a cost cutting effort much like what is happening to candy bars and toilet paper. Yep, the Snickers bar still costs the same, but you need a pair of tweezers to pick it up and eat it! I would have given these "wicked good" slippers a 5 star rating if they had fit me in the first place and I didn't have to make two trips to the store and have them shipped to me twice.

met expectations

Just received my fourth pair. The stitching wears out between 12 and 18 months. The lining as well. That said these are the most comfortable slippers ever. The soles are quiet on my hardwood floors. I wear them all the time, so the wearing out is something to be expected.

This slipper is very very comfortable. I especially love how QUIET they are on my hardwood floors. Slippers with solid soles tend to be loud, but these have leather bottoms and make no noise at all while I'm walking. Bottom line, my feet stay warm and comfortable while my kids stay asleep. Unfortunately, as noted by previous reviewers, the stitching blew out quickly from gentle and normal use around the house. I have ordered a replacement pair and will send the damaged pair back for a refund. (see photo...No I don't have a dog that ate my slipper, lol) If LL Bean did not have this common sense return policy I would not recommend purchasing these slippers, but because you can return them for a new pair when the stitching flaw reveals itself I think it's a worthwhile purchase. Still, LL Bean would be wise to address this design flaw ASAP.

They are warm and comfortable and a joy to wear. However, the laces used to connect the bottom of the shoe and the top, wear out before the rest of the shoe. If a new stronger, longer-lasting lace could be found, I'd give these an unequivocal "5."

I like them very much and am wearing them right now.

I have a narrow foot so I naturally order the "D" width only to find it is nearly too narrow for me and I wear a "B" width shoe. I suppose they will stretch. You might want to check to see what width your suppliers are actually creating.

Your wicked good slippers are of nice quality and workmanship. The product fits as wel as can be expected BUT COULD HAVE MORE OF A PLATFORM FOR OLDER FEET. I have always liked most of your products and your service. I do not however think it's fair to be charged $6.00 return fee just because I did not use YOUR credit card. I did however order another pair of the same slippers in a different size.

My first pair of these really comfortable slippers were purchased 18 months ago. The stitching on one pair tore from the leather, causing a total separation of the sole from the body of the slipper. I returned them, and LL Bean's shipped a replacement pair at no cost, plus sent a $10 gift card. That is exceptional customer service. My new pair is just as comfortable as my original pair, but has another problem. The soles on these slippers produce a loud squeaking noise over linoleum or tile flooring. It's loud enough to be heard throughout the house, and quite annoying. I will try talcum powder and other solutions, but what an incredible nuisance. If I can't find a remedy, I won't be able to continue wearing these otherwise wonderful slippers.

I first ordered these for the winter of 2011 and only wear them during winter months. After 2 winters, the rawhide stitching broke on the right slipper, near the front and the upper separated from the sole. I sent them back for a replacement in 2013. The second pair had the same problem ... after 2 winters, the rawhide stitching broke on one slipper and I had a hole between the upper and the sole, around the big toe area. I slapped some duct tape on it and made it through another winter, but still don't feel that these lasted as long as they should, so I am returning them again. It seems a lot of people have had the same or similar problem, so you would think that by now they would have done something to alleviate the weak stitching. Other than durability, I love the slippers.

These are very warm & fit well. I ordered a 12 & normally wear an 11 & they fit. Keep in mind these are made for indoor use with the soft sole. If your feet get cold like mine do, you'll love 'em.

Quick summary: Buy 1 or 2 sizes larger than your normal shoe size. Don't wear outdoors. Women might want to buy men's sizes for extra width. My normal shoe size is 7 1/2. I ordered an 8 EE (I prefer a wide slipper for comfort) and they were way too tight. The slippers are somewhat tapered and the thick interior fur greatly reduces the amount of space, especially when wearing heavy socks. I then ordered a 9 EE. But I still felt like my toes were somewhat pinched. I know I'm fussy. I then ordered a 10 EE which was only marginally larger than the 9 EE but I'm guessing that the leather will stretch and the fur will mat down over time. I don't have wide feet. The problem is the box of the slippers is tapered for aesthetics. The suede on the soles pick up every bit of dirt especially on wood floors. Never wear these on rough surfaces (you'll ruin the soles) and certainly never outdoors. The advantage of the suede soles is that they are much quieter when walking around the house on wood floors than hard soles. The suede soles also keep your feet warmer than hard soles (plastic soles transmit heat much more readily than suede). My wife also bought a pair but they too were way too small (women's mocs don't come in wide sizes). She returned them for a men's extra wide pair and she's now very warm and happy.

I really wanted a pair of these slippers to replace a pair the dog ate years ago. Dog has now passed away, so ... time to buy. I wear a size 9 1/2 shoe, and I really don't like shoes that are too small. But when I read through the reviews, I decided to try the 9 instead of the 10. The slippers came and when I went to try them on, I could barely get them on my feet. I thought they might rip out. But I got them on and tried them out. Felt very good, but tight. I saved the box to return them. The next day, I tried them on again before sending them back. A little easier to get on. But then I noticed the card in the box. It says .... "Shearling-lined footwear should provide a snug fit in order to offer both comfort and warmth. Initially, your toes and forefoot should feel slightly confined. The shearling lining with pack down around the shape of your foot to provide a custom fit within a short period of time." Reading that, I decided to keep the size 9s. About 10 days later they are still snug - almost more like a sock than a shoe - but easier to slip on and not uncomfortable. The quality looks very good

These slippers are the most heavenly things you can wear on your feet. I'm on my third pair and I will only ever continue to buy these. I'd grant a fifth star, but the shearling lining lasts two years, at best. I typically wear these for a few seasons (or years) after the lining has completely failed, as these slippers are expensive, but even that doesn't deter me from eventually replacing them with the same slippers. Speaking of which, I'm overdue to replace mine soon. I do mention and recommend these slippers to all my friends...or really anyone I talk to, even in passing. They're -that- heavenly.

But the lining started shedding immediately. In time the question of price versus quality will be answered.

Can you add a rubber sole to these slippers?

This is my 3rd time ordering the same product. I've tried all the other brands and this is the one I keep coming back to. They are indeed Wicked Good Slippers--comfortable, warm, durable. Price and delivery are exactly as advertised. I would be confident recommending this product to anyone. Thank you.

I love these slippers, but not as much as the old style which had much heavier fleece. The new slippers are the same as the ones I bought a few years ago, but I still have the ones from5-6-7 years ago which are far superior.

These are very comfortable, but definitely don't wear them outside. The fuzz inside of the slippers rubs off a little bit on wool socks, which is why my review is lacking a fifth star. Otherwise, these are great and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants comfortable slippers to wear around the house or apartment (building).

I had a previous pair and ordered the same size (I wear an size 8.5 shoe; so my previous pair was a size 9M). I received a 9M and it was way too small. Brought it to a local store and swapped it for a 10M. I rated 4stars; but, was not happy with the inconvenience of having to return them. This is the second pair of footwear where the items were smaller than they should have been

The slippers are for my dad who's feet are always cold. He says they keep them warm as toast. They are well made, sturdy and comfortable.

This is my 3rd pair over several years & I am very pleased with the warmth & confort they give me.
