Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper

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.

The quality was very good, but the size 11 fit felt smallish and narrow for my feet. And this was without the thick socks I would have on my feet in winter. Also the soles felt too narrow - I could feel the outer edge of my feet having a very slight but noticable overhang from the edge of the soles. I normally take a size 10 1/2 and I have a narrow foot, so I'm not used to having size 11 medum-width footware feel this way. Of course the lining is thick sheepskin, which of course over time will compress and will wear down. But how much, and how long would it take? Half sizes aren't available, so I'd have to go to a size 12 and perhaps a wide EE , I decided to return them and try the Wicked Good Mocassins.

The slippers are comfortable and fit properly. I was unsure what size since I wear a 10 1/2 size shoe, but getting the size 10 slipper makes a nice snug but not too tight fit.

Quality of the slipper is very, very good. Comfortable and warm. The only two issues I had is that, (1) going my my shoe size (13), they were two sizes too large, and (2) the insole feels a bit narrow. I had to return the 13's for a 12, then bought a second pair, size 10. The 10's were too small, so I returned those for an 11. I gave away the 12's and the 11's fit great! Give a lot of thought to ordering one or two sizes smaller than your street shoe size!

As the title says, I've had these slippers for over 5 years and now have to buy a new pair. The only thing that "failed" on them was that the cloth lacing they use to stitch the sheepskin upper to the sole of the slipper eventually frayed and snapped. If it hadn't, I would likely still be wearing them. I think that you won't find that many warm and comfortable slippers out there that will last that long. I really wonder though, if they would have held up twice that long if a leather thong was used to stitch them up instead of the fabric lace.

This is a fine slipper and my third pair since my dog chewed up the previous ones. I have purchased this slipper as a gift many times. However, the pair I just received for myself seems a bit small for the size I ordered. They may take some time breaking in.

Excellent House shoes. Somewhat wide.

They run a bit small, even after breaking in, but they are very comfortable slippers that keep your ankles warm, unlike many others.

I will admit that I prefer slippers with a durable bottom so as to go outside. These slippers are very warm, soft, and comfortable but have bottom not made for outside wear. Nonetheless they are great and conform to feet very well. I would order again but I know I like to step off the porch without having to change into something else so would pefer Minnetonka with durable bottoms. But this is great slipper I cannot deny.

Have bought 3 pairs 1 pair ladies size 9 , 1 man size 12 and 1 man size 10. The mens fit and feel great . except the ladies 9 is to short and 10 is to long , they need to make half sizes people with neurophy in their toes can't handle the pressure. except for being to short they are wonderful
