Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper

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

They are very comfortable slippers. I love them and have had several pairs over the years. The only negative that I would change is to make the heel pad a bit wider. One word of caution: They are not made for outdoor exposure or getting wet in any way. The stitching connecting the soles to the uppers is just cloth and is not durable against any abusive scraping or exposure to moisture.

This is his second pair. He has had these for 6 years & they were still fine except our puppy bit a hole in the toe of one & his toe sticks out.

The look and warmth are good, but the down side is no arch support and souls are suede not hard leather or rubber. Thus, outside use is not practical if weather is wet even to get a paper.

Your records should indicate that I bought an identical pair of slippers about three years ago. The old ones were great while they lasted. If the new ones last as long I'll be satisfied.

Soft, warm and comfortable
