Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Good Slipper

I HAVE BEEN DOING BUSINESS WITH LL BEAN FOR OVER 40 YEARS. I HAVE RARELY BEEN DISAPOINTED. THOSE RARE TIMES I WAS ABLE TO RETURN THE ITEM WITH NO HASSLE. THE SLIPPERS ARE GREAT EXCEPT I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED AS TO HOW THE LEATHER SOLE WILL HOLD UP OVER TIME.

These slippers keep my feet warm without making them sweat, even is warmer weather (it's 89 as I write this). They're definitely measnt for indoor use, though a short woal to the garage is OK. The best thing is that they stay on my feet even though I have fairly narrow heels. Unfortunately, I had to replace ths slippers twice before getting a good pair. The first was perfect until the seams on the heel flap started somcing out. The second fit very crookedly on both feet, makig it hard to wok in them (basically, on side of my feet hung off on edge of the sole while the other side sat well in). LLBean came through with returns, though.

I love these slippers, warm and soft against my feet.

OK so I'm torn when writing this. These are without a doubt, the most comfortable slippers I've ever own and I've tried quite a few. I purchased my current pair just before winter 2010-2011 (it's spring 2012 now), so they've been worn 2 winters. They don't get a lot of walking on as the soles (still in good shape) can attest, mostly sitting around the house. Unfortunately, the inner footbed is wearing through (see photo). Now 1.5 years isn't a bad amount of time for a shoe to last, but that would be for a shoe being worn around a lot. Given that these are winter slippers whose only outdoor wear is cooking on the deck or walking to the mailbox, and whose prime use is keeping my feet toasty warm while sitting and watching TV, the speed that the footbed has worn out is disappointing. I'm still giving them 4 stars because they are so incredibly comfortable, but did expect them to hold up much better. At almost $60 a pair now, they're extremely expensive for a 1-2 winter indoor slipper.

Comfortable for after a long day. Looking forward to wearing them as "hut shoes" when hiking the Alps!

This is a great slippermy last pair lasted well over 10 years of South Dakota winters (and falls and springs). The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is that the slippers don't come in half-sizes, and that's really what I need, especially in wide sizes. My last pair were 9W; my new pair are 8W. The earlier ones slipped on my feet a bit; the new ones are just a bit snug. However, I recommend going a half-size lower rather than higher: the slippers will stretch a bit with wear.

I have had two pair of the wicked slippers. My 13 year old grandson used to try to squeeze his feet in and could until this last year. So for his 13th birthday, I sent for a pair. He loves them

So far so good; they do seem to be fitting themselves to my feet, as stated in the packing materials.

Last pair bought 15 years ago and worn three seasons extensively is still in good shape except the sole; the stitching is unraveling where my darn left foot is too wide!

They fit well and are warm. while well made, I feel that the leather would have been more substantial so I could slip them on without the hands. The modern soft affect to clothing is something I don't like.

These are awesome slippers. My husband absolutely loved them. They are so soft and comfortable. I would have rated them 5 stars except for the fact that they don't come in half sizes, so the 9 was a little small and the 10 was a little bit too big. Half sizes would be a perfect fit !

Slippers were purchased to keep my feet warm whuile working from home. While they are a little larger than my foot, they still manage to keep my feet exceptionally warm. Only downside is the bottom. Since it is leather it absorbs water, so to make a quick trip outside to get the paper/mail I need to change shoes.

The slippers are a bit snug, so don't plan on wearing socks with them. I trust they will stretch with more use. They are rather expensive, so I typically wait for the holiday season deals and take advantage of the more expensive products offered by L.L.Bean. I would recommend that the bottoms of the slippers have a better grip - something with tread/rubber to help keep the bottoms clean. So don't wear these to walk outside to get a paper, etc. or for trips down in the basement.

I wear a size 14 wide shoe when I can get it, but the 13 wide size was a little large (length). Will try the 12 wide next time. Otherwise, very satisfied.

Great slipper for cold winter season. Fit at first is awkward but within a few days it really conforms to my foot. Very pleased!!

Fit well. Are comfortable, and warm on cold mornings.

I've owned a pair of wicked good mocs for too many years -- the hair on the footbed had completely worn through, and the leather had even worn through in places. My feet no longer remained warm in them. I was going to get a pair of wicked good moc boots. They being sold out, I decided to try these wicked good slippers. I like how they wrap around the top of your foot; I bet that helps them keep my foot warm. I don't care for the leather sole, though. I liked the rubber sole of the other wicked good footwear, which I could clean with soap and water. My ideal product would have the upper of this slipper with that rubber sole. In any event, my feet haven't been cold since I switched to these, which is saying a lot.

My husband has worn the slipper socks for years. Recently, he decided they fit a bit tight, and the ones we bought this year from LLB were not as good a quality as the past. So, we tried these LLB slippers instead. He likes how easy they are to get on and off. His only "complaint" is that they are too warm for some winter days/evenings in VA.

very warm slippers. nice and narrow to fit my hubby's narrow feet. The only thing is i wish they came with outdoor soles. he often wears them outside for a trip to the mailbox.

I sit at my desk a lot and have very cold feet. These slippers are very comfortable and very warm. I ware them every day.

Very comfy & warm. Fit is great. Takes a bit of getting used to the foot bed when walking around & have seen a little bit of shedding in the lining. Other than that I could only suggest cleaning/care instructions. I would rate it 5 stars without the shedding & if care instructions were provided.

These felt fabulous, and they fit fairly well, albeit a tad long. The problem was that on one of the slippers, the sole was narrower on one side than the top, causing the foot to roll over on that side. A construction problem, and one that my husband just could not live with, so we returned them. If it had not been for that one problem, he would have been delighted with these yummy slippers. We've bought other slippers and products in the past which have been great, so we shall continue to look to L.L.Bean for quality products!

PROS: Warm, comfortable, soft, can be worn for short jaunts outdoors. CONS: The inside only lasts about 3 years, the bottoms are very slick when they get wet, no foot support of any kind. If you want something warm to wear when watching the fire or TV, or when just putzing around the house, these are great. If you need something to walk around in or go outside, pick a different style.

Very comfortable and warm.

sizing is on the generous side, but work well with socks. They do keep my feet really snug and warm.
