Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Downeast Clog Wool

These are perfect for winter warmth even with thin socks.

I also followed what LL Bean suggested and went a size UP since I'm a 6 1/2 and I was swimming in a size 7. I sent it back and paid the return fee to get a size 6 and it fits perfectly. Seems others went through the same thing I did and followed this wrong advice. I do like the clog. It fits nice (now) and I like the quality of the material. My feet felt good wearing them, the sole is firm but comfy. Yes, they're the tiniest bit slick on glossy floors but not enough to concern me. I'm just aware of it. I like the shoe and will keep them..

These do run a bit big especially at top of foot opening. They are nice and wide, which I need due to bunions. I like the support and quality they offer, but they are not as cozy as last year slipper: Women's Kennebec Shearling Clogs. They did not carry those this year, so I got these since they are similar. My feet get cold in these; I can sometimes feel the chill going thru the wool. Not a bad substitute but hoping they bring back the Kennebec Shearling Clog next year.

I love the look of these at first, but almost slipped on my linoleum floor within 2 minutes of putting them on. I wear a size 8.5, ordered the size 8 and they fit great lengthwise. But they are too wide at the ankle and gave no support in that area.

I love these. As others wrote, they run very large. I wear an 8.5, and I bought the 8 (see photos). I had the luxury to try them on and decide in the store (I had never been to an LLBean store in person before!). It was between these and the "Wool slipper clog," which ran true to size; tts, however, didn't work for me because the arch was in the wrong place on both the 8 and the 9 (no half sizes in any of these). On these, the arch hits just right. I'm fine with the fit, though technically large, as I plan to wear them with thick socks - in the photos I'm in LLBean cozy rangeley socks. I would *never* have thought to buy these from the website, but as soon as I saw them I knew this was just what I needed. I dislike dragging outside dirt around my house from shoes, yet I need the little lift they give me that slippers don't; I'd say these are about an inch. Plus, I work from home so, unlike with traditional slippers, I look/feel like I'm wearing real shoes which puts me in a better work mindset. Comparison: The slipper clog didn't have as much lift, but it was snugger at the top by the ankle, which was nice. These fit perfectly on the whole foot, though they do have that uptick at the point closest to the ankle. It's okay because they're slides. They are super comfortable, and I have worn them all day since I got them - literally from the minute I get out of bed and do my morning routine until the day is over. In the evening I wear them with huge cozy socks. I had no idea such a slipper shoe existed, but when I saw the wool and thought how warm and shoe-like, I knew this was just the slipper I didn't know I'd been looking for. I knocked off a star because objectively they could be snugger at that part closest to the leg, and even a bit shorter, but really I'm not complaining, as they *feel* 100% perfect where it matters. I'll never wear them out; these are my "house shoes" to keep my floors clean, feet feeling like they're in slippers, and provide a but of a lift (I'm 5'1" and need it!).

Not true to size and the Mediums are wide in this specific shoe, still very comfortable I wear a 8 1/2 and order a 8 and it feels like a size 9 instead

this shoe is beautiful - but I need it in 7 1/2 and there are no half sized - disappointed

Very comfortable and sturdy, can wear inside or outside. Just wish they were a little more attractive.

I really liked the look of these clogs but they run very large...

I bought the size I usually do. The clogs are like boats! Too much of a hassle to return so I more or less solved the problem by using them with fleece insoles. Quality otherwise is just fine.

They run very big. Almost mens sizes. Comfy insole.

Unfortunately returning the sole is so slippery on my hardwood floors. Not sure if it's a one off or some kind of coating on them. Have the exact same some on another style that is perfect.

I wanted to love these, they look really nice, but they run big and very slippery on my floors. Also, they are more of a shoe than a slipper. So even if they fit right. I would return them. I want something softer, that to me is a slipper.

These are snug even on me, and I have a very narrow foot with high arch. Thru have stretched some, and I wear with thinner socks. I like how they look. But don't live the fit.

This is a nice shoe and it's warm but the soles are strangely slippy indoors on my wood floors. Feels like I'm on an ice rink! Luckily they are good outside on pavement, grass etc.

These run large, common review point. What I didn't like was that they dont grip the floor around the house. Something about these foamy light soles don't grip the flooring in my kitchen or bathrooms. Noticed it right away, thankfully. We have that modern peel and stick faux wood flooring. The floor does have a texture which my other shoes are fine with. I wish I had a better knowledge of what this flooring is in the apartment, and I don't know if they slip and slide on true wood floors. These just weren't worth the risk for me.

I wear a 7 1/2 but an 8 was an inch too big. They were also extremely wide. I had to return them, but the color was nice.

Ran a whole size too large and me having to pay for return will make me reluctant to try more clothing

Great shoes. Sizing runs big wish there were half sizes

I really wanted to like these clogs, but they run at least a full size larger than marked. I will return them.

These looked like perfect shoes to wear with jeans all fall. But when they arrived, they were HUGE! Looked like mens shoes. I wear size 6 , so am able to switch for a smaller size. Back they go!

I have a similar pair from last year. I love them, so ordered these on sale. The soles look identical, but they are made out of different material. The new material is very slippery compared to last year. I returned them. The fit was fine.

Unfortunately I have sent back. Very wide, the wool appears to be "stretched", when on (with socks), I could place two fingers in on the top of my foot! I couldn't safely walk the distance of a room in them because of the sloppy fit. Been buying shoes/boots/slippers from LL Bean for probably 35-40 yrs. Most disappointing.
