Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Downeast Slip On Wool

Early present for my husband. He loves them so happy he got them early.

These are not only attractive but very comfortable, feeling more like cozy shoes than slippers. Heed the advice of the reviewers and order a size smaller than your shoe size. I wear a 12, but based on the feedback that they run big, I ordered an 11 and it is perfect for me.

Not too hot on the feet and the soles are sturdy to wear outside if need be.

Nice shoe for quick slip on to tool around outdoors.

Nice product , just didn't fit as expected to snug for my liking

Fantastically comfortable. Good looking too ! Will probably get a second pair. If they don't charge for delivery !

Picky adult son said he liked his old ones (also from bean, about 8+ years ago), setting his new ones aside, then trying them on afterwards, we saw him take his old ones & said only in an emergency. He then worn the new ones for the next 4 days. Hey, moms still know best.

Very comfortable shoe. Very hard to get on but once you get them on.

Agree with many others, true to size and very comfortable for extended wear with or without socks. Not a slip on, I use a shoe horn which is only a minor inconvenience.

Ordered my normal size and they fit snuggly with wool socks. Very warm. I wear them outside this way for normal activities. A tug by your hand needed to pull on.

From my review on 10/13/2024-Adding photos to show the product, the L.L. Bean Men's Wool Downeast Slip-Ons size 14. Nothing has changed from my last review (From same name "BobS" on 10/13/2024), I'm still exceedingly satisfied with this product and will be using them primarily as a casual "going out" type of footwear from going out to restaurants for breakfast/lunch/dinner, to running errands to the post office, UPS, FedEx, going to grocery stores or hardware stores to shop, visit friends or family for handouts, cookouts, or the holidays, which are quickly approaching! These are my casual, going "somewhere" type of footwear that goes with anything, from jeans, cargo pants, lounge pants, sweats, anything! (I designate footwear as outdoor or indoor. Indoor means just that, always worn inside the house only, never used outside at all. Outdoor is broken down further into sub-categories, such as "Outdoor: Work around the house/house chores" - which can get the bottom of the footwear a bit dusty/dirty from stepping in the yard, wet ground, dirt/dusty/rocky places, unpaved areas, walking the dog, putting the chickens in the coop, etc. Then there is "Outdoor: Casual" - which is used for running errands, such as driving places, to the post office, UPS, FedEx, going to stores such as grocery, hardware, clothing, specialty etc. stores for shopping, eating out, restaurants/out to eat, going out for dinner, lunch, or breakfast, going to friends or family to hang out, cookouts, dinners, holiday get togethers, etc.. These LL Bean Men's Wool Downeast Slip-Ons (size 14) are categorized as "Outdoor: Casual"! They have not let me down and their look is stylish and clean! They always look great and are safe and useful per the bottom being non-slip rubber that grips the ground extremely well! Use it with or without socks - the fit is great, and I wear a size 14 which is hard to find a manufacturer that gets it right! And LL Bean does get their Size 14 footwear right! So much so that I ordered a couple of more footwear items that's coming soon! My other footwear pair from LL Bean currently, that I ordered together with this slip-on, is the LL Bean Men's Wool Downeast Clogs, again, size 14. The Clogs I use for, and they're categorized as, "Outdoor: Work around the house/house chores". (See above for my system, if you're interested! LOL) Please see some photos I took of these Slip-Ons, and see my reviews, which photos, on the Clogs page too!

I bought these along with the Wool Clogs from LL Bean, and I'm writing reviews for both as being exactly what I expected, and more! Sure, you may need a shoe horn to slip these on, but that's not a big deal to me, as the quality and multiple environments that these can be used in far outweighs any slight drawbacks - which I don't consider having to use a finger or shoehorn to slip the on as a bad thing - if the slipped on so easily, then they'd likely be too loose without socks etc. - these can be worn comfortably with or without socks, and inside our outdoors! Running errands or doing some outdoor chores, even just lounging on the back porch, patio, deck, driving around, going out to dinner - these have you covered!! I'm going to love curling up in front of the fireplace with a book or my laptop and just enjoy the comfort these serve. The fit is perfect! I mean perfect! (For both this Slip-on and the Clogs I bought and reviewed here at LL Bean). I wear a 14, as I'm a taller and bigger guy too, and footwear is a challenge to "get right", especially with the larger sizes - as a size 14 can run small at times from some companies (but I never had a size 14 shoe/slipper/footwear run big), so I was nervously hoping for the best as these two, Clogs and these Slip-Ons are my first LL Bean footwear purchases - and WOW - the fit, the fit is extremely perfect, and I can use socks or just bare feet to slip these on and enjoy! Buy a pair - I'm sure you won't regret purchasing these slip ons!

I work construction. These are great to slip on before and after the work boots!

Great slippers. Very warm and sneaker-like cushion.

Extremely comfortable, very smart looking, finely crafted, great inner sole support and cushioned sole

Not my usual shoes that I get from you, they seem to always be out of stock. They seem to be okay for now but really haven't broken then in yet.

Hard to get on, but otherwise very satisfying. Wearing them as I write this.

Ordered a size 9, my normal size, but my foot was all over the place in it. Had over a half inch of space behind my heel and no support in the toe box. Ordered a size 8 and initially a little snug but has loosened up after two weeks of wearing. Returned the size 9's to the store for a full refund. Overall very comfortable but the sole is super squeaky. No sneaking around the house in these. I will deal with the noise as long at they are durable.

I LOVE these shoes!! Warm, dry feet are so nice in the winter. The initial fit was tight, requiring a shoehorn, but after wearing it several times, it is much easier to get in and out.

They run a little large and are a bit stiff but still great

My husband likes the slippers. He wears a 10.5 size. We ordered a half size up as recommended. They are a bit loose and not as comfortable as they could be if they were the correct size. Otherwise, very nicely made.

Replaced a worn out pair of Bean slippers. Had forever.

I like footwear that behaves as indoor slippers (warmth, mainly) but is still robust enough (firm sole) for a brief foray outside. I'm enjoying these, but they are a little too much on the outdoor side of the equation: I can easily wear these as casual shoes for outdoor wear, and they are not as warm and soft as a slipper might be. "Slipping on" becomes a challenge with thicker socks
