Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Hand Sewn Slippers Flannel-Lined

These are my favorite slippers on the market, anywhere. Comfortable, great fit, etc., but my favorite part is the flannel lining so it's not as hot-wearing as shearling types.

This is my third pair and I'll keep getting them! My favorite slipper- warm, but not too hot, good quality and durability.

Excellently made shoes. I wished they had a little more arch support and were available in different width sizes. I had to buy the shoe in the next full size to accommodate my 2E width, which makes the shoe a little big.

Slippers were hard and stiff. What's supposed to be comfortable is too long and rigid. I've worn them six times and they still aren't broken in.

These are great, but obviously I wore through the flannel pretty quickly. Once that happens, the foam cushion starts wearing away and then they're not as comfortable. My feet can feel all the chewed up bits and irregularities underneath it. I bet they would last decades if not for the lining. I love them. I keep trying to think if there is a way to revitalize them

Expect these slippers to last about 3 years with light to moderate use. My husband is on his 3rd/4th pair and the wear pattern has been the same every time. As other reviews and pictures show, the inner lining and foam wear out long before the outer leather and sole. My husband wears them inside after work and on weekends - so not all the time. After 3 years, the outside still looks nearly new and the inside looks 15 years old. Every time. Maybe this is reasonable life for slippers in this price range? I'm not sure. Knowing it's not reasonable to continue doing the same thing again and expect different results, this time I'm ordering the Wicked Good moosehide slippers in hopes of greater durability.

Love the slippers, but only bought the flannel version once, and never again. Lining wears out incredibly quickly, ruining the slippers. Have bought 4-5 pairs of the shearling version, and lasts MUCH longer. Appears they discontinued the shearling version, not on the website anymore, very disappointing.

I really wanted to love these slippers. They have some strong positives: leather uppers; the crepe soles are grippy and fantastic for around the house and quick jonts outside; warm and comfortable. The bad: the flannel liners are terrible. They break down and start to rip after just months of regular wear, causing the thin foam padding to start ripping apart, leaving pieces of foam all over your socks and floors. I went through 2 pairs of them during one New England winter season and one more less than halfway through the following winter before throwing in the towel on these for good. The only upside is Bean's fantastic warranty and ease to exchanging them. But it was not worth going through the hassle every few months. I switched to a different brand of Maine handmade moccasins and they have been worlds better. Those crepe soles are hard to come by in other brands for a reasonable price though!

We purchased these because my spouse finds them comfortable. The problem is that they don't last long. Worn only as slippers in the home (so limited time each day), they insides by the achilles area begins to wear and fall apart within a few (usually about 4) short months. Comfortable, but the price makes them not worth purchasing again.

These are too narrow. I purchased a size larger to account for this. It didn't help. Not as imagined they would be.

I had a pair of these slippers for several years and loved them. They were lined with lambswool fleece. The slippers lasted several years. I recently bought a replacement, with the flannel lining. After three months, the flannel lining wore a hole. The shine isn't even off the leather. Would never buy another pair with this lining.

Too wide in the heel.

This is the second pair of LLB slippers I have purchased - same style. The smooth leather still looks great, and the sole is wearing just fine. The first pair had a shearling liner and they wore like iron. This pair, the lining started to wear within a few months and now both feet look like the attached photo. Very disappointed with the quality of the lining.

I have been buying LL Bean for 20 years. 90% of my wardrobe is Bean. First time I have had to write a negative review. Purchased these slippers for around the house. Last pair was the elk hide slippers (recommend). These fit okay but are coming apart already! The Inner part of the left shoe is separating from the outside sole. It crunches when you walk. Driving my wife an I crazy. Already purchased a pair of the Comfort Moc's to replace them. I would consider purchasing a different style.

Received these as a Christmas present. Five months later the lining is already waring out at the ball of the foot and the heel.

After 4 months of wear the interior is already wearing thin.
