I’m Isabella Littleford—a fashion industry veteran who’s spent years studying the balance of couture and comfort.
Backed by 10+ years in style and design, I’ve had the privilege of honing my craft in Paris, the capital of couture and working alongside top-tier global designers. Those years gave me a clear lens for spotting high-caliber craftsmanship, fresh concepts, and enduring style. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a pre-worn character with refined construction and premium materials. Here, I’ll walk you through my thoughts on different Superstar models, highlighting their aesthetics, practicality, and adaptability.
Whether you obsess over every new drop or just want a reliable fashion-forward pair, I’m here to guide you through it all with insights drawn from my years in the fashion trenches. Let’s explore what makes these sneakers a standout choice!
Not too long ago, I picked up my first-ever pair of Golden Goose sneakers (which I originally featured in this post), and got tons of questions from you guys ever since. So many that I figured I’d dive in and give you a detailed review! I’ve also worn them enough now that I can confidently speak to their craftsmanship, and a number of other aspects about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m diving into a bunch of common questions, as well as how to grab them for less, in the sections below! Also, if you’re interested in more try-ons and reviews, take a look at my comparison of pink golden goose sneakers Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard St. Louis GM Tote review, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where did you buy them?
I discovered mine on sale via Cettire and bought them that way!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast which was a major plus
How expensive are they?
I picked them up for $385.43, though they usually go for around $513.91.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and $1,700 depending on their uniqueness.
Do they fit as expected?
I’d say they fit just right, based on my pair.
Since they keep their shape and half sizes aren’t available, I’d choose the larger option.
Is the comfort worth it?
They required minimal break-in time..
How do they perform over time?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and I’m impressed with the durability. Nothing has torn, and the leather hasn’t stretched. Because they already look worn, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
How do they compare to other sneakers?
Nothing else compares in comfort or quality. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose wins in both comfort and quality. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds a little height — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is unique. And the glitter on mine? Stunning.
Would you recommend them?
Totally! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They’re not cheap, so getting them on sale is a better idea. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you find a style that suits you. Mine have pink glitter, but a low-key version would also look great.
Best places to buy them cheaper?
Check out my list below. I had a perfect experience with GGoose.org, so I suggest them first.
- GGoose.org – where I got mine!
- Gilt – signing up is free!
- Vestiaire Collection – apparently, they are giving $50 off your first order of $150+ in their app using code WELCOMEUS50
- The Real Real – great prices on new or almost new Golden Goose shoes
- Ebay – tons of amazing deals on gently used pairs of Golden Goose sneakers
- @likeabandit – she highlights plenty of GG finds on her Instagram stories, so be sure to watch for them
Where can I find Golden Goose sneakers?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How expensive are they?
When I bought my pair in April, I paid around $385, but their regular price is $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $400–$1,700, depending on how decked out they are.
Are they true to size?
They’re true to size in my experience, at least for me. Since they keep their shape and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d recommend sizing up.
How comfy are they?
They required minimal break-in time.
How durable are they?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. No glitter has fallen off, and the shape stayed solid.
Thanks to the vintage look, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
