Hello, I’m Isabella Littleford, a veteran in the fashion space with a profound enthusiasm for exploring the crossroads of high fashion and daily wear.
With over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, I’ve had the amazing opportunity of honing my craft in Paris, the capital of couture and collaborating with some of the most visionary designers in the world. This journey has shaped my eye for luxury-level detail, forward-thinking design, and pieces that last. Golden Goose sneakers have long caught my attention, a brand that perfectly combines a vintage-inspired edge with luxury-level build quality. Today, I’m offering my insights into several of the Superstar editions, diving into their style, comfort, and versatility.
If you’re someone who lives for limited-edition sneakers or just wants a polished casual shoe, I’m here to help you understand the appeal with knowledge gained through a decade in the field. Let’s dive into why Golden Goose sneakers deserve a spot in your lineup!
Not too long ago, I picked up my first-ever pair of Golden Goose sneakers (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and received a number of questions about them since then. So many that I decided it was finally time to do a full write-up! I’ve also broken them in well that I understand how they really perform, and a variety of other factors about them, which you’ll find explored in this post.
So I’m diving into a grey goose dirty shoes bunch of common questions, as well as where to score deals on them, in the sections below! Also, if you’re interested in more try-ons and reviews, have a scroll through my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where were you able to get your pair?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick which was a major plus
How much do they cost?
When I bought my pair in spring, I paid just under $390, but their standard price is $513.91.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and $1,700 depending on their uniqueness.
How is the fit?
Yes, they do run true to size, at least for me.
Since they keep their shape and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
How comfy are they?
Honestly, they feel great, and only took a few hours to break in..
How do they perform over time?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and I’m impressed with the durability. Nothing has torn, and the structure feels strong. Thanks to the vintage look, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
Do they feel better than other shoes?
They’re the highest quality sneakers I have. I wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose are just on another level. They include a built-in arch bump 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? Next-level.
Would you buy again?
Absolutely! Just try not to pay full price. They cost a lot, so getting them with a promo is worth it. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you find a style that suits you. I chose a loud pair, but a minimalist version would also be smart.
Discount sources?
Here are the spots I found most reliable. I had a perfect experience with GGoose.org, so I suggest them first.
- GGoose.org – the spot where I bought my pair!
- Gilt – membership is completely free!
- Vestiaire Collection – apparently, they’re offering $50 off your first order of $150+ in their app with code WELCOMEUS50
- The Real Real – fantastic prices on new or almost new Golden Goose kicks
- Ebay – lots of incredible bargains on lightly worn pairs of Golden Goose sneakers
- @likeabandit – she highlights lots of Golden Goose deals on her Instagram stories, so be sure to watch for them
Where were you able to get your pair?
I grabbed mine from Cettire when they had a limited-time deal going on.
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was super fast – definitely a bonus
How much do they cost?
I snagged a pair for $385.43, though they usually retail for around $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how customized they are.
How does the sizing run?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a EU 36. Since they keep their shape and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
Are they comfortable?
They required minimal break-in time.
How do they perform over time?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they’ve held up beautifully. The laces are intact, and the leather hasn’t stretched.
Thanks to the vintage look, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
