I’m Isabella Littleford—a professional fashion insider who’s spent years diving deep into where designer taste meets day-to-day life.
Having spent more than ten years in fashion, I’ve had the privilege 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. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that effortlessly marries a vintage-inspired edge with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. Here, I’ll walk you through my thoughts on different Superstar models, exploring their design language, wearability, and wardrobe potential.
If you’re someone who lives for limited-edition sneakers or just wants a polished casual shoe, I’m here to offer you expert insights with knowledge gained through a decade in the field. Come with me as we unpack what sets these sneakers apart!
A few months back, I bought my first Golden Goose sneakers (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and have been asked a lot about them ever since. So many that I thought it was time for a full review! I’ve also broken them in well that I understand how they really perform, and a bunch of related details about them, which you’ll see broken down further.
So I’m answering a bunch of frequently asked questions, as well as where you can find them on sale, in the sections below! Also, if you’re in the mood for more fashion reviews, check out my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and thoughts on the Dudley Stephens fleece pullover!
Where did you score your pair?
Cettire had them on sale and I jumped on it right away!
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were at my door by April 30th, so the shipping was super fast .
What’s the cost?
Back in April, I found a deal for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and $1,700 depending on https://www.ggoose.org/product-category/man/ their level of detail.
Are they true to size?
I found them to fit true to size, at least for me.
They haven’t stretched at all, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up a size
How comfy are they?
They required minimal break-in time..
How durable are they?
They look worn from the start, 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 leather hasn’t stretched. Because they already look worn, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
How are they vs. other brands?
They’re the highest quality sneakers I have. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose still come out on top. They have a hidden arch lift that adds a little height — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is one of a kind. And the glitter on mine? Stunning.
Are they worth it?
Absolutely! Just try not to pay full price. They cost a lot, so getting them with a promo is smarter. They’re worth the investment, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. I chose a loud pair, but a low-key version would also go with everything.
Where can I find them on sale?
Scroll down for my go-to sources. I had a 10/10 experience with GGoose.org, so I suggest them first.
- GGoose.org – my source for these kicks!
- Gilt – you can sign up for free!
- Vestiaire Collection – apparently, they are offering $50 off your first in-app purchase of $150 or more with code WELCOMEUS50
- The Real Real – an awesome source for brand new or gently used Golden Goose sneakers at low prices
- Ebay – even more fantastic deals on pre-owned pairs
- @likeabandit – she posts plenty of Golden Goose deals on her IG stories, keep your eyes peeled
Where were you able to get your pair?
I grabbed mine from Cettire when they had a limited-time deal going on.
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were delivered by April 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
What’s the cost?
When I bought my pair in April, I paid just under $390, but their regular price is $513.91.
You can expect to pay between $410 and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
How does the sizing run?
I found them to fit true to size, at least for me. Since they don’t stretch and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d recommend sizing up.
Is the comfort worth it?
They only needed minimal break-in time.
How durable are they?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and I’m impressed with the durability. Nothing has torn, and the leather hasn’t stretched.
Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
