Todos los ProductosHello, I’m Isabella Littleford, a veteran in the fashion space with a lifelong love for celebrating where elegance meets function.
With over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, 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. That experience taught me to recognize exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless appeal. 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, diving into their style, comfort, and versatility.
Whether you’re a die-hard sneaker collector or simply looking to inject a bit of chic into your wardrobe, I’m here to help you understand the appeal with advice shaped by my industry experience. 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 (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and have been asked a lot about them ever since. So many that I figured I’d dive in and give you a detailed review! I’ve also had them long enough 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 breaking down a bunch of popular FAQs, as well as where to score deals on them, just ahead! 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 review of my Dudley Stephens fleece!
Where were you able to get your pair?
I found mine on sale via Cettire and purchased them that way!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the womengoldengoosesneakers.com shipping was lightning fast – definitely a bonus
How expensive are they?
I snagged a pair for $385.43, though they usually retail for around $513.91.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and seventeen hundred 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 they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
Are they comfortable?
They felt good right away. I recommend wearing no-shows, especially since they help with airflow. Top-quality leather, so it’s much more comfortable than breaking in plastic-based shoes. Bonus, they’re already distressed so your feet just adjust easily.
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. Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
Do they feel better than other shoes?
These are the best sneakers I own. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose still come out on top. They include a built-in arch bump that adds a little height — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re handmade in small batches, so each pair is custom-feeling. And the sparkle on mine? Next-level.
Would you recommend them?
Totally! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They cost a lot, so getting them on sale is smarter. They’re worth the investment, especially if you get a pair you love. Mine have pink glitter, but a neutral version would also go with everything.
Where can I find them on sale?
Scroll down for my go-to sources. I had a amazing experience with GGoose.org, so I think they’re a great option.

Where were you able to get your pair?
I ordered mine from Cettire when they had a solid deal going on.
I ordered them on April 28th and they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the shipping was really quick and that’s a win in my book
What’s the cost?
When I ordered my pair in April, I paid just under $390, but their regular price is over $500.
Golden Goose sneakers typically cost anywhere between $410 and $1,700, depending on how customized they are.
How does the sizing run?
I’d say they fit true to size, based on my pair. They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up a size
Are they comfortable?
They felt good almost immediately. I wear no-show socks with them, especially since they reduce sweat. High-end Italian leather construction, so it’s much more comfortable than breaking in fake leather. Bonus, they’re already broken-in so your feet just slide in.
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. Nothing has torn, and the shape stayed solid.
Since the aesthetic is distressed, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
