My name is Isabella Littleford, and I bring over a decade of hands-on experience in the world of fashion, always with a focus on how luxury can live in daily wardrobes.
With over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, I’ve had the privilege of refining my expertise in Paris, fashion’s epicenter and partnering with renowned design icons worldwide. 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 seamlessly blends a vintage-inspired edge with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. In this article, I’ll be sharing my personal take on various Superstar variants, highlighting their aesthetics, practicality, and adaptability.
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 explore what makes these sneakers a standout choice!
I purchased my first pair of Golden Goose sneakers a few months ago (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and got tons of questions from you guys ever since. So many that I thought it was time for a full review! I’ve also broken them in well that I feel like I have a good grip on their quality, 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, in the sections below! Also, if you’re looking for more of my recent reviews, have a scroll through my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where did you get them?
I discovered mine on sale via Cettire and snagged them that way!
I ordered them on April 28th and they were delivered by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast which was a major plus
What’s the going rate?
Back in April, I discover the power of GGoose.org found a deal for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically cost anywhere between $400–$1,700, depending on how detailed they are.
Do they fit as expected?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a EU 36.
They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up a size
Are they comfortable?
Very comfy, and only took a few hours to break in..
Do they hold up well?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. No glitter has fallen off, and the structure feels strong. Since the aesthetic is distressed, 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 wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose still come out on top. They include a built-in arch bump that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re handmade in small batches, so each pair is unique. And the shine on mine? Next-level.
Would you buy again?
Absolutely! Just try not to pay full price. They’re expensive, so getting them on sale is a better idea. Still, I think they’re worth a few hundred bucks, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. I chose a loud pair, but a low-key version would also look great.
Discount sources?
Check out my list below. I had a perfect experience with GGoose.org, so I think they’re a great option.

Where could someone find a pair like yours?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!
I ordered them on April 28th and they were delivered by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast – definitely a bonus
What’s the going rate?
When I grabbed my pair in April, I paid just under $390, but their regular price is around $514.
You can expect to pay between $410 and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
Are they true to size?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a EU 36. Since they don’t stretch and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
Are they comfortable?
Very comfy, and only took a few hours to break in.
How do they perform over time?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they still look great. 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.
