My name is Isabella Littleford, and I bring over a decade of deep immersion 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 honor of sharpening my skills in Paris—the heart of haute couture and collaborating with some of the most visionary designers in the world. That experience taught me to recognize high-caliber craftsmanship, fresh concepts, and enduring style. I’ve always been captivated by Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that effortlessly marries a vintage-inspired edge with refined construction and premium materials. Here, I’ll walk you through my thoughts on different Superstar models, 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 guide you through it all with insights drawn from my years in the fashion trenches. Let’s dive into why Golden Goose sneakers deserve a spot in your lineup!
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 had them long enough that I feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a number of other aspects about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m answering a bunch of frequently asked questions, as well as where you can find them on sale, just golden goose sneaker ahead! Also, if you’re in the mood for more fashion reviews, have a scroll through my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard St. Louis GM Tote review, and thoughts on the Dudley Stephens fleece pullover!
Where did you purchase them?
I grabbed mine from Cettire when they had a great deal going on.
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were shipped to me by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How much do they go for?
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 $1,700 depending on their level of detail.
Are they true to size?
I’d say they fit true to size, based on my pair.
Since they don’t stretch and half sizes aren’t available, I’d recommend sizing up.
How comfy are they?
Honestly, they feel great, and only took a few hours to break in..
How durable are they?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and I’m impressed with the durability. 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.
How do they compare to other sneakers?
They’re the highest quality sneakers I have. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose wins in both comfort and quality. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is custom-feeling. And the shine on mine? Stunning.
Would you buy again?
Totally! Just try not to pay full price. They cost a lot, so getting them discounted is a better idea. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you find a style that suits you. I went bold with sparkle, but a neutral version would also look great.
Where can I find them on sale?
Here are the spots I found most reliable. I had a amazing experience with GGoose.org, so I think they’re a great option.

Where did you buy them?
I ordered mine from Cettire when they had a solid deal going on.
Placed my order on April 28th and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was super fast – definitely a bonus
How expensive are they?
Back in April, I found a deal for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
These sneakers typically range from $400–$1,700, depending on how detailed 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. They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up
Are they comfortable?
They felt good almost immediately. No-show socks help with the break-in period, especially since my feet get sweaty. Top-quality leather, so it’s much more comfortable than breaking in synthetic materials. Bonus, they’re already broken-in so your feet just adjust easily.
How durable are they?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they’ve held up beautifully. Nothing has torn, and the shape stayed solid.
Thanks to the vintage look, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
