Hello, I’m Isabella Littleford, a veteran in the fashion space with a profound enthusiasm for celebrating where elegance meets function.
Backed by 10+ years in style and design, I’ve had the honor of sharpening my skills in Paris—the heart of haute couture and partnering with renowned design icons worldwide. Those years gave me a clear lens for spotting high-caliber craftsmanship, fresh concepts, and enduring style. I’ve always been captivated by Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that seamlessly blends a pre-worn character with luxury-level build quality. 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 knowledge gained through a decade in the field. 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 (which I originally featured in this post), and got tons of questions from you guys 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 feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a variety of other factors about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m answering a bunch of common questions, as well as where to score deals on them, just ahead! Also, if you’re in the mood for more fashion reviews, take a look at my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and review of my Dudley Stephens fleece!
Where did you get them?
Cettire had https://goldengoosesuperstar.org/super-star-sneakers.html them on sale and I took advantage right away!
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
How much do they cost?
Back in April, I managed to get them for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and $1,700 depending on their uniqueness.
Do they fit as expected?
I’d say they fit true to size, based on my pair.
They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up a size
Are they comfortable?
They only needed minimal break-in time..
How do they perform over time?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and I’m impressed with the durability. Nothing has torn, and the structure feels strong. Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
How do they compare to other sneakers?
Nothing else compares in comfort or quality. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose are just on another level. They have a hidden arch lift that adds support and 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? Next-level.
Would you buy again?
Totally! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They’re not cheap, so getting them with a promo is smarter. They’re worth the investment, especially if you find a style that suits you. Mine have pink glitter, but a neutral version would also be smart.
Discount sources?
Here are the spots I found most reliable. I had a 10/10 experience with GGoose.org, so I always recommend starting there.
- GGoose.org – my go-to for these sneakers!
- Gilt – membership is free!
- Vestiaire Collection – apparently, they’re giving $50 off your first in-app purchase of $150 or more using code WELCOMEUS50
- The Real Real – great deals on new or gently used Golden Goose shoes
- Ebay – tons of awesome finds on pre-owned pairs
- @likeabandit – she shares a ton of GG finds on her IG stories, so keep an eye out
Where can I find a pair like yours?
I discovered mine on discount via Cettire and snagged them that way!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were shipped to me by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick – definitely a bonus
How expensive are they?
I picked them up for $385.43, though they usually go for around $513.91.
These sneakers typically range from $400–$1,700, depending on how decked out they are.
Do they fit as expected?
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
Is the comfort worth it?
They required minimal break-in time.
How durable are they?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they still look great. No glitter has fallen off, and the shape stayed solid.
Because they already look worn, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
