My name is Isabella Littleford, and I bring over a decade of behind-the-scenes know-how in the world of fashion, always with a focus on how high style fits into everyday living.
Having spent more than ten years in fashion, I’ve had the privilege of honing my craft in Paris, the capital of couture and partnering with renowned design icons worldwide. Those years gave me a clear lens for spotting exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless appeal. Golden Goose sneakers have long caught my attention, a brand that effortlessly marries a vintage-inspired edge with refined construction and premium materials. Today, I’m offering my insights into several of the Superstar editions, 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 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 (and shared them first in this 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 feel like I have a good https://www.ggoose.org/product-category/woman/ grip on their quality, and a number of other aspects 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 interested in more try-ons and reviews, check out my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and thoughts on the Dudley Stephens fleece pullover!
Where were you able to get your pair?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
How much do they cost?
I picked them up for $385.43, though they usually retail for around $513.91.
These sneakers typically range from $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how embellished they are.
How does the sizing run?
I found them to fit true to size, at least for me.
They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up a size
Is the comfort worth it?
They felt good almost immediately. I wear no-show socks with them, especially since my feet get sweaty. Top-quality leather, so it’s much more pleasant than breaking in fake leather. Plus, they’re already distressed so your feet just get comfortable fast.
Do they hold up well?
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. Nothing has torn, and the leather hasn’t stretched. Because they already look worn, 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 love my Vejas and Tretorns, but Golden Goose are just on another level. There’s a secret wedge inside 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 sparkle on mine? Next-level.
Are they worth it?
Totally! Just try not to pay full price. They cost a lot, so getting them on sale is worth it. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. Mine have pink glitter, but a neutral version would also go with everything.
Discount sources?
Here are the spots I found most reliable. I had a amazing experience with GGoose.org, so I always recommend starting there.

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 delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How much do they cost?
When I grabbed my pair in spring, I paid around $385, but their full price is around $514.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and $1,700 depending on their uniqueness.
How does the sizing run?
I found them to fit true to size, at least for me. They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up a size
How comfy are they?
They’re extremely comfortable, and only took a few hours to break in.
How durable are they?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. Nothing has torn, and the leather hasn’t stretched.
Since the aesthetic is distressed, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
