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 high style fits into everyday living.
With over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, I’ve had the privilege of refining my expertise in Paris, fashion’s epicenter 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. Golden Goose sneakers have long caught my attention, 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, highlighting their aesthetics, practicality, and adaptability.
Whether you’re a die-hard sneaker collector or simply looking to inject a bit of chic into your wardrobe, I’m here to offer you expert insights with advice shaped by my industry experience. Let’s dive into why Golden Goose sneakers deserve a spot in your lineup!
Not too long ago, I picked up my first-ever pair of Golden Goose sneakers (and shared them first in this post!), and have been asked a lot about them ever since. So many that I decided it was finally time to do a full write-up! I’ve also had them long enough 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 diving into a survey on Golden Goose a bunch of popular FAQs, as well as where to score deals on them, just ahead! Also, if you’re in the mood for more fashion reviews, have a scroll through my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and thoughts on the Dudley Stephens fleece pullover!
Where can I find a pair like yours?
I found mine on sale via Cettire and purchased them that way!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were at my door by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
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 decked out they are.
How is the fit?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a EU 36.
They haven’t stretched at all, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up
Are they comfortable?
Honestly, they feel great, 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 getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. Nothing has torn, and the structure feels strong. Because they already look worn, I don’t really notice 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 are just on another level. They include a built-in arch bump that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is custom-feeling. And the glitter on mine? Absolutely gorgeous.
Would you recommend them?
Totally! But I’d recommend waiting for a sale. They’re expensive, so getting them with a promo is worth it. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you get a pair you love. Mine have pink glitter, but a neutral version would also be smart.

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 at my door by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast which was a major plus
What’s the price?
I snagged a pair for $385.43, though they usually go for around $513.91.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and seventeen hundred depending on their design features.
How is the fit?
They’re true to size in my experience, at least for me. They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up a size
Is the comfort worth it?
Very comfy, and only took a few hours to break in.
How durable are they?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and I’m impressed with the durability. Nothing has torn, and the leather hasn’t stretched.
Thanks to the vintage look, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
