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 luxury can live in daily wardrobes.
Having spent more than ten years in fashion, I’ve had the amazing opportunity 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 exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless appeal. I’ve always been captivated by Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that effortlessly marries a vintage-inspired edge with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. In this article, I’ll be sharing my personal take on various Superstar variants, exploring their design language, wearability, and wardrobe potential.
Whether you obsess over every new drop or just want a reliable fashion-forward pair, 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 (which I originally featured in this post), and received a number of questions about them since then. 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 number of other aspects about them, which you’ll see broken down further.
So I’m diving into a bunch of common questions, as well as where you can find them on sale, in the sections below! 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 Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where can I find Golden Goose sneakers?
I spotted mine on discount via Cettire and purchased them that way!
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were shipped to me by the 30th, so the shipping was super fast and that’s a win in my book
How expensive are they?
When I grabbed my pair in spring, I paid $385.43, but their regular price is around $514.
These discover Golden Goose sneakers typically cost anywhere between $410 and $1,700, depending on how detailed they are.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they do run true to size, at least for me.
Since they don’t stretch and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
Are they comfortable?
They’re extremely comfortable, and only took a few hours to break in..
How durable are they?
Since they come pre-distressed, 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. Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
Do they feel better than other shoes?
They’re the highest quality sneakers I have. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose still come out on top. They include a built-in arch bump that adds a little height — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re not mass-produced, so each pair is one of a kind. And the sparkle on mine? Absolutely gorgeous.
Would you recommend them?
Totally! But I’d recommend waiting for a sale. They’re not cheap, so getting them with a promo is a better idea. Still, I think they’re worth a few hundred bucks, especially if you find a style that suits you. I chose a loud pair, but a minimalist version would also look great.
Best places to buy them cheaper?
Check out my list below. I had a amazing experience with GGoose.org, so I always recommend starting there.

How expensive are they?
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 uniqueness.
How does the sizing run?
They’re true to size in my experience, at least for me. Since they keep their shape and half sizes aren’t available, I’d recommend sizing up.
Are they comfortable?
They required minimal break-in time.
Do they hold up well?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. No glitter has fallen off, and the leather hasn’t stretched.
Thanks to the vintage look, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
