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 high style fits into everyday living.
With over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, I’ve had the honor of refining my expertise in Paris, fashion’s epicenter and working alongside top-tier global designers. Those years gave me a clear lens for spotting exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless appeal. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that seamlessly blends a vintage-inspired edge with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. Here, I’ll walk you through my thoughts on different Superstar models, diving into their style, comfort, and versatility.
Whether you obsess over every new drop or just want a reliable fashion-forward pair, I’m here to guide you through it all with advice shaped by my industry experience. Let’s dive into why Golden Goose sneakers deserve a spot in your lineup!
I purchased my first pair of Golden Goose sneakers a few months ago (which I originally featured 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 broken them in well that I feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a bunch of related details about them, which you’ll find explored in this post.
So I’m breaking down a bunch of frequently asked questions, as well as where you can find them on sale, in the sections below! Also, if you’re looking for more of my recent reviews, have a scroll through my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard St. Louis GM Tote review, and thoughts on the Dudley Stephens https://goldengooseballstar.org/ball-star-glitter.html fleece pullover!
Where were you able to get your pair?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
How expensive are they?
I picked them up for $385.43, though they usually go for around $513.91.
These sneakers typically cost anywhere between $410 and $1,700, depending on how decked out they are.
Are they true to size?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a EU 36.
They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up a size
Is the comfort worth it?
Very comfy, and only took a few hours to break in..
How do they perform over time?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they still look great. 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?
They’re the highest quality sneakers I have. I wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose still come out on top. They have a hidden arch lift that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re not mass-produced, so each pair is unique. And the glitter on mine? Absolutely gorgeous.
Are they worth it?
Absolutely! But I’d recommend waiting for a sale. They’re expensive, so getting them with a promo is worth it. They’re worth the investment, especially if you get a pair you love. I went bold with sparkle, but a minimalist version would also look great.
Discount sources?
Check out my list below. I had a 10/10 experience with GGoose.org, so I think they’re a great option.

Where could someone find a pair like yours?
I spotted mine on discount via Cettire and bought them that way!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How expensive are they?
Back in April, I found a deal for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $410 and $1,700, depending on how embellished they are.
Are they true to size?
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
How comfy are they?
They’re extremely comfortable, and only took a few hours to break in.
Do they hold up well?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they’ve held up beautifully. Nothing has torn, and the shape stayed solid.
Since the aesthetic is distressed, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
