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.
Backed by 10+ years in style and design, I’ve had the privilege of honing my craft in Paris, the capital of couture and partnering with renowned design icons worldwide. That experience taught me to recognize luxury-level detail, forward-thinking design, and pieces that last. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a pre-worn character with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. In this article, I’ll be sharing my personal take on various Superstar variants, 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 help you understand the appeal with insights drawn from my years in the fashion trenches. Come with me as we unpack what sets these sneakers apart!
Not too long ago, I picked up my first-ever pair of Golden Goose sneakers (which I originally featured in this post), and have been asked a lot about them ever since. So many that I figured I’d dive in and give you a detailed review! I’ve also worn them enough now that I understand how they really perform, and a variety of other factors about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m diving into a bunch of popular FAQs, 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, take a look at my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard St. Louis GM Tote review, and review of my Dudley Stephens fleece!
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 https://goldengoosemen.net/hi-star-purple.html they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How expensive are they?
When I ordered my pair in spring, I paid $385.43, but their standard price is around $514.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they do run true to size, at least for me.
Since they keep their shape and half sizes aren’t available, I’d recommend sizing up.
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 wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they still look great. The laces are intact, and the shape stayed solid. Because they already look worn, I can’t even tell 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 still come out on top. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds just over an inch — 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? Absolutely gorgeous.
Would you buy again?
Yes! But I’d recommend waiting for a sale. They’re not cheap, so getting them discounted is smarter. Still, I think they’re worth a few hundred bucks, especially if you get a pair you love. I went bold with sparkle, but a neutral version would also go with everything.

Where did you get them?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!

What’s the going rate?
I snagged a pair for $385.43, though they usually go for around $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how detailed they are.
How is the fit?
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 felt good right away. No-show socks help with the break-in period, especially since they reduce sweat. They’re made with real Italian leather, so it’s much more easy than breaking in plastic-based shoes. Plus, they’re already distressed so your feet just adjust easily.
How durable are they?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and I’m impressed with the durability. The laces are intact, and the structure feels strong.
Because they already look worn, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
