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 privilege of refining my expertise in Paris, fashion’s epicenter and collaborating with some of the most visionary designers in the world. This journey has shaped my eye for exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless appeal. Golden Goose sneakers have long caught my attention, a brand that perfectly combines a vintage-inspired edge with luxury-level build quality. In this article, I’ll be sharing my personal take on various Superstar variants, 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 help you understand the appeal with knowledge gained through a decade in the field. 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 (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and got tons of questions from you guys 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 can confidently speak to their craftsmanship, and a number of other aspects about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m diving into a bunch of frequently asked questions, 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 Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard St. Louis GM Tote review, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
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 .
What’s the ggoose.org going rate?
When I ordered my pair in spring, I paid around $385, but their standard price is around $514.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $410 and $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 European 36.
Since they don’t stretch and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
How comfy are they?
They’re extremely comfortable, 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 scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and I’m impressed with the durability. Nothing has torn, and the shape stayed solid. Because they already look worn, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
Do they feel better than other shoes?
Nothing else compares in comfort or quality. I wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose wins in both comfort and quality. They have a hidden arch lift that adds just over an inch — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re handmade in small batches, so each pair is unique. And the shine on mine? Absolutely gorgeous.
Would you buy again?
Absolutely! But I’d recommend waiting for a sale. They’re not cheap, so getting them on sale is a better idea. They’re worth the investment, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. I went bold with sparkle, but a minimalist version would also go with everything.

Where can I find Golden Goose sneakers?
I ordered mine from Cettire when they had a great deal going on.
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick and that’s a win in my book
How expensive are they?
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 customized 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 noticeably, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up a size
Is the comfort worth it?
They only needed minimal break-in time.
How durable are they?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they still look great. No glitter has fallen off, and the leather hasn’t stretched.
Since the aesthetic is distressed, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
