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 high style fits into everyday living.
Having spent more than ten years in fashion, I’ve had the privilege of sharpening my skills in Paris—the heart of haute couture and working alongside top-tier global designers. That experience taught me to recognize luxury-level detail, forward-thinking design, and pieces that last. I’ve always been captivated by Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a pre-worn character with refined construction and premium materials. 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. Come with me as we unpack what sets these sneakers apart!
I purchased my first pair of Golden Goose sneakers a few months ago (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and got tons of questions from you guys 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 golden goose sneakers feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a bunch of related details about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m answering a bunch of popular FAQs, as well as how to grab them for less, just ahead! Also, if you’re interested in more try-ons and reviews, take a look at my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where were you able to get your pair?
Cettire had them on sale and I jumped on it right away!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was super fast which was a major plus
How expensive are they?
Back in April, I found a deal for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
You can expect to pay between $410 and seventeen hundred depending on their level of detail.
How does the sizing run?
They’re true to size in my experience, at least for me.
They haven’t stretched at all, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up
Are they comfortable?
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 wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and I’m impressed with the durability. No glitter has fallen off, and the structure feels strong. Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
How are they vs. other brands?
They’re the highest quality sneakers I have. I wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose still come out on top. They include a built-in arch bump that adds just over an inch — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is custom-feeling. And the glitter on mine? Stunning.
Would you buy again?
Yes! Just try not to pay full price. They cost a lot, so getting them with a promo is a better idea. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you get a pair you love. I went bold with sparkle, but a neutral version would also look great.
