Hello, I’m Isabella Littleford, a seasoned fashion expert with a profound enthusiasm for uncovering the magic where luxury meets everyday style.
Having spent more than ten years in fashion, I’ve had the amazing opportunity of honing my craft in Paris, the capital of couture and working alongside top-tier global designers. That experience taught me to recognize high-caliber craftsmanship, fresh concepts, and enduring style. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that effortlessly marries a distressed, lived-in vibe with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. In this article, I’ll be sharing my personal take on various Superstar variants, diving into their style, comfort, and versatility.
If you’re someone who lives for limited-edition sneakers or just wants a polished casual shoe, I’m here to guide you through it all with knowledge gained through a decade in the field. Let’s explore what makes these sneakers a standout choice!
Not too long ago, I picked up my first-ever pair of Golden Goose sneakers (and shared them first 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 had them long enough 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 answering a bunch of common questions, as well as where you can find them on sale, just ahead! Also, if you’re looking for more of my recent reviews, have a scroll through my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and review of my Dudley Stephens fleece!
Where were you able to get your pair?
Cettire had them on sale and I jumped on it right away!
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were delivered by April 30th, so the shipping was really quick – definitely a bonus
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 embellished they golden goose company are.
How is the fit?
I’d say they fit true to size, based on my pair.
They haven’t stretched at all, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up a size
Is the comfort worth it?
They required minimal break-in time..
How durable are they?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they still look great. The laces are intact, and the structure feels strong. Thanks to the vintage look, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
Do they feel better than other shoes?
Nothing else compares in comfort or quality. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose are just on another level. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is unique. And the shine on mine? Stunning.
Would you recommend them?
Totally! But I’d recommend waiting for a sale. 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 find a style that suits you. Mine have pink glitter, but a minimalist version would also go with everything.

They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a EU 36. They haven’t stretched at all, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up
How comfy are they?
They felt good almost immediately. I recommend wearing no-shows, especially since my feet get sweaty. They’re made with real Italian leather, so it’s much more comfortable than breaking in plastic-based shoes. Plus, they’re already distressed so your feet just adjust easily.
