My name is Isabella Littleford, and I bring over a decade of hands-on experience 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 honor of refining my expertise in Paris, fashion’s epicenter and partnering with renowned design icons worldwide. That experience taught me to recognize high-caliber craftsmanship, fresh concepts, and enduring style. I’ve always been captivated by Golden Goose sneakers, 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.
If you’re someone who lives for limited-edition sneakers or just wants a polished casual shoe, I’m here to help you understand the appeal with advice shaped by my industry experience. Let’s dive into why Golden Goose sneakers deserve a spot in your lineup!
A few months back, I bought my first Golden Goose sneakers (and shared them first in this post!), and got tons of questions from you guys ever since. So many that I thought it was time for a full review! I’ve also broken them in well that I can confidently speak to their craftsmanship, and a bunch of related details about them, which you’ll see broken down further.
So I’m diving into a bunch of popular FAQs, as well as where to score deals on them, just ahead! Also, if you’re looking for more of my recent reviews, check out 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 spotted mine on sale via Cettire and snagged them that way!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were shipped to golden goose black me by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
How much do they cost?
I snagged a pair for $385.43, though they usually retail for around $513.91.
These sneakers typically cost anywhere between $410 and $1,700, depending on how customized they are.
How does the sizing run?
I’d say they fit true to size, based on my pair.
They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up
Are they comfortable?
Honestly, they feel great, and only took a few hours to break in..
Do they hold up well?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they’ve held up beautifully. No glitter has fallen off, and the shape stayed solid. Since the aesthetic is distressed, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
How do they compare to other sneakers?
Nothing else compares in comfort or quality. I wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose are just on another level. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds just over an inch — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re handmade in small batches, so each pair is one of a kind. And the sparkle on mine? Stunning.
Are they worth it?
Totally! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They’re expensive, so getting them discounted 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 low-key version would also look great.
Best places to buy them cheaper?

Where did you buy them?
I spotted mine on discount via Cettire and bought them that way!
I ordered them on April 28th and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How much do they cost?
When I grabbed my pair in spring, I paid around $385, but their regular price is over $500.
You can expect to pay between $410 and $1,700 depending on their uniqueness.
Are they true to size?
They’re true to size in my experience, at least for me. They haven’t stretched at all, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up
Is the comfort worth it?
Very comfy, and only took a few hours to break in.
How durable are they?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they still look great. Nothing has torn, and the leather hasn’t stretched.
Because they already look worn, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
