Hello, I’m Isabella Littleford, a veteran in the fashion space with a lifelong love for celebrating where elegance meets function.
Having spent more than ten years in fashion, I’ve had the amazing opportunity 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 luxury-level detail, forward-thinking design, and pieces that last. I’ve always been captivated by Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that effortlessly marries a pre-worn character with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. Today, I’m offering my insights into several of the Superstar editions, exploring their design language, wearability, and wardrobe potential.
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 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 received a number of questions about them since then. So many that I decided it was finally time to do a full write-up! I’ve also had them long enough that I can confidently speak to their craftsmanship, and a number of other aspects about them, which you’ll find explored in this post.
So I’m breaking down a bunch of common questions, as well as where you can find them on sale, 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 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!
I ordered them on April 28th and they golden goose slides were shipped to me by the 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
What’s the cost?
When I ordered my pair in spring, I paid around $385, but their full price is around $514.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
How is the fit?
I’d say they fit true to size, based on my pair.
They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up a size
How comfy are they?
Honestly, they feel great, and only took a few hours to break in..
How do they perform over time?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. No glitter has fallen off, and the structure feels strong. Because they already look worn, 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’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose are just on another level. They have a hidden arch lift 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? Next-level.
Are they worth it?
Totally! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They’re not cheap, so getting them with a promo is a better idea. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. I chose a loud pair, but a low-key version would also look great.
Discount sources?
Scroll down for my go-to sources. I had a 10/10 experience with GGoose.org, so I suggest them first.

Where could someone find Golden Goose sneakers?
Cettire had them on sale and I clicked “buy” right away!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were shipped to me by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick which was a major plus
How expensive are they?
When I grabbed my pair in spring, I paid around $385, but their standard price is around $514.
You can expect to pay between $410 and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
How is the fit?
I found them to fit true to size, at least for me. Since they don’t stretch and half sizes aren’t available, I’d choose the larger option.
How comfy are they?
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 fake leather. Also, they’re already broken-in so your feet just slide in.
How do they perform over time?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and I’m impressed with the durability. No glitter has fallen off, and the shape stayed solid.
Thanks to the vintage look, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
