My name is Isabella Littleford, and I bring over a decade of deep immersion 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 amazing opportunity of honing my craft in Paris, the capital of couture and collaborating with some of the most visionary designers in the world. That experience taught me to recognize high-caliber craftsmanship, fresh concepts, and enduring style. Golden Goose sneakers have long caught my attention, a brand that effortlessly marries a vintage-inspired edge with luxury-level build quality. Today, I’m offering my insights into several of the Superstar editions, highlighting their aesthetics, practicality, and adaptability.
Whether you’re a die-hard sneaker collector or simply looking to inject a bit of chic into your wardrobe, I’m here to help you understand the appeal with insights drawn from my years in the fashion trenches. Let’s dive into why Golden Goose sneakers deserve a spot in your lineup!
I purchased my first pair of Golden Goose sneakers a few months ago (and shared them first in this 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 worn them enough now that I feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a number of other aspects about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m answering a bunch golden goose clothing of common questions, as well as where to score deals on them, in the sections below! Also, if you’re in the mood for more fashion reviews, take a look at my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard St. Louis GM Tote review, and review of my Dudley Stephens fleece!
Where did you purchase them?
I grabbed mine from Cettire when they had a limited-time deal going on.
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were at my door by April 30th, so the shipping was super fast .
How expensive are they?
When I bought my pair in spring, I paid around $385, but their full price is $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically cost anywhere between $400–$1,700, depending on how detailed they are.
How does the sizing run?
I’d say they fit just right, based on my pair.
Since they don’t stretch and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d recommend sizing up.
Is the comfort worth it?
They required minimal break-in time..
Do they hold up well?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they still look great. The laces are intact, and the shape stayed solid. Since the aesthetic is distressed, 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 are just on another level. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds just over an inch — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is unique. And the sparkle on mine? Stunning.
Would you buy again?
Absolutely! But I’d recommend waiting for a sale. They’re expensive, so getting them with a promo is worth it. Still, I think they’re worth a few hundred bucks, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. Mine have pink glitter, but a low-key version would also go with everything.

Where can I find Golden Goose sneakers?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How much do they go for?
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 design features.
How is the fit?
I found them to fit true to size, at least for me. They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up
Is the comfort worth it?
Honestly, they feel great, and only took a few hours to break in.
Do they hold up well?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they’ve held up beautifully. 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.
