I’m Isabella Littleford—a professional fashion insider who’s spent years diving deep into where designer taste meets day-to-day life.
Backed by 10+ years in style and design, I’ve had the privilege 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. I’ve always been captivated by Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a vintage-inspired edge with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. Here, I’ll walk you through my thoughts on different Superstar models, 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 offer you expert insights with knowledge gained through a decade in the field. Let’s explore what makes these sneakers a standout choice!
I purchased my first pair of Golden Goose sneakers a few months ago (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and have been asked a lot about them ever since. So many that I thought it was time for a full review! I’ve also broken them in well that I feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a variety of other factors about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m diving into a bunch of frequently asked questions, as well as where you can find them on sale, below! Also, if you’re looking for more of my recent reviews, check out my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where did you score your pair?
I found mine on sale via Cettire and purchased them that way!
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were at my door by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
How much do they cost?
When I ordered my pair in spring, I paid $385.43, but their regular price is over $500.
You can expect to pay between https://goldengooseballstar.org/ball-star-blue.html four hundred bucks and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
How is the fit?
I’d say they fit just right, based on my pair.
They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up a size
Are they comfortable?
Very comfy, and only took a few hours to break in..
How do they perform over time?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over the city, and I’m impressed with the durability. The laces are intact, and the structure feels strong. Because they already look worn, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
Do they feel better than other shoes?
These are the best sneakers I own. I wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose are just on another level. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re not mass-produced, so each pair is one of a kind. And the shine on mine? Stunning.
Would you buy again?
Yes! Though I suggest looking for a deal. 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 get a pair you love. Mine have pink glitter, but a low-key version would also go with everything.
Discount sources?
Here are the spots I found most reliable. I had a 10/10 experience with GGoose.org, so I think they’re a great option.

Where could someone find Golden Goose sneakers?
I spotted mine on discount via Cettire and purchased them that way!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
What’s the cost?
When I grabbed my pair in April, I paid just under $390, but their full price is $513.91.
These sneakers typically range from $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how decked out they are.
Are they true to size?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a EU 36. Since they don’t stretch and half sizes aren’t available, I’d recommend sizing up.
How comfy are they?
Very comfy, 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 I’m impressed with the durability. The laces are intact, and the structure feels strong.
Because they already look worn, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
