Hello, I’m Isabella Littleford, a veteran in the fashion space with a deep-rooted passion for uncovering the magic where luxury meets everyday style.
Backed by 10+ years in style and design, I’ve had the privilege of sharpening my skills in Paris—the heart of haute couture and partnering with renowned design icons worldwide. Those years gave me a clear lens for spotting high-caliber craftsmanship, fresh concepts, and enduring style. I’ve always been captivated by Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a pre-worn character with refined construction and premium materials. Here, I’ll walk you through my thoughts on different Superstar models, exploring their design language, wearability, and wardrobe potential.
Whether you obsess over every new drop or just want a reliable fashion-forward pair, I’m here to offer you expert insights 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 (which I originally featured in this post), and have been asked a lot about them ever since. So many that I figured I’d dive in and give you a detailed review! I’ve also had them long enough 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 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, check out my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard St. Louis GM Tote review, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where did you end up buying them?
I grabbed mine from Cettire when they had a solid deal going goldengoosesneakers.shoes on.
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was super fast which was a major plus
What’s the going rate?
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 uniqueness.
How does the sizing run?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a European 36.
They haven’t stretched at all, so if you’re in the middle, 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?
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. The laces are intact, and the shape stayed solid. Because they already look worn, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
How are they vs. other brands?
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? Next-level.
Would you buy again?
Absolutely! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They’re expensive, so getting them on sale is a better idea. Still, I think they’re worth a few hundred bucks, especially if you find a style that suits you. Mine have pink glitter, but a neutral version would also be smart.

How expensive are they?
Back in April, I managed to get them for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
You can expect to pay between four hundred bucks and $1,700 depending on their design features.
Are they true to size?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a European 36. They haven’t stretched at all, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up
How comfy are they?
Honestly, they feel great, and only took a few hours to break in.
Do they hold up well?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. No glitter has fallen off, and the shape stayed solid.
Because they already look worn, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
