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 beauty and practicality merge.
With over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, I’ve had the amazing opportunity of honing my craft in Paris, the capital of couture and working alongside top-tier global designers. Those years gave me a clear lens for spotting luxury-level detail, forward-thinking design, and pieces that last. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that seamlessly blends a vintage-inspired edge with luxury-level build quality. Here, I’ll walk you through my thoughts on different Superstar models, diving into their style, comfort, and versatility.
Whether you’re a die-hard sneaker collector or simply looking to inject a bit of chic into your wardrobe, 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!
Not too long ago, I picked up my first-ever pair of Golden Goose sneakers (and shared them first in this post!), and received a number of questions about them since then. So many that I thought it was time for a full review! I’ve also had them long enough that I feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a bunch of related details about them, which you’ll find explored in this post.
So I’m answering a bunch of common questions, as well luxury sneakers for men as how to grab them for less, below! Also, if you’re looking for more of my recent reviews, take a look at my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and review of my Dudley Stephens fleece!
Where can I find Golden Goose sneakers?
I grabbed mine from Cettire when they had a solid deal going on.
I ordered them on April 28th and they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the shipping was really quick which was a major plus
What’s the going rate?
I picked them up for $385.43, though they usually retail for around $513.91.
You can expect to pay between $410 and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
Do they fit as expected?
I’d say they fit true to size, based on my pair.
They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up
Is the comfort worth it?
They required minimal break-in time..
How do they perform over time?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. 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.
How do they compare to other sneakers?
Nothing else compares in comfort or quality. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose wins in both comfort and quality. They have a hidden arch lift that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re not mass-produced, so each pair is one of a kind. And the glitter on mine? Next-level.
Would you recommend them?
Yes! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They’re expensive, so getting them on sale is smarter. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you find a style that suits you. I chose a loud pair, but a neutral version would also go with everything.
Discount sources?
Scroll down for my go-to sources. I had a perfect experience with GGoose.org, so I always recommend starting there.

Where did you end up buying them?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were delivered by April 30th, so the shipping was super fast – definitely a bonus
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 $410 and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
How is the fit?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a European 36. They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up a size
How comfy are they?
Very comfy, and only took a few hours to break in.
How durable are they?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they’ve held up beautifully. 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.
