Hello, I’m Isabella Littleford, a seasoned fashion expert with a profound enthusiasm for uncovering the magic where luxury meets everyday style.
Backed by 10+ years in style and design, I’ve had the honor of honing my craft in Paris, the capital of couture and partnering with renowned design icons worldwide. Those years gave me a clear lens for spotting exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless appeal. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a pre-worn character with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. In this article, I’ll be sharing my personal take on various Superstar variants, diving into their style, comfort, and versatility.
Whether you obsess over every new drop or just want a reliable fashion-forward pair, I’m here to guide you through it all with knowledge gained through a decade in the field. Come with me as we unpack what sets these sneakers apart!
I purchased my first pair of Golden Goose sneakers a few months ago (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 worn them enough now that I can confidently speak to their craftsmanship, and a number of other aspects about them, which you’ll see me go more into detail about.
So I’m answering a bunch of popular FAQs, as well as where to score deals on them, 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 did you end up buying them?
Cettire had them on sale and I clicked “buy” right away!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
How much do they cost?
When I bought my pair in spring, I paid just under $390, but their standard price is around $514.
These sneakers typically cost anywhere between $410 and $1,700, depending on how decked out they are.
Do they fit as expected?
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 between sizes, I’d go up a size

Are they comfortable?
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 comfortable than breaking in synthetic materials. Plus, they’re already broken-in so your feet just adjust easily.
How do they perform over time?
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. Nothing has torn, and the leather hasn’t stretched. Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
Do they feel better than other shoes?
They’re the highest quality sneakers I have. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose still come out on top. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds a little height — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re crafted individually, 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 expensive, so getting them discounted is smarter. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you get a pair you love. I went bold with sparkle, but a neutral version would also look great.
