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 high style fits into everyday living.
With over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, I’ve had the privilege of sharpening my skills in Paris—the heart of haute couture and partnering with renowned design icons worldwide. That experience taught me to recognize exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless appeal. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a vintage-inspired edge with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. Today, I’m offering my insights into several of the Superstar editions, highlighting their aesthetics, practicality, and adaptability.
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 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 (and shared them first in this post!), and have been asked a lot about them ever since. So many that I decided it was finally time to do a full write-up! I’ve also had them long enough that I understand how they really perform, and a number of other aspects about them, which you’ll find explored in this post.
So I’m answering a bunch of frequently asked questions, as well as where you can find them on sale, below! Also, if you’re in the mood for more fashion reviews, have a scroll through my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where could someone find Golden Goose sneakers?
I grabbed mine from Cettire when they had a solid deal going on.
Placed my order on the 28th of April and they were at my door by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast which was a major plus
How expensive are they?
Back in April, I managed to get them for $385.43 instead of paying the grey goose shoes full $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $400–$1,700, depending on how detailed 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.
Since they keep their shape and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d recommend sizing up.
Are they comfortable?
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 scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they still look great. The laces are intact, and the leather hasn’t stretched. Because they already look worn, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
Do they feel better than other shoes?
These are the best sneakers I own. I love my Vejas and Tretorns, but Golden Goose wins in both comfort and quality. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds just over an inch — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re handmade in small batches, so each pair is unique. And the glitter on mine? Stunning.
Would you buy again?
Yes! Just try not to pay full price. They’re expensive, so getting them discounted is smarter. They’re worth the investment, especially if you get a pair you love. I went bold with sparkle, but a low-key version would also be smart.
Best places to buy them cheaper?

Where could someone find a pair like yours?
I ordered mine from Cettire when they had a limited-time deal going on.
I ordered them on April 28th and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick – definitely a bonus
How much do they cost?
When I ordered my pair in April, I paid $385.43, but their regular price is around $514.
You can expect to pay between $410 and seventeen hundred depending on their uniqueness.
How is the fit?
They’re true to size in my experience, at least for me. Since they keep their shape and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
Are they comfortable?
They’re extremely comfortable, 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 the city, and I’m impressed with the durability. The laces are intact, and the shape stayed solid.
Thanks to the vintage look, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
