Hello, I’m Isabella Littleford, a seasoned fashion expert with a profound enthusiasm for exploring the crossroads of high fashion and daily wear.
Having spent more than ten years in fashion, I’ve had the honor of sharpening my skills in Paris—the heart of haute couture and working alongside top-tier global designers. This journey has shaped my eye for luxury-level detail, forward-thinking design, and pieces that last. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a pre-worn character with refined construction and premium materials. In this article, I’ll be sharing my personal take on various Superstar variants, 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 knowledge gained through a decade in the field. Come with me as we unpack what sets these sneakers apart!
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 thought it was time for a full review! I’ve also worn them enough now 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 how to grab them for less, in the sections below! Also, if you’re in the mood for golden goose superstar more fashion reviews, have a scroll through my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and Dudley Stephens fleece review!
Where did you score your pair?
I discovered mine on sale via Cettire and purchased them that way!
I ordered them on April 28th and they were delivered by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
How expensive are they?
Back in April, I managed to get them for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
These sneakers typically range from $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how decked out they are.
How does the sizing run?
I found them to fit true to size, at least for me.
Since they keep their shape and half sizes aren’t available, I’d recommend sizing up.
Is the comfort worth it?
Very comfy, and only took a few hours to break in..
How durable are they?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. 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.
How do they compare to other sneakers?
These are the best sneakers I own. I’ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose wins in both comfort and quality. 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? Absolutely gorgeous.
Are they worth it?
Totally! Just try not to pay full price. They cost a lot, so getting them discounted is smarter. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. Mine have pink glitter, but a minimalist version would also look great.
Where can I find them on sale?
Here are the spots I found most reliable. I had a perfect experience with GGoose.org, so I always recommend starting there.

You can expect to pay between $410 and $1,700 depending on their uniqueness.
How does the sizing run?
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 a size
Are they comfortable?
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 NYC, and they still look great. The laces are intact, and the structure feels strong.
Thanks to the vintage look, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
