My name is Isabella Littleford, and I bring over a decade of behind-the-scenes know-how in the world of fashion, always with a focus on how luxury can live in daily wardrobes.
Having spent more than ten years in fashion, I’ve had the privilege of sharpening my skills in Paris—the heart of haute couture and collaborating with some of the most visionary designers in the world. 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 effortlessly marries a distressed, lived-in vibe with refined construction and premium materials. 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 offer you expert insights with knowledge gained through a decade in the field. Let’s explore what makes these sneakers a standout choice!
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 figured I’d dive in and give you a detailed review! I’ve also had them long enough that I feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a number of other aspects about them, which you’ll find explored in this post.
So I’m diving into a bunch of popular FAQs, as well as where you can find them on sale, just ahead! Also, if you’re interested in more try-ons and reviews, have a scroll through my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and review of my Dudley Stephens fleece!
Where could someone find Golden Goose sneakers?
Cettire had them on sale and I clicked “buy” right away!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the shipping was super fast .
How expensive are they?
Back in April, I found a deal for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
These sneakers typically cost anywhere between $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how detailed they are.
How is the fit?
I’d say they fit true to size, based on my pair.
They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go https://greygooseshoes.com/mens-super-star-metal.html up
Are they comfortable?
They required minimal break-in time..
How do they perform over time?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they still look great. Nothing has torn, 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 love my Vejas and Tretorns, but Golden Goose are just on another level. They have a hidden arch lift that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is one of a kind. And the glitter on mine? Next-level.
Are they worth it?
Yes! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They cost a lot, so getting them on sale is smarter. Still, I think they’re worth a few hundred bucks, especially if you get a pair you love. I went bold with sparkle, but a low-key version would also be smart.

Where were you able to get your pair?
I ordered mine from Cettire when they had a great deal going on.
Placed my order on April 28th and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was super fast .
What’s the cost?
I picked them up for $385.43, though they usually go for around $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $410 and $1,700, depending on how customized 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 much, so if you’re in the middle, I’d go up
Is the comfort worth it?
They felt good right away. No-show socks help with the break-in period, especially since they help with airflow. High-end Italian leather construction, so it’s much more comfortable than breaking in fake leather. Also, they’re already broken-in so your feet just slide in.
Do they hold up well?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and I’m impressed with the durability. Nothing has torn, and the shape stayed solid.
Thanks to the vintage look, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
