I’m Isabella Littleford—a professional fashion insider who’s spent years diving deep into where designer taste meets day-to-day life.
With over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, I’ve had the honor 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 exceptional quality, innovative design, and timeless appeal. There’s something endlessly fascinating about Golden Goose sneakers, a brand that perfectly combines a distressed, lived-in vibe with impeccable high-end craftsmanship. Here, I’ll walk you through my thoughts on different Superstar models, 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. Let’s explore what makes these sneakers a standout choice!
Not too long ago, I picked up my first-ever pair of Golden Goose sneakers (you might remember seeing them in a recent 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 variety of other factors about them, which you’ll see golden goose on sale women broken down further.
So I’m diving into a bunch of frequently asked questions, as well as where to score deals on them, just ahead! Also, if you’re in the mood for more fashion reviews, take a look at my comparison of Abercrombie and Agolde jean shorts, Goyard St. Louis GM Tote review, and thoughts on the Dudley Stephens fleece pullover!
Where can I find Golden Goose sneakers?
Cettire had them on sale and I jumped on it right away!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast which was a major plus
How much do they cost?
I picked them up for $385.43, though they usually go for around $513.91.
These sneakers typically range from $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how detailed they are.
Are they true to size?
They ran true to size for me — I usually wear a size 6, and I went with a EU 36.
They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up a size
Are they comfortable?
They felt good right away. I recommend wearing no-shows, especially since they help with airflow. They’re made with real Italian leather, so it’s much more comfortable than breaking in fake leather. Also, they’re already distressed so your feet just adjust easily.
How do they perform over time?
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. No glitter has fallen off, and the structure feels strong. 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 wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose still come out on top. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds a little height — making your legs look longer. Also, 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 on sale is smarter. Still, I think they’re worth a few hundred bucks, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. I went bold with sparkle, but a minimalist version would also look great.

How does the sizing run?
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 choose the larger option.
How comfy are they?
They felt good right away. I recommend wearing no-shows, especially since my feet get sweaty. They’re made with real Italian leather, so it’s much more pleasant than breaking in fake leather. Also, they’re already softened so your feet just get comfortable fast.
Do they hold up well?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they’ve held up beautifully. No glitter has fallen off, and the structure feels strong.
Because they already look worn, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
