I find the superstar extremely comfy to the point that I just cannot even imagine wearing any other trainers. Even more comfy than my Gucci Ace, which I always found effortless.

I tried on the ballstar in the store and I found it equally comfortable, but I don't like the more 'sporty' look. I loved the pink colourway but my husband completely disliked the shoes.

So I got a new pair of yellow SS instead

Prefer the ball star, but I just replaced the super star insole with a birkenstock one, and it’s much more comfy.

I experiment with different insoles all the time though

That is brilliant! Off to google insoles now...

Greetings and salutations.

I just purchased a pair of what I hope are authentic GG Francy glitter high tops from an estate sale that would lead me to believe they are "real"...

I tried to authenticate in the shoe forum, but alas they do not do sneakers.

Is this a forum you kind folks might help me determine this? Also, is it silly for a 50 something to wear glitter high tops?? Not asking for a friend.

We can't authenticate here, I know there's FB groups that can help, but they can't be linked here.

No worries - thanks anyway!

I think they’re cute and bet you will get a lot of compliments. If it fits your style then rock them - age is just a number.

They look right but I am not an expert.
But I just wanted to add that they are cute and of course it's not silly to wear them whatever your age is. You just have to wear whatever you want, regardless of your age.
They are totally cute.

I've just got my first ballstar, it joined my 3 superstars.

The ballstar is a little bigger fit than the superstar and I am sort of regretting not sizing down to make it a little snugger & lessen the feeling my feet are slipping out. The reason I went for the bigger size is that I find these shoes look better on longer feet, specifically like seeing men wearing them. But I should've got a size smaller really.

Comfort - I find the ballstar equally comfortable to the superstars I have. It feels a little different on the feet, almost as if there would be an elevation underneath my outer feet, if that makes sense. It was a little odd to start with. But for me both superstar and ballstar is comfy straight out of the shoe-box.

GG newbie here....I resisted for sooo long but finally caved. Just got these Slides from Shopbop private edition. I love the neutral colors and studs. Perfect for spring and summer. Now I think I need the black pair too.
