Just saw this on their stories. I would contact the store to get more photos I know that they are reputable
Twice the style is the store.

Thank you! I think I’m going to keep them as I’m a big black & white fan and I can’t beat the immediate comfort of this pair.
Hope you’re enjoying your leopard pair (or at least as soon as the snow dissipates)!
I don't have any Warrens, but, I do have four pairs of Vince skate shoes (Prestons? Blairs? Not sure of the names...) Between the buttery soft leather and marshmallow-y insoles, they are indeed amazingly comfortableI also love that due to the supple leather, they conform to the top of the foot and seem to stay on more securely than any other skate shoe brand I own.
By contrast, I keep willing my flashy Golden Goose sneakers to be even half as easy and comfortable to wearMaybe if I wear them enough times? Here's hoping....
You’ve hit the nail on the head about the comfort and them staying securely on your feet! I’ve found these suede V Star 2’s to be out-of-the-box comfy unlike my leather Superstars. But still love the look of the latter. The things we do for love...
Hahaha I wish, but sadly no. Minneapolis’ streets are a mix between swimming pool and ice rink right now. It’s been truly delightful.
This is great to know! Maybe sometime I’ll give the V star and the Vince styles a try... I really don’t think GGs are the most comfortable sneakers out there, unfortunately. They are the most unique, though, in my opinion, so... you win, you lose, whatever the saying is.
Yes! Stance socks are the only no show socks that actually stay and don’t move for me. I probably have close to 30 pairs of them. TJ Maxx gets them in for $3.99 and I scoop them all up!
Regarding authentication, what are the main things to look for when spotting a fake? I have SS and Slides that were purchased from Neiman's and Italist and have tried to really pay attention and compare them to GG's I see in second hand online websites, like Poshmark. My daughter has purchased two pair on Posh that we had authenticated before purchase--one of them here--but I am always scared to pull the trigger when I am not sure. I've had my eye on a few Slides but the insole looks different from mine. The letters SLIDE are typeset different--spacing and font. That is just one thing that caught my eye. Some of the ones I really want to add to my collection are older styles or are still full price.
Have you pro authenticators every put out a list of red flags to look for? I know we are all super busy so sometimes getting an authentication can't happen super fast. I'd love to hone my skills in spotting fakes.
Also, if anyone ever decides to part ways with the Camo (green traditional camo) SS in a 37 or 38, hit me up!!Were these an Intermix private EDT? They still have them but I can't bring myself to paying full price.
Can't help you with the authentication thing, though @sinyard sure will be able to.
I'm almost positive the camo ones were not a private edit. Actually, scratch that, I am positive they weren't.
I've seen them on a few sites last year (maybe the end of 2017 even), I think Shopbop, Neimans, NAP and Revolve had them at some point.
If memory serves me right, @chiisaibunny owns a pair, she posted a picture.
That’s good to know. I know they are kinda rare but if they weren’t an exclusive, then I can hold Out hope to find a second hand pair! Thanks!
As a beginner collector, I have a whopping two pair. Haha! This is my first pair. Bought from NM last fall. Love them but the sock issue is another story. I can’t go without socks and can’t do the no show as they constantly slide down my foot. I’ve found a pair by Fits that is a low ankle sock that works good enough. ♀️ Slowly adding to my collection, I have the Slide in black with the studs. Absolutely love them. No pic of those yet. Can’t decide what I want next but leaning towards something navy or red. I wish I had gotten the red SS with the cheetah laces.

That about sums up the weather here - not so long ago I saw some adults going around the running track with ice skates on
.I can verify that the V Star 2's are pretty darn comfy. Took them out to Costco today and had zero issues at all (with no-show socks which btw I'd recently bought at Costco). They are by Cole Haan and really stay on the foot. Plus they are thin for warm weather and moisture-wicking.
Get the Living Royal no show socks they really work I have no issues and I’m a size 10 foot
So got my first pair of Golden Goose in kids size since it’s half the price of women’s [emoji23]
