Golden Goose

[baxa17]

Any thoughts on the older v star style (which I can find online) vs the Francy? Comfort, fit, look? I'm a true size 6 and was assuming I should go with a 36?

I have a pair and they're comfortable. I traveled with them where I have to walk a lot and no issue. I do think the Slides are more comfortable, the hidden wedge is a bit higher, thus feel more padded.

I size down in both of these styles (I wear 37 in IM and usually 6 in everything. I wear a 35 in these and there's plenty of room)

Thanks! I was able to try on the francy style in size 36 and found them really uncomfortable in back - the upper heel area was just way too hard and felt like I wouldn't be able to walk far at all without being in pain. [emoji53] I ordered the vstars but had to send them back because without the zip they were just too much of a pain to get on easily. I then ordered a pair of slides I loved the color of during the yoox thanksgiving weekend promo which would have been a relative steal except they sent the wrong size - twice! [emoji36] so now I've gone and ordered another pair of slides from fwrd- fingers crossed. [emoji6] I suppose if they're a bit big I can always put an insole into them...

Arrhghghgh!! Let this be a warning that you should ALWAYS heed the advice of PurseForum members! I had wanted to order a pair of Slides a few months ago and asked for sizing help here. It was suggested to get the Slides in a 36 since I wear a 36.5 in Vince sneakers and 36 in Givenchy.

Well, the company I had ordered from sent me a different GG style in a 37 and they fit fine, so, when I went to order Slides again during Black Friday, I figured why not a 37 as well. They are HUGE! I look like I am a little kid wearing my mothers shoes. Now I have to send them back and I hope they can re-send the same pair and I won't have to pay anything above the Black Friday price I paid.

So sad... why does Golden Goose have such mutated sizing???

Yep, GG sizing is everywhere.
Slides are REALLY wide in the toe and forefoot. My first pair in size 38 looked like clown shoes on my feet. I exchanged them for size 37. Now I've just received a Black Friday pair of Slides in size 36 (the 37s weren't on sale) and they're great, my perfect size in Slides.
Good luck with your exchange

No go on the exchange, so, to repurchase the correct size would mean a rather steep increase from the BF price I paid. Oh well, if I had been smarter I would have ordered two sizes and just sent back the one that didn't fit. I have had NO luck with Golden Goose sneakers lately

That sucks, but I bet you'll find a pair at the BF price or cheaper later in the season. Let us know if we can help you find the pair you want.

Boo on the lack of exchange. 🙁 I've finally found my perfect GGs. My slides from FWRD came today, and it looks like the fourth time's the charm. I agree that they're wide in the toe area, but that feels comfy to me, and I think if I sized down to a 35 they would still be wide, just too short. I just love the mix of materials and textures on these [emoji7]

I know, I am wondering if a 35 would be better for me as well in the Slides from the 37. However, yeah... what if its TOO snug/short then. What a crazy difference in sizing! The 37 May style was almost snug and the Slides were so loose that when I walked my feet kept coming out

I guess if there's a good return policy when you find ones you like order both to compare? And you can always add an insole to a slightly big shoe, nothing you can really do the other way around. It might also depend on which slides you get. I'm a true size 6 and have even sized down to a 35 in brands that run large and the 36 in the slides I just got seem right to me. Again, wide, but not too long. 🤔

Good news! I wound up finding them on Farfetch (unfortunately, this style wasn't on Forward,) and with the free shipping today, it actually will cost less than the price I paid with the Black Friday discount. It's my first time ordering with them, so, crossing my fingers

BTW, love these GG sneakers! I will say, I was really impressed with how thick and substantial the Slides felt. The Mays are thinner and very light - very much a warm weather/tennis show kinda vibe. The Slides almost feel like they are worth what the sneakers cost retail

Well, here they are! Direct from Italy

Farfetch/DHL shipped super fast and while not as beautifully packaged as the pair I got from thecorner.com, it would up costing less and the size 36 Slides fit much better than the 37. In a way, they are almost a little snug in the foot- so crazy!

Hi, has anyone had any issues with their glitter slides with the glitter falling off? I have a pair of metallic slides, which I love but some of the metallic parts have cracked and peeled off after <6 months of wear. TIA!!
