Honestly, I love those. So cute! The blush heart is so nice (and I love pink with grey and silver).
The Slides are definitely wider. I actually go down a size in them. I don't know about Francys.
Do the Midstars have a wedge insole? You could try replacing it with a flatter insole to free up some room in the toe area. My toes feel pinched in all my Superstars, so I replaced the insoles with the flat ones from the May style. Ah, so much better. I even use Dr. Scholl insoles cuz I can't be switching insoles on the fly.

For me, the Midstars are tad loose compare to the Superstars which are very snuggly on my feet. Slides were similar fit to the Superstars. Maybe you should try one size bigger.
Thank you for your insight!
I am not sure actually - I have to check if indeed has a wedge insole.
LOL
Your sigh of relief : )
I will check and if it is, try the flat insoles.

Good to know that Slides are similar fit to Superstars.
I can't unfortunately go one size bigger because I have plenty of length at the front and my heels are already quite sloppy at the back especially on my smaller left foot.
Unfortunately I have bunion on my RHS so I need the width but my heels/ ankle are quite thin >>if I may call part of my body that
Hi! I have read this entire thread and I’ve loved everyone’s pictures and information! Thank you for explaining so much about GG and making me feel like I was ready to make my purchase. I’m happy to join the club and just received my first pair! They seem a bit big which is odd because I’m a true 6 and I ordered a 36. The heel slips when I walk, is this normal? I’m wearing a thin sock. I just ordered the 35 so when it arrives I will try it on and make my decision. I’m glad I was able to get both sizes! I ordered from Nordstrom.
I can’t wait to figure out my proper size and wear these shoes! I’m definitely keeping one of them!
Those are so cute! I’m a true size 37 (as opposed to a 7), and find the GGDB 37s to be big. But the 36’s are too small/short.
Thanks for your response! I’m worrying that the 35’s will be too short but at least I’ll have the chance to find out. A 35 miraculously showed up on the Nordstrom site and I quickly ordered it! The shoe seems to be sold out with a random size popping up every now and then.
Do the heels move when you walk in your GG? I saw a few people in the mall wearing the superstars and it looked as if the heel was very loose on them, maybe this is normal? I can’t wait to decide on a size and wear them!
I love all the pictures on this thread!
Congrats on your first pair! They won't be your last.
My heels do slip out slightly due to the high wedge. The back of my foot is sitting pretty close to the top of the shoe and when I flex my foot, my heels come up slightly. That's partly why I prefer to replace the insole with a flatter one. The other reason is I get more space in the toe box; my toes aren't pushed down and forward by the wedge. Some people love the wedge insole, others don't. Everyone's feet are different.
But if the length feels right, don't size down. Nothing worse than wearing a shoe that's too small.
I agree that few things are worse than wearing a shoe that is too small! Especially when you pay a good amount of money for them! Thanks you for explaining that your heels do come up slightly, that makes it seem more normal to me. I love my GG and can’t wait to figure out which size works and start wearing them. Seven more days until I get the 35’s!
Hello! I was hoping you could help! I purchased these men’s black suede francy midstar sneakers, and everything looks absolutely right about them except the star! Did they ever release sneakers with stars that weren’t cut off under a seam? These have a full star. I’ve looked everywhere with no luck.... keeping my fingers crossed that you can help! Thank you!

Just found out Woodbury opened GG store. I was lucky to find my missed pair there. 1 or 2 seasons behind but pretty good stock. Supposed to be 40% off original retail. They told me they will share new stock with me on Google drive & I can just order to be shipped later. Most of the pairs are $260-$450. Here, some of the pairs I considered. Ended up getting the pair with 2 color stars.
