I was there yesterday. Unfortunately, there are no designer sneakers and really no designer shoes at all in the sale this year.

hi! i am planning to purchase golden goose sneakers superstar but can't make up my mind on what size should i get. all my sneakers are size 39 (valentino, givenchy, ysl distressed, alexander mcqueen) and they all fit just fine. should i get the size 39 for the golden goose superstar?
hope someone can help me. thanks in advance!

I sized down and they were still too big. So if you can order 2 sizes and return what doesn’t fit
I bought a bunch of laces off amazon. I swap them on my other sneakers but haven’t pn my GGs yet...can’t find any preworn laces.
I’ve owned a few leopard sneakers from GG, the calf hair version, and I think they’re quite resilient. I never babied them much, never had much trouble with shedding. In fact, I find glitter to be more finicky.
I like them; visually, I wouldn’t say they seem too bulky for me. But when you walk, do you feel they’re clunky? That would be a dealbreaker for me. I never tried any of the platform sneakers, though.
Now, I have to say - the Ball Stars are a favorite of mine, sooooooo......
I like how funky these are!Just got my first pair of golden goose sneakers from the ssense sale! I’m a 6.5-7 usually (I have short wide flat feet), and the size 37 was a perfect fit!
Hah, we have very similar feet. But I’m unfortunately in between a 36 and a 37 in GG, but make do with the bigger size.
They remind me of little turf patches
I bought one more pair as well that’s a little more neutral, which I’ll post pics of once they get here! It’s such a weird size issue with these feet!
Has anyone seen these discounted anywhere recently? They are on farfetch but only in 1-2 sizes (I’m a 37, so mine isn’t included). Thanks!
I am just so obsessed with GG, I think they are the best looking sneaker. I bought a pair of Zadig and Voltaire sneakers and I like them a lot but..... they are not Golden Goose. I seem to be in between sizes in GG and returned the pair I recently bought at Nordstrom because I just couldn’t get the size right. (35 too tight, 36 a bit big)
I was searching on Rue La La and found a cute pair of GG. It was final sale but the price was really good and they had a 36 (one left) and before I knew it I had purchased them. It was late at night which is the worst time for me to shop because I lose all my inhibitions and buy too easily.
Well they arrived and I can’t believe it but they feel great! I have been wearing them with a half sock just covering my toes and they’re perfect! Maybe this style runs smaller, maybe because I can’t return them, I’m not sure but I am so happy with them. They look like rock candy shoes but they’re jelly.
I paid $238 for them but the next day Rue La La raised the price to $295.99. (They only had 35’s left at that time) I find that very odd. My credit card was billed the $238 because that was the price when I bought it thankfully.
Thanks for reading!

Thanks for reading!Yep, that’s something I noticed with GG: sizing varies quite a bit, even across the same style. It’s a bit off-putting, I think.
Next time, maybe you could also try an all-suede pair - from my experience they fit a smidge smaller (I am too between sizes, but opt for the larger because I just can’t stand anything tight).
Worth a shot if you can return them in case they’re no good.
But I’m glad you’re happy with your impulse buy! Enjoy
Hi these look amazing!I;ve determined that Ball Star is my favorite style. So these will be arriving next week

What is sizing like with the ballstars? Are they true to size? Run small? Big? I'm between a 7.5/8 US. Any fit advice will help emensly. Thank you!
*Other gals, please feel free to chime in too!
I’ve never tried them myself though I really like the style. However, from what I heard, they run tts. Also, in comparison to the SS, they are supposed to have a bit more room on the toebox.
