This is exactly what happened to me! If you scroll back a few pages you’ll see this was my exact dilemma. I even gave up on GG, thinking they just weren’t for me, but I admire them so much and gave it another try. I am a 6 in every shoe. Sometimes in Tory Burch flip flops I’ll size up to a 6 1/2 but that’s it, every other time I am a 6. I bought a 36 Superstar GG from Nordstrom and wore them in my house and they were too big. I ordered a 35 and wore them in my home and I was in pain. I gave up.

Then a week passed and I realized I must have a pair of GG, it was no longer fun but an obsession. I ordered a pair on Rue La La in a 36 because the price was really good and I thought what the heck. I wore them without socks and they fit great! I think for me that was the problem, maybe for you too. My toes weren’t loving the no socks so I bought a bunch of toe socks at Target with grips on the bottom and they are the best thing, I think I bought every pair in my local Target. My heel slides up and down but it’s not a problem at all. I even wore them to my daughter’s orientation weekend at college and walked all over and felt great.

Since then I have ordered two more pairs from Farfetch and I’m happy and done. For now! I just love these shoes! And I was never a sneaker person before. They made me feel short but the GG make me feel tall because of the built in wedge. And very stylish!

Thank you for a detailed response! I’m going to try 40 again. Since they’re all individually made, there might be a slight variation. Enjoy yours

Good luck and I hope you get a pair that fits and feels great! I wish someone had told me that the heel slips quite a bit but doesn’t cause a problem. I saw some people in the mall wearing GG and I noticed that their heel slipped as they walked as well. I’m not sure if this happens to everyone and every style but the Superstars do this to me and they’re still super comfortable. Let me know which one you choose!

What toe socks did you end up getting?

I searched the thread and I see a lot of differing opinions. . .
I am interested in the Superstar with croc, I'm usually a 7.5 and there's only an 8 left.
I see some say they run pretty big and others say they're TTS. Opinions?

Hi Swanky, this is a tough one! It’s too bad we can’t always try them on in the store! I love the ones you ordered. I’m thinking you’ll be a 38 because they tell you to size up but you won’t really know until you try them on.
I am a 6 and wear the 36’s. They’re a tiny bit big on me but the 35’s pinched my toes badly. I am loving having lots of space for my toes in the 36’s and now I have a few pairs. (The purse forum will do that to you as you know.)
Good luck and let us know which ones you decide to keep and how they fit!! You will definitely love them!

Thanks! I tried some Superstars on at NM today and he said they’re 8’s so I have these on their way! I hope they fit, I need that shade of green for game days!

I have a pair with glitter (superstar) and they are holding up beautifully. I have read about other people’s experiences with the glittery GG and all the reviews I’ve seen have been good. The glitter seems so tight and packed onto the shoe (for lack of a better description) and I can’t imagine it coming off. I figure it if does I’ll take my shoes for a repair but nothing has fallen off or scraped off yet! I am very happy with mine. I hope you’re happy with yours too!

Thank you for the good word. I’ve gone a little crazy lately with these shoes. I may post about it, but in any case I bought a pair of silver glitter, gray and blue SS from Neiman’s but am going to return them because a pair of silver (less glittery) MidStars panned out (that aren’t returnable and what I really wanted). At least at this point I can’t have two pair of silvery Golden Goose Sneakers.
