Golden Goose

[Swanky]

I need to try these on!! Not sure I can part with my SS just although they're totally not comfortable, I have them in many colors to match the sports teams we love, lol
I love my Ball Stars the most and would love to branch out!

I have finally realized that the Slides are by far my favorite and I am just going to collect Slides from now on! I sold my Superstars because each time I wore them I had sore toes or pain in the bottom of my foot or some other weird thing so I decided to part with them. The Slides are always super comfortable, I can wear them all day and keep a bounce in my step. They never pinch my toes or scrunch my sock down, they are truly perfect.


I bought a new pair of Slides at a Golden Goose Deluxe Brand store and it was nice to buy them in person rather than online. It was funny because this was the exact pair I wanted and it was the only Slide they had in my size so it was meant to be. Why a large Golden Goose store only had one Slide in my size I don’t know but it all worked out!
This is my new pair.

Swanky,try on a Slide and size down (that seems to work for most people) and let me know what you think! I will try a Ball Star next time I visit the GG store. I’ve yet to try a pair! I love the way the Superstars look, that’s what made me love GG, but I’ll have to admire them on others.

Hey y'all! I just picked up my 4th pair of GG. This time I got the gold metallic running shoe form Net-a-porter and I am in LOVE!

Question for those of you that have the running- do they run a little larger than the superstars? I am walking out of the heel a bit, but not enough to size down. I don't have the laces tied, but I'm thinking when I do that will keep me in the shoe.

I love your shoes! They look great on you! I size down in the Running Soles and even then they feel a bit big to me.

Depends on the style and maybe shape of foot. I find the Superstars to fit a little narrow around toe box but slide up/down on my heels, they're not comfy at all imo.
I'm a 7.5 and prefer the 37 typically.
Ball Stars are the comfiest to me.
I have too many pair as DH has decided it's an easy gift to get me prior to sport seasons starting lol!

In general, ITA with @Swanky re sizing and experience of heel slippage. I started sizing up half a size, as per Grace Kelly, and found didn't work for subsequent superstar models. I am a half size and sized down to 37 in the Superstar. However, I tried on multiple styles and sizes of the Superstar, and found different fabrications to run slightly differently in length and volume of foot. (there were no ball stars available in my sizes)

In Superstar black bluette net, (my favorite) Im a 38. Ideally i'd take a 37.5, so I'll do a 38 bc its also less comfy than the others. I sized up bc I might wear an insole or a sock for increased comfort.The volume (even with tightening laces) is also significantly larger in the 38.

In superstar Jacquard and classic with list, Im a true 37.

For reference or comparison,
Im a 37 birkenstock (between a B & C width) so I usually take a regular width, not narrow.
37 designer collaboration Birkenstocks are a tad narrow until I break them in.
37 Chanel ballet flat
38 (with some room) Chanel espadrille or certain sandals.
37 gucci, Prada, YSL, dolce, Tods
37.5 Valentino flat mule; 38 Valentino block sandal or caged flat or pump
37.5 manolo, Louboutin.
37 lanvin or dolce sneaker
38 trans are too voluminous, but sizing down is too short. . .

Ladies, help...today's my first time wearing my GG. I wore it for 3 hours casually and I came home and noticed my two pinky toes have blisters... I'm so sad....does anyone know why this happens? Or have had this happen to them before. Does it take awhile for them to be broken into? I'm a little disappointed bc these aren't cheap shoes...hope they will be more comfortable as I wear more of them... thanks

do you think they might be chafing in the area of friction? perhaps a thin sock might help? or Perhaps adjusting the laces

Well, I was wearing it without socks so maybe that's why. What kind of socks do u ladies wear it with?

 

[Chomel]

No I guess just the style of the shoe. They are just “new” to me lol my only other similar thing to them are ugg slippers lol

lol, that's what I love about them, they look comfy and warm like uggs. And they look easy to put on when i'm in a rush to get the kids out the door in the morning. Did you end up keeping them?

I’m a 7.5 in most US brands and wear a 37 in GG slide. I got these Ballstars in a 37...I hope they fit!

I have another pair to share! Since I only find the Slides to be comfortable, I sold the Superstars and Running Soles I had, I wanted another low pair of sneakers so I decided to try the Ball Stars. (Swanky loves them!) I read that the sizing was the same as the Slides so I went with a 35. (I am a size 6 but wear a 35 in the Slides.) I saw a pair on Farfetch in the kids sale. I never tried the kids sizing, I didn’t know what to expect but the price was so good so I ordered a kids 35 and it’s a perfect fit! I do believe the kids and women’s sizing to be the same. I am so happy with them, lots of room for my toes, just a perfect fit. Almost exactly the same as the Slides. I’m going to change the shoelaces though! Here is the picture...

Love them! They're still my favorite styles to wear, so comfy and break in so much faster. Enjoy!

Any hi star owners ? Would like reviews , pros and cons ladies ? Thanks ❤️
Eyeing the following. !

 

[Tracky527]

The high stars are great with the Platform but a little heavy. I’d still buy them as they look a little different than the superstars everyone has!
