This question is a bit late but do most feel that Golden Goose run TTS? I have 5 pairs and only recently realized that my heel slippage may be because my shoes are too big I bought my usual size 7 and didn’t even try a size down for any of the pairs that I bought. Also, I don’t exactly tie them because I figured that part of the “look” is not tying them the traditional way.
Was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

I have 5 pairs and my Superstars slip the most, are heaviest and stiffest. I'm a true 7.5 and tried sizing down to a 37, it just hurts my toes :sad: In this style I prefer 38.
My Ball Stars are perfect; softer and much comfier, they slip a little as GG claims their shoes should, but the toe box is wider and I can wear them in 37 all day.

I'm also size 7, I tried size 6 and they were way too tight to a point where I had to take the insole out. 7 is a bit loose but if you tie the laces it's manageable lol

I love my Ball Stars! They look the best on too since they aren’t so “bulky” looking and there is minimal slippage for me. I wore some today for 6 hours and they hurt the ball of my foot (how funny, ball stars hurt the ball of my foot ) by the end of the night. Surprisingly, Superstars are quite comfy for me but that’s where I get a lot of slippage. I’m thinking if I tied them the proper way, they wouldn’t slip off but would that ruin the Golden Goose look? Hehehe, I feel like I always see the laces untied and loose looking. Thank you for your reply, I guess it really varies from person to person and the shape of our foot.

That’s good to know that a full size down makes that much of a difference. Now I won’t regret not trying a size 6 so much. Out of curiosity, how do you usually wear your laces?

At the GG boutique in Dallas they “fixed” the pair of SS I was wearing. I’d complained that they slip so bad and feel heavy. She asked if I wanted her to tighten the laces and I agreed. They still look untied, but her method of feeding the laces through the last couple eyelets tightened then up for me without altering their untied look.

That is good to know. I will see if my local boutique can tighten up my laces for me. I’ve always felt the problem but it wasn’t until I saw a picture that was taken of me walking and saw that my heel was completely out of my shoe that I realized how bad it looked. Thanks for the info!

Only marginally related to the above, I’ve recently seen that some people put the last crossed laces underneath the insoles and let the short ends dangle through the last lace holes. If that makes any sense!

Hi everyone!
I'm in pursuit of my first GG pair and decided to go with hi star. I ordered two pairs and have been trying them on at home. They feel very soft and comfortable, however I can't seem to figure out what socks to wear with them. The sneakers pull the socks down in the hill area after just a couple of steps and this "grinding" causes blisters on the hill (even after 10 min walking in the apartment).
Has anyone experienced similar issues? I'd greatly appreciate any advise, I really love the look and want to keep them.
