Golden Goose

[dreastcoast]

So...I'm not really into the whole distressed look so Golden Goose probably isn't the brand for me. But I fell in love with these tie-dye sneakers on Shopbop. Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the distressing effect with shoe cleaner perhaps? I have white sneakers that I clean regularly to remove the naturally occuring scuffs from wear and tear and I'm wondering if I can do the same for Golden Gooses. I have never handled or seen GG sneakers up close in person so I am not sure what the scuffs are like IRL? I am not familiar with GG at all, I just came across these sneakers online and loved the tie dye and glitter detail. Apologies for the dumb question.

It's pretty permanent IMO, even when I clean mine up a little, none of that budges.

Thank you for your reply! I will continue my hunt for tie dye sneakers, then!

check out the brand Soludos. They make white leather sneakers with tie dye elements.

got my first pair and i’m in love!! i really wanted something with pink and it’s good this style has my size. I am usually an eu39 and this fits me alright. If I went up to eu40, i think my heels will slide. I’m already waiting for another pair i just ordered to arrive next week!

anyway,if you look closely, there is already wrinkling on the leather between the first and second hole. The other shoe also has some wrinkling. Is this normal? Or maybe this is a returned item. Or maybe because of shipping (im from the Philippines and i just order through a personal shopper). Not bothered by it too much but still noticeable for a brand new pair.

I've resisted Golden Goose and the whole distressed shoe trend for a while now. But I saw these on Net-a-Porter and couldn't stop thinking about them. I know, I know...for most of you these are probably the most boring design, but I love them and they fit perfectly with my neutral wardrobe. The tan color is perfect and all the suede accents are so soft.

I wanted to add my experience with sizing, because I did a lot of reading on here trying to figure out what size to get. I'm pretty much a solid US 7.5 in the majority of my shoes. I ordered both the 37 and the 38.
The 37 fit well while just standing, and didn't feel too tight anywhere. But once I started walking, the wedge insole pushed my foot forward and my toes smashed against the front.
The 38 fit really well while walking. No smashed toes. I did experience some heel slippage, but once I tightened the laces, the slipping stopped and they were perfect. I compared them to my Gucci Ace sneakers and they were the same length, so that was reassuring. I kept the 38 and returned the 37.

Those are cute! Congrats on your first pair!

I was looking at this exact pair on NAP last night and added them to my cart! I haven’t pulled the trigger yet since there are so many other pairs I love and I just can’t decide. We are the same size too! I have a pair of black high stars with silver glitter star and back. Enjoy yours!

Haha, what a coincidence! I'm already really enjoying them. They're just such an easy shoe. I wore them for most of the day today and didn't have any problems. Not gonna lie, I had another pair in my cart as a back-up option in case I didn't like the ones I got...but now I kinda want those too

Which other pair are you interested in? I initially wanted a white pair with gold to contrast with my black/silver pair, but I love how versatile your neutral pair would be. Then the ones with the rainbow laces and the rainbow soles look really unique, and the other pairs with the colorful glitter stars are tempting me too. I see how people can end up with so many different pairs!

Funny you say that - my backup choice was gold! I feel like you're reading my mind over here This was the pair I was going to try if I didn't like the ones I got. They are on MyTheresa. Still very tame compared to some of them, but that's just what I like!

Yes! You and I must have the same taste and style. I was checking out that pair on myTheresa. Half the fun is loading up carts on different websites. So I have three pairs in my cart on NAP-your pair and these two. Decisions, decisions!

I looked at the pair in the first picture (gold back, gray star) a couple of times when I was trying to choose and the only thing that stopped me was the bit around the bottom. I felt like maybe it was a little too yellowish/orange-y. Might not be that bad in person though.
Now the pair with the glitter - I'm going to be honest, I'm not a fan of glitter in general, but those are actually *very* cute! I think I'm ok with them because the glitter is concentrated in one spot and not all over.
I'd say it's between the pair I got and the glitter star. ONLY because of the bottom bit of the other pair. But I'm just being nitpicky. They're all great choices!

Thanks for the input! I went back to the myTheresa pair you showed and I like that too. I can’t choose. I’m usually very decisive when it comes to shopping but this has me stumped.
