Golden Goose

[Swanky]

Hi! I just bought my first pair of GG-the limited edition navy glitter at Neimans. I’m curious about the fit? I’m almost always a 37 (Gucci, Chanel ballerinas, Valentino heels, manolo), but I got the 36 in these. I heard glitter may run a little big. My big toe is close to the front (not touching though), but any bigger and my heel slips. Hoping I got the right size as the 37 is back ordered…‍♀

I size up in Superstars. I'm a 7.5 and like them in a 38 because I find them so uncomfortable. Midstars and Ballstars I take in a 37, they're much comfier imo.
The Superstars won't stretch out much in my experience, unless they're suede. I do know some people, myself included, will pull out the insoles and replace them to make more room, as GG insoles have slight wedges in them, it makes them comfier as well

Hi,
I’ve received a pair of leopard Golden Goose Superstars from eBay - they were sent by the eBay seller to Las Vegas for authentication. Red flags flew when I tried to put the insoles back in after doing the laces trick - the front ends of the insoles bended up, I had to work to get them flattened out (this has never happened with the pair I bought at Bergdorf). I started inspecting the insoles more and noticed there is a “-“ in between super and star, “super-star”. It does not appear, by studying this very pair of shoes on other sites, that there should be a dash. Even the “GG” “DB” holes are different - they are smaller.
Any feedback on this, please?
Does anyone have this pair & if so, what do the insoles look like?
Has anyone had a bad experience with eBay & their “authentication,” please?
Attached are pics of the pair from Bergdorf that I know are authentic versus eBay.
Thank you for any insight into this matter.

I have these leopard GGs! Can't speak on authenticity, but my insole looks just like yours with "SUPER-STAR". I've also checked 4 other pairs of my superstars and they do not have the dash. Maybe just something with the style? I know mine are real as I purchased first hand from a boutique.

So the 37s arrived and they feel big in the toe area (wide)…and they slip a ton unless I really tighten the laces. Not sure whether to keep the 36 or just return them all.

Pull the insoles out of the 37s and see if they fit better. I know a lot of girls pull theirs out and replace with others (Dr Scholls, etc. . .) because there's a built in wedge and it slides your feet/toes forward. Perhaps that will fix the 37s!

Do you mean the 36? The 37 feel almost too big…‍♀️

Yes, sorry, I meant the smaller pair! Some take them leather insoles out because they're not comfy, others take it out so the shoe fits better, that slight wedge pushes foot forward into the toe box.

Thanks! And not sure why all my posts have that symbol-I was trying to use a wink emoji!

LMK if that helps! Ballstars and Mids fit slightly more generously if you decide to try another style.

I will try this as well.

Hello GG lovers! I wear sneakers a lot for walking anywhere from 5-10 km a day, usually just Nike and Converse. But I’m considering taking the plunge on a pair of Golden Goose. It’s hard for me to imagine spending that much on one pair when I could get like six pairs of my usual sneaker….but I would do it if the value were justified. So, are GG sneakers really a lot more comfortable for walking than regular sneaker brands? Do they last longer? Most of my sneakers are pretty worn after a year but I’d hope GG would last as least 3 or more years of heavy use. Let me know your experiences with comfort and longevity. TIA!

No, not comfy! Lol

My comfiest are Midstars and Ballstars, but compared to athletic brands, they’re not comfy. Superstars are least comfy for me. I know some pull out the stiff leather wedge insole and replace with Dr Scholl or similar to help comfort.
I have 7 pairs so I rotate them a lot, so none have worn out.

I find them comfy but not as much as my Adidas Superstar. I have the superstar GG and I really like the inner wedge. but I don't bring these on trips as my main walking shoe. As a second shoe yes.
