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!

I wouldn’t say they’re comfort shoes but they are comfortable in my opinion. I have two pairs of superstars that gets lots of wear. I recently wore my Nike for the first time in a while and they ARE more comfortable, so if I’m going to be doing a lot of walking for the day, those would be my choice. I do love the GG though and considering a third pair.

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.

Yep I think it’s normal, got my first pair in HK store and ask for new stock because of some wrinkling on the side and my 2nd pair which I got from personal shopper doesn’t have any

I haven’t logged in for awhile but I’m out of lurking mode for GG . I’ve maybe spent a little too much in the last week, because Neiman Marcus keeps sending me 15% off codes and they stack with 15% cash back. I feel like I have to take advantage of the massive discounts

Here is my current collection. I love them so much. For some reason, converse/Adidas superstars never fit me right, they always hurt my feet. But I haven’t had that issue at all with GG, except with the mesh Superstars-those hurt. I do wear socks though, unless I’m in a rush. I did a full day walking excursion in the full glitter pair, without any pain or issues.

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.

No need to be concerned, all of the newer styles have the - on the insole. I just bought a couple of pair from Nordstrom that have it as well. Hope this helps!

I got my first pair and they are super pretty but a bit uncomfortable. Not sure if they are worth keeping to try and break in but I'm having a hard time returning because I love the color (the sparkles are mostly pink and dark grey with pink star). My heel slips a bit too unless I actually tie them. Is it dorky to tie them? I know most people seem to wear them untied. Does the slippage get better once they are more broken in? I also have a pair of Slides on the way to compare fit but they are not as pretty.

Maybe this can help someone who find Golden Goose Super Stars uncomfortable like I did. They fit well in store but after wearing them awhile they were miserably uncomfortable. I ended up spraying them on the inside of each shoe with Kiwi Shoe stretch spray and then I wore socks with them for a few hours while I did chores and errands while they dried (This can be repeated if they aren’t stretched enough but I only needed to do this once). I also bought a replacement insert on Amazon that has a 2.5cm wedge instead of the 3.5cm wedge insert that comes with GG SS. That 1cm made a huge difference for me. It was important for me to find a wedge insert not a regular low profile insert. Those didn’t work for me. The lower wedge insert worked perfectly. Now they are stretched out just right for me and that lower wedge feels much better. They are now comfortable and I have worn them all day with no pain. Now I want to buy another pair☺
I hope this helps someone.
