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.

Try Hi Star. Similar style but pretty comfy. I don't own Super Star so cannot compare. I only have Hi Star and Mid Star. Both are great.

I have the most first-worldy of first-world problems. I just received the Purestars and Superstars and I truly cannot decide which one to keep.
I have a pair of Superstars (with light tan suede accents), and I have a pair of clean, all-white Gucci Aces (with a light gray heel tab), but I wanted to add a pair with black accents. I think both pairs are comfortable, so that's not a deciding factor. I love that the Superstars are care-free, but I equally love the clean look of the Purestars.
I got them both at good prices from Ssense, so keeping both isn't *totally* out of the question, but I'd prefer to just keep one. Any thoughts?

I prefer the look of the superstar. I like that the black star pops and stands out. The purestar look more plain to me!

I do like the pop of the star as well! However the Purestars, even though they are little chunky, are much more flattering than I expected. The pros seem to be equal for both so it just makes it difficult to choose:panic:

I find Superstars to be supremely uncomfy so I’d say whichever feels best!
The Purestars go with more and are more low key.

I know a couple of people that think Superstars are uncomfortable, but I've honestly never had any discomfort with mine! I almost wish they were uncomfortable to me, because then it would make this decision so much easier!:P

I am not comfortable in most shoes but love my superstars. It’s ironic considering so many people find them uncomfortable!

OMG that squeaking LOL. I thought you were talking about squeaking when the arch of your foot doesn't quite align with the sole of the shoe (happens to me all the time with some shoes) but this sounds like the shoe leather is just squeaking from rubbing on itself??

these ones are not meant to look worn, they are meant to look more pristine, which makes me wish i got one of the pre-worn ones to remove this anxiety! lol

As for the squeak, it's when i walk, there is a squeak (i guess the leather rubbing?) i contacted GG and they suggested i put baby powder in between the sole, but it didn't really work. Maybe i need to wear them more and the squeaking will go away?

This is the style: Superstar G68

OMG ! It’s so annoying isn’t it ! I have several pairs of golden goose shoes and they squeak with every step, like a squish squish squish noise. Some worse then others, doesn’t seem to happen with the low ones.
