I had the superstars and the hatred I felt for those shoes was real. I found them incredibly uncomfortable, so much so that I sold them to TRR.

I tried on ball stars recently and fell in love. I find them far more comfortable. I bought them and haven’t looked back.
 
Hi GG friends,

I have 2 GG SS and I find them super super comfy straight from the box.

I am eyeing a ballstar one. Would you please compare the two for me? Ideally someone who finds the SS comfy already.

I've gone through the thread but all I found was Swanky :smile: preferring them, but Swanky finds the SS uncomfortable
I find my super star comfortable and also love ball stars! Also love mid star and dad star.

The Ballstars have a slightly wider toe box and are comfier out of the box for me. I’m a 7.5 and wear a 37 in Ballstars/Mids/Slides, but a 38 in SS. Suede SS or at least suede tongues are comfier than all leather, glitter will be less soft as well typically, in my experience.
New styles are released all the time! Watch lots of different retailers as some get their own exclusives - watch SSense, Harvey Nichols, NM, Shop Bop, Nords, etc…
I won’t buy from the GG app because they are reportedly very difficult about returns/exchanges.
 
I have purchased custom pairs directly from the Milan store and had them shipped to the US. I find that buying from online sources in Europe saves me a ton of money. I started my GG journey/addiction in this group 4 years ago and have a cool collection of mostly private editions. I buy new and used from reliable sources. Sometimes the hunt for the unicorn is the most fun part.
 
All of my GG “eat” my socks lol
I bought toe socks like you’d wear with mules, I posted them before, let me look.

Also to protect the insoles I know some put a no show sock on the insole instead of wearing the sock.

I hate socks with mine too. They eat my socks, lol! My socks slide under my foot because the shoes are heavy and slide up/down a bit. I found these really strange looking socks from Target that cover just my toes and I swear by them with my GG.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for no show socks to wear with your shoes? Thanks
Found it!
