My superstars are pretty comfortable, they've never rubbed and can generally wear them all day without issue, although on one occasion ended up with a bruised toe so not sure what happened there! My Slides I just couldn't get the size right, usual size was far too big so sized down, as soon as I walked any distance they gave me blisters on my ankles so are languishing in their box.

The really comfortable ones are the Francy but I must admit I don't like the style quite as much as the other two.

Out of interest has anyone successfully had a pair of superstars resoled? I'd wear mine more but there's wear around the edges of the sole and don't want to wear them out completely! I'm in the UK though, so if there's anywhere here I can send them that would be better if possible?

I'm also in the UK and want to know the same. All my SS GGs started having fraying soles

Have you tried Midstars? They’re very comfy for me, lower height than Slides.

I think GG has a few boutiques now that can do this. They can resolve/customize anything.
For example, in store locations listed on their website:


GGDB / NEW YORK SOHO​

FORWARD STORE - Cobbler and Tailoring 468 Broome Street

Thanks, maybe I'll call customer services at some point, but there doesn't appear to be any option for repairs on the UK site or in any of the stores.

As much as I love my GGs, they wear down very quickly. Two of them developed a hole on their soles, admittedly I wore nothing else but those two pair of shoes for the past year, yet I didn't expect them to fall apart this fast. I will take them to the specialist cobbler soon, and depending on the price I may get them repaired or chuck them away and get new pairs.

I was debating what to do actually because these shoes are too expensive to break this fast, but to be honest they are the most comfortable for my feet and if I have to buy a new pair every year, I just have to accept that.

That is a lot of wear, I can't think of any pair of shoes I own that I could wear every single day and them stay intact tbh.
I have a pair of On Cloud's I'd call my daily wears, but truthfully, it's not really every single day, it's most days. I'd likely choose a comfy sneaker to wear most days and rotate your GG (or any very pricey shoe) for other days.

Hi everyone! Has anyone had experience with the Golden Goose forward service? https://forward.goldengoose.com/

I see a few comments right above mentioning GG official services resoling the sneakers but it looks like they also allow for really interesting customisations: removing and replacing the star with a color of your choice, using jumbo crystals on the star, etc. I have a pair from 2021 and I was considering selling it on as it is still in pretty great condition but I might considering doing the official GGDB remake!

Would anyone be interested in an update here? :)

I think I slightly exaggerated and in reality I wanted to say that i wore those two GGs most days, but I also wear other shoes every now again, I have a couple of gucci ace that I love, too. It just seems that the soles of the GG wear down quicker than expected, yet the top part still looks very good (maybe because it looks worn even when new, so a little extra wear doesn't make any difference :) ). But yes, you are right, I wear GG all the time thinking about it, maybe more than 'normal' BUT they are just SO comfortable.

Interestingly, since covid started I've gone off all other styles, I only wear trainers, even with dresses and skirts

Sizing help needed please! US 7 is my normal size in most all brands of sneakers and I take a 37 in Superstars. However, I have to size down to a 36 in Slides. Would that be necessary to do with Mid Stars or are they typically more true to size? TIA!
