Hi all! I am thinking of branching out from IM and get my first GG sneakers with this one - https://www.net-a-porter.com/au/en/...per-star-distressed-metallic-leather-sneakers

Just a bit worried with the metallic leather. Sure I want it distressed but not too distressed that it's cracking everywhere with wear. Would love to hear your thoughts/experience...Many thanks! x

Hi! Be prepared for this to be your first pair of many!!!! Once you buy one pair, the comfort of them can't be matched and you'll want many more! The metallic won't crack or peel with wear. They hold amazing and will last and last for years to come. Let us know what you decide!

Thank you! Oh dear can't start another obsession [emoji12] I haven't even gotten this one and I am already plotting for the black one. Can't decide which one to get first.

I have only had white IM sneakers...
Do you find much wear to a black sneaker as the white ones?

I don't have any solid black ones, I have a bunch of white, cream and patterned ones like Zebra and leopard. If I were you I'd go for a pair that's neutral to start with. I have a ton of GG sneakers and I wear this pair the most! IMG_1502031006.928093.jpg

Could someone let me know if the insoles on the Golden Goose sneakers are removable or does it vary depending on the style? Need to find sneakers that have that feature so I can fit my own insoles in them. I'm not a sneaker person but since I will be in sneakers against my will, the photos of the ones you ladies have posted are cute and I would wear them.
Thanks so much

Hi. All of the Superstar insoles can be removed. However, if you remove the insole you're also removing the build in wedge. The insoles on the shoes are spectacular and provide extra height and comfort. I think the insoles are part of the reason the shoes are so expensive. I hope it works for you though if you put yours in. If you remove the insole you might be able to go down a size too since your foot won't be pushing forward due to the wedge.

I'll have to look at my midstar and slide to see if they are removable insoles too.

I ordered my size online. Sadly I had to return it straight away. Exactly what Sinyard said, in my case, the wedge felt like it's pushing my toes, squishing them in the toebox. It didn't feel comfortable, at least in my case. Will try a different style and see how I go

Go up one size in the Superstar and they will be perfect!
