Hi. I haven’t had that happen to me yet but I’ve seen it a lot and I am dreading the day I see it on mine. For the price we pay this should never happen. It’s almost like the sole material isn’t thick enough. I rotate my pairs a lot but I do have one pair that I have worn probably 15 times and walked for hours in them so when it happens they will be the first pair. If you got them at Nordstrom I’d send them back as defective and they will return them. It shouldn’t happen to these, EVER!

Thanks so much for your reply. I was so upset when I saw it-I have another pair which I’ve actually worn more than these which are holding up much better (so far!). It’s disappointing to have spent so much to have them like this in less than a year. I bought them in Selfridges London so I’ll take them in next week and see what they say. Thanks again [emoji4]

Hi there

Does Golden goose all leather superstar generally stretch in width please after wearing a few times please? As they currently feel tight but next size up is far too big even with insole etc and not sure if i should just return them!

Thanks

I’ll start by saying that I haven’t worn mine nearly enough to know how much they give over time, but...
I guess it depends on how tight they are? Honestly, I wouldn’t keep a shoe that makes me go through a world of pain just to break them in. I find that most often than not, I’ll simply give up before that’s even remotely close to happening.
Keep them on and walk around the house as much as you can... if they don’t feel a bit more comfortable, well... I’d return them. No use in keeping shoes (especially sneakers!) if they’re not comfy.

That said, I think the suede ones are way more comfortable than the leather ones, and I’m pretty sure they have more give.

I hope others can assist you with this issue better than I was able to!

Have you tried loosening the laces from top to bottom? It will help a lot, trust me. They aren’t going to stretch much unless maybe you try wearing them around the house with some thick socks.

Hi ladies! Just a quick question, what socks do you usually wear on your GG? I tried wearing ankle socks with my SS and somehow, my socks always slip from my feet from walking. Shoes are comfortable after hours of walking, just the socks situation is bothering me lol

I love the Bombas no-show socks with my GGs! They don’t slip, are super comfy, and as a bonus they donate a pair for every pair they sell. My second favorite are Lululemon secret socks, they don’t slip either and are thinner than Bombas. I’ve tried other brands (Nike, Adidas, etc) and they all slipped after a couple steps.

Most no show socks are show socks for me. They’re almost always too big unless I find extra small, I have small feet that are a narrow and bony medium width with a small heel, so I wear half socks. They do not come off once my foot is in the shoe. I make sure I follow the toe pattern to wear them on the same foot every time, this helps maintain the shape and fit. I wear half socks instead of no socks because it helps protect my toes, it feels more comfy, and after foot surgery I need the protection.
They’re kinda spendy when you think about what you’re getting but they last a long time, I wash them in a small lingerie bag so they don’t disappear in the machine. I like this brand because other ones have a thicker band where it ends on your foot and I don’t like the feel, too thick.
Hope you find something that works.

I just purchased a pair of GG ankle height western boots, style Young, and they were at least a size too big. I wear 36 in SS so I ordered the 36 first and they were too wide and too long. I reordered them in 35 and got the sale price, always a bonus considering the price, waiting for them to arrive. I’m thinking these could even be too big.
Does anyone have this style or any other GG boots? Did you find they ran large or true?Trying to get a feel for the sizing on these and if anyone knows if there are certain styles that run narrower.
Thanks!
 
Just got these from ssense sale. Is it normal for the ties to be sticky? My other pair didn’t come that way.

The laces are sticky? I’ve not tried on or own a pair like that. Does it feel like glue? Something that might come off or it’s on there for good? If possible I’d call them to see if they’ll do an exchange. Not sure I could wear shoes with sticky laces. You could swap the laces but you’d have to find light grey or off white or something similar, bright white might look too ‘new’.
