Where’s the best place to buy gg? That has a good return/exchange policy because I’m unsure of my size. I’m a 5.5/6 in most shoes
i would think all major department stores and probably their cheaper "sister stores" ie Saks Off 5th .. always make sure it's not final sale and that you can return it. the return policy is always stated on the site and like i said, definitely department stores are your best bet.

i'd say nothing international or boutique-y

I agree with incessant, department stores. As long as you haven’t worn them, most dept stores have a policy where you can return them. I wear a 5.5-6 in most shoes. 6 in brands like Chanel that run on the small side, 5-5.5 in Prada that historically for me ran big (haven’t bought Prada shoes in quite a while). I wear a 36 in GG superstars but s 35 in Young boots. The boots I have are the short western boots and I think they run wide and long. Shopbop periodically has sales that discount full price styles.

hey ladies! so my GG slides just arrived and i am super UNIMPRESSED ... tbh they photograph better than they look in person, so the last photo is super cute

they are not comfy, don't have like an "orthopedic" type sole which i thought they all did? and the glitter is coming off already all over and glue in the front is showing... seems like a "hard" shoe

any help? could i have received a defected pair? can't be .....

Sinyard would be more knowledgeable and have more insight into a pair with glitter. I have a pair covered in sequins and they so far seem securely attached. The superstars I got recently are out for repair because the beads started coming off, and these were twice the price of my other superstars. So I’m guessing it depends on the embellishment. I may have just had bad luck with the beads on the one shoe. I’ve also noticed that across different colorways, all superstar, the fit can vary. So some are a tad longer or a tad wider, etc. I find the suede ones more comfy than leather I think simply because suede is softer.

thanks for your reply, i've tried a couple on in-store (low tops only) and they seemed v comfy although they were not my size, i had to order these online from Saks Off 5th ... i'm going to keep them but i thought they would have more appeal to me in person, especially since in the store i really liked "inferior" ones

I’ve realized, after buying these for a couple years, it’s really a personal preference thing on how the shoe looks and whether it appeals to you. I have seen shoes I don’t care for because of color or embellishment, but other people love it. I’d keep them only if I really liked them and knew I’d wear them. I think at GG prices, you gotta love it. The ones out for repair were ridiculously expensive, but I love them so I purchased them. And I will wear them a lot. I’m not a huge all white sneaker fan, so this gives me the lighter color I want but with some fun added in.
 
How many pairs of ggs do you have? I just ordered 2 to see but are they to similar being all white to keep both?View attachment 4176572

They are similar but different because of the diff sole and star color. Do you see yourself wearing both because they’re diff enough? For me that would be the question. If I said no I’d keep the one i liked the most and would wear the most. I have 7 pairs. It came up earlier in the thread, I think Sinyard has 80+ pairs.
I have a black suede pair and just got those hi star ones in black and am looking at a black glitter pair. I should consider the hi star in white but I’m not sure I’d wear them enough to make it worthwhile.
