I received these and they are really nicely cushioned and comfy, but is the plain white style for GGDB worth the price? I got them for $304 not incl. tax.

I saw these fleece lined superstar slides and had to order them. I don't love the price but after a quick look in a couple other sites, didn’t find them for a better price. Do you have the same shoe design but in multiple colors? By this I mean I have the black ss in 2 diff color ways. Both have black laces and one has a silver star with a black and white glitter heel, might be called silver, and another pair with a blue star and multi color glitter heel. I really like the black shoe with black laces esp since I wear a lot of black. I am not a pink person but even I like the pink ones pictured, but they’d be less versatile for me.
If I get these in more than one color is that overkill? Thanks for your thoughts.
I saw them, they are a private edition for Nordstrom. I passed because I personally prefer the Gucci Princetown slides over these (which I just bought). These since they are shearling and you can only wear for Winter and maybe some Fall, I’d only get one pair. I liked the white the best. Let us know how you like them!!!
I am wearing my new Princetowns today and when I saw the above post I went "ooooh, more cozy warmth for my feet." But, I agree with you. I prefer this look on the Princetown, or the Ugg slippers that are everywhere this season.
I ordered both the white and silver glitter so I could see them and decide. Glad I did since they’re basically sold out now. I think I’m leaning more toward the white, too.
I know what you mean about the shearling and being seasonal. I won’t be wearing them when it’s 85-90 at the beach in SoCal!
On the Gucci princetown, are you referring to the ones with the fur/shearling? I see diff ones with diff descriptions so I’m not sure if they’re all lined the same or diff. They look very similar in pics.
How are the fur ones? It looks like the fur is only on the edge or is it the insole and upper lining too? Do you feel like they’ll get dirty?
I have princetowns without the fur. I’ve been looking for a summery pair and saw the raffia ones but ouch on the price. I’ve also seen leather ones in a color called brown but it’s not dark brown, an odd looking maybe taupe color. Been looking since they first came out but no tan-ish type color yet. I might break down and get the raffia.
I’ll post when the GG’s arrive.

PBI, I've ordered from Italist many times with no issues.
Yay! Congrats! Love the black laces, it’s a thing. LOL
Thank you! I thought they may look a bit like bowling shoes with the silver tongue but I adore them now!
Shearling ss arrived today. They fit just like the regular ss without the shearling footbed. Prob have to loosen the laces a bit to get the same fit with the shearling lining. They’re very casual, seems more so than other ss maybe because it’s a slide. I like the white, not so sure about the silver glitter, It’s a lot of bling. Here’s some pics.
Thanks! Based on the online pics I was liking the silver but wasn’t sure how it would look irl. But now I’m torn between them. The white almost seems boring and the silver glitter too glittery, LOL. I’m not huge on all white but the shearling and slide style change it up for me.
What would you wear the glitter ones with? Anything?
I have the new all glitter high stars and at first I thought they were too much glitter for me. However, I think they look great with darker denim and really anything! Can you keep both?! Lol
LOL, I suppose I could, but I hadn’t planned to. There was a purple suede pair that I wanted but I just checked and my size is gone now. ☹️
Have you worn the hi stars yet? How are they? Is the sole stiff or do you think it’ll soften over time. I got a pair but decided against keeping, they were kinda stiff when walking but comfy when standing.
If I knew the hi stars would break in I’d reconsider those.
The high stars are stiffer and heavier but they do soften up! You’d love them!!!
