Now you have me wondering too. I'm a true 7.5 but purchased the 38 in every pair I tried. The only ones that fit well were the studded ones that made my feet look like stumps and suede but I didn't care for the contrasting tongue so I returned both. I think I'm gonna order a 37 and see if those fit better. As far as socks, I recommend Bombas. They shouldn't move around on you. Good luck with your shoes!
Thanks! I went back today and they had bombas no show socks, but those were too big. So they came off and my foot still came out of a pair of 37s. Looks like I’m going to attempt stretching the purple ones some and see what that yields. :/

So, are you still loving these??? I can’t stop thinking about them, close to pulling the trigger and ordering!
Those crystal ones are stunning. If I didn’t have silver glitter ones (and those silver/rainbow ones), I’d go for the crystal :heart:
 
I got an email from golden goose direct that they have a sale, however I clicked the link and theres barely anything on the sale page, just a couple pairs of shoes and clothes, I hope its an error and more gets displayed!
 
Got my sequin mays in the mail... too small :sad: small to the point of them being uncomfortable, sigh.
Bummer! I saw a review this morning of those specific ones saying they run narrow. See reviews on Nordstrom's site: https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/golden...t_p&sp_source=rakuten&sp_campaign=z1KL9yrNyf4

I'm really struggling with the sizing. I think I was able to stretch out the iridescent ones from Nordstrom to my satisfaction, but those purple ones. Ooof. I reached out to the company that I bought them from. The box says 37 and the shoes are 36s. On those the underside of the tongue is really really rough. Has anyone else experienced that? Combined with the snugness, it's unbearable.

But truly, how are people wearing these? Looser, or fitted. I guess I have a weird habit of slightly looser for shoes that I consider my "comfy" shoes. But looser in these means my foot comes out when walking :/.

I've gotten a couple pairs lately that I feel the same way about; the terry lining is rougher. I wear mine without socks so for me for those pairs I have to put some bandaids on certain toes or I get cut up. But I've gotten newer ones since those that are just fine, so I don't think it's some overall decline in quality or anything like that.

Thanks for confirming that that's a thing. I have a few pairs and that's the only one where it is noticeable. I may end up returning them, unfortunately!

I do still love them. I tried them on when I got them and am tempted to wear them but it’s not happening, it’s raining here all week. I can’t wait till the rain stops. You can’t tell from pics but there’s s bit of sparkle and almost iridescence to them. But they’re subtle, at least from what I’ve noticed so far, much more subtle than the silver glitter. So happy I snagged them at a good price, relatively speaking. They come in that special edition box, you can see it on the GGDB website.
If you can find your size it’s worth trying them on. I thought about them for quite a while, too!
 
Have you tried no show or half socks? I wear half socks, they don’t move around. I get them on amazon.

I haven’t tried those yet, but will. I think I prefer the 37s. Googling says there should be some wiggle room (a thumbs length), and my toe is pretty much as close to the end as you can get without scraping the front. Are the crystal ones the same sizing as the non? Are they tighter or looser, or the same?

Thanks!
 
Going through an in depth analysis of where my toes hit in the 37s vs the 36. I have no effing idea what’s right. My husband is extremely annoyed but I just never buy lace up shoes. And growing up, I always sized up in athletic shoes because it felt more comfortable (I do this less now. But I remember owning a pair of 8.5s at some point, and my usual size is 6.5-7).

Are you guys discussing these? I’m sorta obsessing [emoji175][emoji175][emoji175]

I have a pair of rose gold ones, but I have no idea which style they are and they fit me perfectly. I am attaching a pic so perhaps someone could help me ID them. All this talk about inconsistent sizes makes me wonder if I should order the same size from Shopbop or not?

Would these be Superstars and the other ones are Mays? Should I order a different size? TIA!!!

I love the ones you have on. They appear to be superstars (neimans seems to have a standard gold version that they’re calling “lace up platform.” The ones on shopbop are Mays and do run differently.

Just snagged them for $650 on NAP! Thank you so much!!!

The crystal ones fit the same to me, not too long or short and not too wide since for me that’s a bigger issue. Luckily they don’t feel short like my floral beaded ones that I had stretched in the toe. I have all superstars in size 36 and they definitely do not all fit the same. Some are wider/longer but the only one that ran really short is the floral beaded. I don’t recommend buying them all that way though. I just really wanted them.
