Gucci Ace sneakers - worth it? Wear and tear issues?

[chlee1]

I really don't understand luxury shoes because it's like taking an expensive bag and dragging it on the floor. BUT, I'm smitten with the design of the Ace's. I can't find a reasonable dupe except for the Stan Smith's, but alas, it's still not the same. All you Gucci Ace owners - is it worth it? How is the wear and tear? Is this a shoe you can wear for 10 years? Thanks in advance for your insight!

I can’t speak for these sneakers, but I have been buying Gucci footwear for 20 years and the quality has always been excellent.

I agree. Bar 2 pairs of boots, for 10 years I've only bought shoes/boots from Gucci, H and DMs. Never had a problem or regret from Gucci footwear.

If you do a search there're many threads devoted to Aces

I have Ace sneakers with the snake on the heel and they are SO DELICATE. I'm not hard on my things, and the snake started peeling the second time I wore them! I contacted Gucci and they called it "normal wear and tear". My loafers have been very durable but I wouldn't buy the Ace sneakers with the snake again. Way too fussy for me.

I have multiple pair of Gucci shoes and I love them. My Ace sneakers have been great but I have heard some say that they have had issue with the embellishment on the sneakers. Maybe invest in
Ace sneakers but buy the simplest version. Remember that they run big.

I have had my Pearl/Stud Aces for a year and they look great! If you love the design, I say go for it! The price point is nowhere near the cost of an actual bag. Every time I wear them they are noticed.

I've had mine for 2 years now and they still look new
I think the quality is great! It really holds up. Personally I would not buy the majority of designer shoes as they tend to look beaten up quick, but I have several Gucci shoes that I've worn nonstop and the brand really holds to their standards.
I think Fendi and Gucci make the best designer shoes as even when the shoes are well worn, they don't look like it.

I have the ones with the sticker patches for the record, I feel like they help hide the leather creases, so it always looks new lol.

I would not reccomend getting any aces with glitter or delicate fabric.

what do you think of the ace sneaker with the hearts and the ones with the bow?
delicate or good to wear?

Do you know how much bigger the aces run?

Get a size smaller as they run quite big

do you know if Gucci shoes in generell are bigger in sizes or just the sneaker?
I like the slipper (which are open on the back) for spring summer. but wonder if they run big too.

I think it’s just the sneaker & the leather they’ve used most probably. As I have Gucci boots but I got those in my normal sizes

So sad For sneakers you’ll need to size dow, whereas sandals/slippers you’d need half a size/size up
