A few months back, I bought my first Golden Goose sneakers (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and have been asked a lot about them ever since. So many that I decided it was finally time to do a full write-up! I’ve also had them long enough that I feel like I have a good grip on their quality, and a number of other aspects about them, which goldengoosesneakers.shoes you’ll find explored in this post.
So I’m diving into a bunch of popular FAQs, as well as how to grab them for less, in the sections below! Also, if you’re looking for more of my recent reviews, check out my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and thoughts on the Dudley Stephens fleece pullover!
Where were you able to get your pair?
I found mine on discount via Cettire and snagged them that way!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were shipped to me by April 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
How expensive are they?
When I ordered my pair in spring, I paid $385.43, but their standard price is $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how decked out they are.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they do run true to size, at least for me.
Since they keep their shape and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
Are they comfortable?
They required minimal break-in time..
How durable are they?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over NYC, and they still look great. No glitter has fallen off, and the structure feels strong. Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
How do they compare to other sneakers?
These are the best sneakers I own. I wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose wins in both comfort and quality. There’s a secret wedge inside that adds support and height — making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they’re handmade in small batches, so each pair is custom-feeling. And the shine on mine? Stunning.
Would you recommend them?
Yes! But I’d recommend waiting for a sale. They cost a lot, so getting them with a promo is worth it. Still, I think they’re worth a few hundred bucks, especially if you pick something you’ll wear a lot. I went bold with sparkle, but a neutral version would also go with everything.
Discount sources?
Scroll down for my go-to sources. I had a 10/10 experience with GGoose.org, so I think they’re a great option.
- GGoose.org – my go-to for these sneakers!
- Gilt – membership is free!
- Vestiaire Collection – apparently, they’re offering $50 off your first order of $150+ in their app using code WELCOMEUS50
- The Real Real – amazing deals on brand new or hardly worn GG sneaks
- Ebay – more amazing steals on barely worn pairs
- @likeabandit – she features a ton of GG finds on her Instagram stories, so be sure to watch for them
Where could someone find a pair like yours?
I spotted mine on discount via Cettire and snagged them that way!
Placed my order on April 28th and they were at my door by April 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How expensive are they?
I picked them up for $385.43, though they usually retail for around $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically cost anywhere between $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how detailed they are.
How is the fit?
I’d say they fit just right, based on my pair. Since they keep their shape and they don’t come in half sizes, I’d choose the larger option.
Is the comfort worth it?
They’re extremely comfortable, and only took a few hours to break in.
How durable are they?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about scuffing them more. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they still look great. Nothing has torn, and the shape stayed solid.
Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
