Not too long ago, I picked up my first-ever pair of Golden Goose sneakers (you might remember seeing them in a recent post), and got tons of questions from you guys ever since. So many that I decided it was finally time to do a full write-up! I’ve also worn them enough now that I understand how they really perform, and a variety of other factors about them, which you’ll find explored in this post.
So I’m answering 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, have a scroll through my Abercrombie vs. Agolde jean shorts review, Goyard tote bag breakdown, and thoughts on the Dudley Stephens fleece pullover!
Where did you end up buying them?
Cettire had them on sale and I took advantage right away!
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they discover the advantages of Golden Goose were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was really quick .
How much do they run?
Back in April, I found a deal for $385.43 instead of paying the full $513.91.
Golden Goose sneakers typically cost anywhere between $400 to nearly $1,700, depending on how decked out they are.
How is the fit?
Yes, they do run true to size, at least for me.
They haven’t stretched much, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up a size
How comfy are they?
Honestly, they feel great, and only took a few hours to break in..
How durable are they?
They look worn from the start, I didn’t worry about wearing them outside. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. Nothing has torn, and the shape stayed solid. Thanks to the vintage look, I don’t really notice if there’s new wear and tear.
How do they compare to other sneakers?
Nothing else compares in comfort or quality. I wear Vejas and Tretons too, but Golden Goose are just on another level. They have a hidden arch lift that adds just over an inch — making your legs look longer. Also, they’re crafted individually, so each pair is one of a kind. And the glitter on mine? Stunning.
Would you buy again?
Totally! Though I suggest looking for a deal. They cost a lot, so getting them on sale is smarter. I’d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you get a pair you love. Mine have pink glitter, but a neutral version would also look great.
Best places to buy them cheaper?

Where did you get them?
I ordered mine from Cettire when they had a limited-time deal going on.
Placed my order on April 28th and they were at my door by the 30th, so the shipping was lightning fast .
What’s the price?
When I bought my pair in spring, I paid $385.43, but their standard price is around $514.
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $410 and $1,700, depending on how detailed they are.
Do they fit as expected?
I’d say they fit just right, based on my pair. They haven’t stretched noticeably, so if you’re between sizes, I’d go up a size
Are they comfortable?
They felt good right away. No-show socks help with the break-in period, especially since my feet get sweaty. Top-quality leather, so it’s much more easy than breaking in synthetic materials. Plus, they’re already broken-in so your feet just adjust easily.
Do they hold up well?
Because they already have scuffs, I didn’t worry about getting them dirty. I’ve worn them all over the city, and they’ve held up beautifully. The laces are intact, and the shape stayed solid.
Because they already look worn, I can’t even tell if there’s new wear and tear.
