Italian fashion label Golden Goose is renowned for impeccable quality and an almost-maniacal attention to detail. Launched in 2000 in Venice, the high-end lifestyle brand merges Italian wearability with a distinctly American flavor. Golden Goose luxury sneakers feature a bold star graphic and the brand's signature distressing—including ultra-convincing scuff marks.
Absolutely love these sneakers. Didn’t think I would pull the trigger until I tried them Mon. The Ball Stars fits me better than the Star Dans .. less of a platform inside. I highly recommend! If you are normally a half size—suggest size up!

When did Nordstrom become The RealReal?
I was really excited for my Golden Goose sneakers to arrive, but when they did, they appeared to be previously worn. Before I even took the shoes out of the plastic, I could already tell that the toe box was heavily wrinkled and creased, and there was a noticeable scuff mark (yes, I understand Golden Goose shoes come pre-distressed). However, when I removed them from the plastic, I immediately noticed that the insoles were dirty just from glancing inside. Upon further inspection, you can clearly see the outline of someone else’s foot.
I’m extremely disappointed to have received a used pair of shoes—especially considering how expensive they are. If I wanted something used, I would have gone to The RealReal, not Nordstrom.

Too snug, super bummed
It took me forever to pull the trigger and then I just ended up returning these. They’re very cute but for me they ran snug in my normal size (I’m an 8.5/9 and got the 39/9). Bummed! They’re also narrow so I’m not even going to bother sizing up, I just didn’t think the comfort was there for a $600 price tag.

YES YES YES!
Im so happy I finally pulled the trigger on these. They are sooo beautiful in person and they legit go with any outfit. I’m definitely living in leggings and lulu zip up’s and these are so light and comfortable out of the box. I love the neutral tones and the glitter just make them perfect. I’m in love with these sneakers. I have Fendi and Gucci sneakers but these have won top spot. They’re as comfortable as my slip on vans and I wear those babies everywhere. I did size up to 8 as I’m a 7.5 and they fit perfect.

Golden Goose
These shoes make a terrible crackling noise. I couldn't wait to get them, but now I can't wait to return them. Very dissatisfied
