I\u2019d say they fit just right, based on my pair.<\/p>\n
Since they don\u2019t stretch and they don\u2019t come in half sizes, I\u2019d choose the larger option.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
How comfy are they?<\/h2>\n
They\u2019re extremely comfortable, and only took a few hours to break in..<\/p>\n
How do they perform over time?<\/h2>\n
Because they already have scuffs, I didn\u2019t worry about scuffing them more. I\u2019ve worn them all over NYC, and they still look great. No glitter has fallen off, and the leather hasn\u2019t stretched. Since the aesthetic is distressed, I don\u2019t really notice if there\u2019s new wear and tear.<\/p>\n
How are they vs. other brands?<\/h2>\n
They\u2019re the highest quality sneakers I have. I\u2019ve tried others like Vejas, but Golden Goose are just on another level. They have a hidden arch lift that adds just over an inch \u2014 making your legs look longer. Not to mention, they\u2019re crafted individually, so each pair is unique. And the shine on mine? Absolutely gorgeous.<\/p>\n
Are they worth it?<\/h2>\n
Yes! Just try not to pay full price. They\u2019re expensive, so getting them on sale is worth it. I\u2019d pay several hundred for the quality, especially if you find a style that suits you. Mine have pink glitter, but a minimalist version would also be smart.<\/p>\n
Discount sources?<\/h2>\n
Here are the spots I found most reliable. I had a perfect experience with GGoose.org, so I suggest them first.<\/p>\n

- @likeabandit – she shares plenty of Golden Goose finds on her Instagram stories, keep an eye out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Where did you score your pair?<\/h2>\n
I grabbed mine from Cettire when they had a limited-time deal going on.<\/p>\n
I ordered them on the 28th of April and they were delivered by the 30th, so the shipping was super fast \u2013 definitely a bonus<\/p>\n
How expensive are they?<\/h2>\n
When I grabbed my pair in spring, I paid around $385, but their standard price is over $500.<\/p>\n
Golden Goose sneakers typically range from $410 and $1,700, depending on how customized they are.<\/p>\n
How does the sizing run?<\/h2>\n
I\u2019d say they fit true to size, based on my pair. They haven\u2019t stretched noticeably, so if you\u2019re in the middle, I\u2019d go up<\/p>\n
How comfy are they?<\/h2>\n
They felt good right away. I wear no-show socks with them, especially since they reduce sweat. They\u2019re made with real Italian leather, so it\u2019s much more easy than breaking in synthetic materials. Also, they\u2019re already broken-in so your feet just get comfortable fast.<\/p>\n
How do they perform over time?<\/h2>\n
Since they come pre-distressed, I didn\u2019t worry about wearing them outside. I\u2019ve worn them all over the city, and they still look great. No glitter has fallen off, and the structure feels strong.<\/p>\n
Since the aesthetic is distressed, I can\u2019t even tell if there\u2019s new wear and tear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
