FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Golden Goose trainers are generally considered to run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by model. It is recommended to consult the size chart and consider your personal preference for fit.

How do I clean the glitter star?

The glitter star should be cleaned gently. Use a soft, dry cloth or a very lightly dampened cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning solutions that could damage the glitter.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and suede upper are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain to prevent damage to the materials.

What is the difference between Ball-Star and other Golden Goose models?

The Ball-Star model is inspired by basketball sneakers, often featuring more robust silhouettes and distinct details like the signature star, sometimes with unique finishes like glitter or laminated leather, compared to other models like the Superstar.

How should I store my Golden Goose trainers?

Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to keep them in their original box or a dust bag to protect them from dust and potential damage.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Ball-Star model has a standard fit. While they can accommodate some width over time as the leather softens, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet looking for a very roomy fit.

What is the country of manufacture?

These Golden Goose trainers are made in Italy.

Troubleshooting

Glitter is flaking off the star.

Handle the shoes with care and avoid rubbing the glittered areas vigorously. If minor flaking occurs, it is a natural characteristic of glitter embellishments.

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dry suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Leather upper is scuffed.

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or shoe cream in a matching color might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
