FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for fashion and casual wear. While they have a rubber sole for grip, they are not specialized athletic shoes and are best suited for light activity.

How do I know the correct size?

Please refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. As these are children's UK sizes, ensure you are matching with the child's current foot measurement for the best fit.

What is the 'vintage finish'?

The vintage finish is a deliberate aesthetic applied during manufacturing to give the trainers a pre-loved, worn-in look, which is a signature style of Golden Goose.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, these trainers should never be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by hand using spot cleaning methods only.

What are the main materials used?

The upper is primarily cow leather with accents of polyethylene terephthalate and cotton. The lining includes cotton, cow leather, polyester, and textile polyurethane, with a 100% rubber sole.

How durable are the glitter and metallic details?

The glitter and metallic details are designed to be part of the shoe's aesthetic. While reasonably durable for normal wear, excessive scrubbing or abrasion can affect their appearance over time, contributing to the overall vintage charm.

Troubleshooting

Laces become dirty

Gently clean laces with a mild soap and water solution, then air dry.

Scuffs on leather parts

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a matching color leather balm. For minor scuffs, a soft cloth may suffice.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, a suede eraser can be used gently.

Glitter star losing shine

Avoid excessive rubbing on the glitter areas. The natural wear and tear will contribute to the shoe's vintage look.
