FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Golden Goose sneakers, including the Super-Star model, can sometimes run large. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide or try them on if possible. Consider your usual shoe size and compare it to the provided measurements or recommendations.
Are the distressed marks permanent?
The distressed marks, scuffs, and the yellowed sole are intentional design elements applied during production to achieve a vintage look. While further wear will add natural patina, the initial aesthetic is part of the shoe's design.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and suede components are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the materials.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is primarily made from high-quality leather, specifically a blend of Goatskin and Calf Leather, contributing to the shoe's premium feel and durability.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning the leather every 3-6 months or when it appears dry is sufficient to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
Where are these sneakers made?
The Golden Goose Super-Star sneakers are proudly made in Italy, reflecting the brand's commitment to quality craftsmanship and design.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces can be easily replaced if they become worn or if you wish to change the style. Standard sneaker laces are compatible.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or dirt on the intentionally distressed areas
The distressed finish is intentional. For minor new marks, a soft brush can sometimes blend them. Avoid aggressive cleaning products that could remove the intended vintage effect.
Leather feels stiff
New leather can be stiff. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Specialized leather conditioners can help soften the material over time.
Laces become dirty
Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried before re-lacing.
Sole appears yellowed or worn
This is part of the signature vintage treatment. If the yellowing is excessive or undesirable, consult specialized shoe restoration services, though it may alter the intended aesthetic.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper and sole. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Leather Care: For the leather components, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner sparingly. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Suede/Nubuck: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe (like the star or tongue), use a suede brush to maintain texture and remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
