FAQs

How do I clean the crack leather?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for the specific finish, applied sparingly with a clean cloth.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are designed primarily for style and casual comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

What is the primary material used?

The trainers feature uppers made from a combination of crack leather and Naplak leather.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Golden Goose sizing chart, which typically aligns with UK men's shoe sizes. It's recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these trainers are best avoided in heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather and construction.

What makes the 'Dad-Star' series unique?

The Dad-Star series is characterized by its contemporary take on retro sneaker aesthetics, often featuring a slightly chunkier sole, unique material treatments like cracking, and the signature Golden Goose star detail.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on leather

Gently clean with a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather (crack/Naplak). For minor scuffs, a soft eraser might be effective.

Laces showing wear

Replace laces with similar style or color. Many shoe care retailers offer replacement laces.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to let the leather mold to your feet. Ensure correct sizing.

Loss of shape

Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's original form. Store them properly in their box.
