Runs large. Take one size down from your usual (GG is sized in IT).
Not every Golden Goose runs large by the same amount. Here's the house cheat-sheet.
| Model | Fit | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Superstar | Runs large. The signature low-top; distressed leather with the star. Take one size down from your usual EU / Nike. | Size down 1 |
| Ball Star | Fits like the Superstar. Basketball-inspired build, take the same one size down. | Size down 1 |
| Mid Star | Mid-top take on the Superstar. Fits the same, so drop one size just like the low-top. | Size down 1 |
| Old School | Vintage low-top that runs large like the Superstar. Take one size down from your usual EU / Nike. | Size down 1 |
| Francy | The classic high-top, runs large like the Superstar. Take one size down. | Size down 1 |
| Dad-Star | Chunky runner sole that sits slightly large, so drop just a half size from your usual. | Size down ½ |
| Running | The roomiest silhouette we carry, runs very large. Drop a full size, sometimes 1½ if you like them secure. | Size down 1 to 1½ |
| Slide | Golden Goose slides run large. Take one size down for a secure, snug fit. | Size down 1 |
Golden Goose runs large and is sized in IT. Go one size down from your usual EU / Nike size for the Superstar, Ball Star and Mid Star, a half down for the Dad-Star, and a full size down (sometimes 1½) for the Running.
You wear a 42 EU / Nike. Your Golden Goose Superstar is around a 41 IT. For the Running, you'd sit near a 40½.
No, as a rule they run large, so you size down, but the amount varies by model. The Superstar, Ball Star and Mid Star are the most consistent (about a full size down), the Dad-Star only a half, and the Running is the biggest drop.
Because GG runs large, we usually recommend rounding to the lower half-size for a secure fit, especially on the Running and Dad-Star. DM us and we'll confirm for your exact pair.
