Model by model

How each silhouette fits.

Not every Golden Goose runs large by the same amount. Here's the house cheat-sheet.

ModelFitGuidance
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

Quick reference

The golden rule.

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.

Example

You wear a 42 EU / Nike. Your Golden Goose Superstar is around a 41 IT. For the Running, you'd sit near a 40½.

FAQ

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.

Golden Goose is sized in Italian (IT) sizing and cut generously, so the label sits above how it fits. Enter your usual EU / Nike size above and the converter gives you the GG (IT) size to order. Shop US sizing? Send us your US size and we'll translate it.
