Okay, so I’ve been eyeing those Golden Goose sneakers for, like, forever. They’re so cool with that whole distressed, “I’m too cool to care” vibe. But the price tag? Ouch. Before I took the plunge, I needed to know: do Golden Goose run small? I didn’t want to end up with expensive shoes that pinched my toes.
My Golden Goose Size Investigation
First, I scoured the internet. I read tons of reviews, forum posts, and blog entries. Some people said they run small, others said they’re true to size, and a few even said they run big! Talk about confusing.
Next, I headed to a store that carries them. My mission: try them on. I normally wear a US size 8, so I grabbed a 38 (their equivalent). My feet slipped in easily, and… they felt pretty good! There was a little bit of room in the toe, but not enough to size down. It was the width that had me thinking.
I tried on a 37, just to be sure. Nope. Way too snug. My toes were cramped, and I could tell they’d rub. Definitely not the comfy, cool-girl vibe I was going for.
I spent a good 30 minutes walking around the store in the 38s. I squatted, I lunged, I even did a little (awkward) dance. I wanted to see if they’d slip or feel uncomfortable in any way. The verdict? They were actually pretty comfy!
The Final Decision
Based on my very scientific (ha!) experiment, I decided to stick with my usual size.
- My normal size: US 8
- Golden Goose size I got: 38 (EU)
I’ve been wearing them for a few weeks now, and I’m happy to report that I made the right choice. They’re breaking in nicely, and I haven’t had any issues with them being too small. They are my favorite ones!
So, if you are wondering if Golden Goose shoes run small,I will give my answer that at least for me, they run true to size. But, everyone’s feet are different, it’s better for you to try them on yourself!
