FAQs
Are these sneakers meant to look worn?
Yes, Golden Goose is famous for its 'vintage' or 'lived-in' aesthetic, which includes intentional scuffs and distress marks.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause permanent damage to the premium leather and the specialized vintage finishes.
What materials are used for the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather, with a white leather heel tab and star patch.
Are these trainers good for running?
These are primarily designed as fashion sneakers for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic performance or running.
How do I maintain the color of the blue leather?
Use a high-quality leather cream or polish specifically formulated for blue leather to protect the color and prevent fading.
What is the sizing like?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to check the specific size guide to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
You can replace the flat cream laces with standard cotton laces of the same length to refresh the look.
Leather showing scuffs beyond the intended design
Use a light leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent premature cracking, even in non-distressed areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special setup; simply adjust the flat cream laces to your preferred tension upon first wear. For compatibility, they fit standard sizing for adult men; if you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to consider the brand's specific fit tendencies. To care for your Golden Goose trainers, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, as this can damage the signature distressed finish. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove surface dust. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied sparingly to a damp cloth, avoiding the areas that feature the intentional vintage scuffing.
