Step Into and Step Out In These Golden Goose Dupes
Discover 11 incredible Golden Goose sneaker dupes that look like your favorite designer shoes without the hefty price tag!
Have you been wanting to get a pair of Golden Goose sneakers, but can’t make sense of the $450-700 a pair price tag? I hear ya! Unless it starts raining money or I win the lottery, I don’t think I’ll ever own a pair.
The long story short behind these sneakers is that Golden Goose is a handcrafted Italian brand, founded by Francesca Rinaldo and Allesandro Gallo. They were inspired to create a high quality sneaker that looks lived in before you take it out of the box. They “look as though they’ve already lived a good life, full of adventure, and encourage you to do more of the same.“
Yes, these shoes are effortlessly cool. But if you have trouble spending that much on sneakers, there are luckily a lot of lookalikes out there at a much lower price point. So, let’s check out some of the shoes that are nice Golden Goose dupes!
Vintage Havana Denisse Glitter Sneakers
While this Vintage Havana Denisse Glitter Sneaker style isn’t as inexpensive as others on this list ($90), they’re still WAY less than actual Golden Goose sneakers. They also look incredibly similar – from the star to the slight wedge heel, to the back detail. The only thing missing is the distressing, which might actually be something people will prefer. Oh, and be sure to note that little hint of sparkle on the star!
Steve Madden Rezume Sneakers
The Steve Madden Rezume Sneaker for $80 is more about a look, than comfort. Reviewers claim these are a little stiff and heavy, but are definitely very cute. You’ll want to make a fashion statement with these and maybe plan to not walk too much.
KINODAY Star Pattern Sneakers
The KINODAY Star Pattern Sneaker channels the style, but definitely not the price. Coming in at just $40, this faux leather lace-up low top are affordable and easy to grab in multiple different color choices. It doesn’t give off that worn-in vibe, but a new clean look might just be what you prefer.
Vintage Havana Magneev Sneakers
One of the reasons Golden Goose sneakers are loved are because most styles have a hidden wedge inside – and these Vintage Havana sneakers have the same! Between the slightly dirty looking sole, the sparkly star, and the metallic heel, these are a pretty solid Golden Goose dupe at just $120.
P448 John Sneakers
Like the Golden Goose, the P448 is also a luxury brand from Italy with slightly distressed sneakers made from Italian leather and suede. They are more expensive than some of these other dupes, but they are still way less expensive than Golden Goose. P448 John sneaker is a very close mimic minus the star and you can grab it from $63-178 depending on the style that speaks to you most.
P448 Thea Platform Sneakers
Another P448 brand option is the Thea Platform Sneaker. White sneaks are classic for a reason — they go with everything, whether you’re in a sundress or baggy denim. This dupe is $298, but still half the price of the Golden Goose. They are cute, though, still quite the splurge.
Steve Madden Starling Sneakers
These had me at the first sight of sparkle! The Steve Madden Starling Sneaker for $60 features the perfect balance of leather and glitter. The 1-inch platform bottom will give you the lift you love. Reviewers note a good value for money and are quite pleased with their quality and wear ability. (Unlike the stiffness noted on the Steve Madden pair above.)
Mi.iM Sofia Rubber Sole Lace-up Low Top Star Sneakers
For $90, you can pick up the Mi.iM Sofia Rubber Sole Lace-up Low Top Star Sneaker. It mimics all aspects of the well-loved Golden Goose shoe, but at a fraction of the price. I think it’s the real vintage look of these shoes that makes them stand out as a front-runner. Definitely a great dupe option — probably the most spot on as noted throughout the reviews of this shoe.
Party Star Sneakers
If you’re a fan of colors, the Party Star Sneaker is sure to call your name! It matches the leather, look, and the star, but there are so many color choices, you might have a hard time deciding. The nice thing is that at about $30-35 per pair means you can pick up several pairs.
Steve Madden Charlie Platform Sneakers
Though missing the traditional star, the Steve Madden Charlie Platform Sneaker is the classic leather platform look we all love. This one, however, boasts a nice 1.5-inch lift. Grab the white and it’ll go with all of your outfits — sundresses, jeans, shorts, lounge pants — you name it, it’ll work!
Lucky Step Star Sneakers
Want to step up your shoe game with a variety of textures and patterns? The Lucky Step Star Sneaker is one you’ll want to take a look at! It’s the look we love, but with additions of denim, glitter, leopard print, and more! Reviews love the fit and the feel of these shoes as well. They are affordable too at just $36.
A Shopping Tip:
There are several brands that we’re seeing repeated on this list so take the time to do some research and try to match with a style that really speaks to you. For example, the Vintage Havana Sneakers has a large variety of shoes that match the style and vibe of Golden Goose, especially if you like options. The price point is definitely fair, so if the ones featured here weren’t really your style, be sure to check out ALL of the available styles. The Mi.iM brand is also a brand you’ll want to take time to browse the styles. They have fun and unique offerings at an affordable price. They even have a high-top version if that’s something that is more your style.
In the world of any type of dupe, the relationship between quality and price is a crucial factor to consider. Read reviews and be prepared to explore options that best suit your preferences, whether you’re out to achieve the look or if you want your own twist on the trend.
