Golden Goose in Toulouse: where to buy them new or pre-owned at the right price

If you are looking for Golden Goose in Toulouse, it is probably for three reasons: to try them on before buying, to be certain they are genuine, and to avoid paying €550 for a pair that can be found at €320. This article covers prices, models and sizing.

How much does a pair of Golden Goose cost?

In an official store, expect €450 to €650 for a new Super-Star or Ball Star. Glitter models, special leathers and limited editions go higher.

In our current stock, prices run from €250 to €500:

• New with tags: most often between €420 and €500, that is 15 to 30 % below the store price.
• Very good condition: between €300 and €420 depending on the model, the colourway and whether the box is included.
• Good condition: from €250, on the most-worn silhouettes.

These prices move with each intake. The Golden Goose collection holds over 90 references online and updates continuously.

Why Golden Goose lends itself so well to second-hand

A Golden Goose is designed to look worn. Scuffs on the toe, chipped paint on the star, a patinated sole, mismatched laces: all of that leaves the factory that way.

A second-hand pair in very good condition is therefore visually very close to a new pair, for €150 to €250 less. Few brands offer a gap that favourable.

Which models can you find here?

Super-Star

The original model: side star, contrasting heel, low-top profile. The brand's most recognisable silhouette and the one offered in the most colourways. See the available Super-Star.

Ball Star

Retro basketball base, wider star, cleaner lines than the Super-Star. A notch more understated day to day, which makes it a good first buy. See the Ball Star.

Dad-Star

The house's dad-shoe version: thick sole, layered materials, imposing silhouette. It is the model turning over fastest with 18–30 year-olds right now. See the Dad-Star.

Running Sole

The most athletic of the range: running sole, technical mesh, genuine walking comfort. It works as well with joggers as with straight jeans. See the Running Sole.

Old School and Sky-Star

More niche. The Old School revisits a vintage skate profile, the Sky-Star adds a platform. Watch for them in the full collection — they go fast.

Which size should you take?

Golden Goose uses Italian sizing and the fit is known to be generous. The rule that works best: go half a size to a full size down from your usual sneaker size, especially on the Super-Star and Ball Star. The Dad-Star and Running Sole, being wider, are worn close to your true size.

We carry sizes 35 to 45 depending on the model. Since the store is in Toulouse, the simplest thing is to come and compare two sizes side by side.

Authenticity: what we check on every pair

Golden Goose is one of the most copied brands in the segment. Every pair that comes into Prego goes through a physical check: quality of the leather and lining, regularity and tension of the stitching, engraving of the size label, finish and alignment of the star, sole and markings, box and accessories when present.

If you are not in Toulouse, the whole stock is online with shipping across Europe: Golden Goose collection.

FAQ

Are pre-owned Golden Goose worth it?

More so than with most brands. The design already incorporates wear, so the visual gap between a new pair and one in very good condition is minimal, for a €150 to €250 price difference.

How do you spot a fake Golden Goose?

The most frequent signals: a star that is too regular or badly aligned, uniform painted-on wear instead of irregular wear, rigid shiny leather, widely spaced stitching, a poorly printed size label. Our authentication guide details every point.

Can you try before buying?

Yes. Everything online is physically present in the Toulouse store.

What budget should you plan for a first pair?

Between €250 and €350 second-hand on a classic model. That is the best style-to-price ratio for getting into the brand.

Do you buy Golden Goose back?

Yes, on consignment or as an immediate buyback. See the luxury consignment & buyback in Toulouse page.
