The Best 10 Golden Goose Dupes

If the real things aren’t in your budget, these Golden Goose dupes are pretty great affordable options!

I’ve been wanting a pair of Golden Goose sneakers for YEARS and even though I finally treated myself to a pair of Ball Star sneakers, I completely understand why you might be resisting. I mean, at $450-700 a pair, it’s not a small purchase by ANY means. Unless you’re just in a very different tax bracket or you’ve managed to snag them on major sale 😜

You can read more about the real things in my Golden Goose review, but long story short: Golden Goose is an 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.“

Sounds cool, right? Your white sneakers are going to get scuffed anyway, and I love that all of their shoes feel 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. Of course the quality and comfort likely won’t be the same, but it also might be worth the massive savings for you. So let’s dive in!

10 Golden Goose Dupes

1. Vintage Havana Denisse Glitter Sneakers

I am honestly SHOOK at how good these dupes are. While this Vintage Havana style isn’t as inexpensive as others on this list ($115), they’re still WAY less than my 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 I actually think a lot of people will like. I’m thrilled with this purchase!

2. Steve Madden Rezume Sneakers

I got this pair a few years ago and while you can definitely tell they aren’t the real thing, they’re only $90! I’d definitely recommend if you just want a fashion sneaker, but they’re a little stiff and heavy so I wouldn’t plan on walking 20,000 steps in them. But they’re cute!

3.  Vintage Havana Gadol Sneakers

Okay this is the last Vintage Havana sneaker for now, but I had to include it because this shape reminds me a little bit of my Golden Goose Ball Star style!

4. No Boundaries Casual Star Sneakers

Would you believe me if I told you these star sneakers were only $17?! Such a great way to try out this trend without spending a lot!

5. Vintage Havana Magneev Sneakers

One of the reasons I’ve wanted a real pair of Golden Goose sneakers is 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.

6. P448 John Sneakers

Okay let’s say you want a GG vibe but you don’t want to full on dupe because you’re looking for something super high quality.

P448 is also a luxury brand from Italy with slightly distressed sneakers made from Italian leather and suede. They are more expensive than these other dupes, but they are still way less expensive than Golden Goose.

7. P448 Thea Platform

If you like the idea of P448 sneakers but want a little boost, these platform sneakers are so cute!

8. Steve Madden Rubie Silver Glitter Sneakers

If you are a glitter girlie, these sneakers are about a sparkly as you can get! And they’re on sale for just $50!

 

9. PARTY Star Sneakers

These sneakers are less than $50 and come in 15 different color variations! The reviews look pretty good too!

10. Vintage Havana Flake Sneakers

If you don’t like the distressed look but love the idea of everything else, this pair looks very similar to their newer Pure Star sneakers. These are #1 on my personal wishlist from this blog post!
