Amazing Alternatives to Golden Goose!

Today’s post has probably been one of the MOST requested posts in a long time. I swear 4 messages came through in one day asking me to please put together a list of fun sneakers that would work as well as Golden Goose. Most of you see me wearing my GG sneakers nearly EVERYDAY over on Instagram and also want a shoe as functional without the price tag. So here’s an entire post dedicated to amazing alternatives to Golden Goose.

I’ll preface this post buy saying that I 110% love my Goose and will continue to buy them. I’ve worn them for years now and truly wear a pair 5/7 days a week. I don’t buy expensive designer bags or sunglasses or really splurge at all….but these are one of my only exceptions. I’m in the trenches of motherhood and these sneakers are comfortable enough to chase babies in, but elevated enough to still make me feel cool…and honestly not many things can do that for a girl these days, ya know?! I bought myself THIS PAIR for my birthday and they’ve been my most versatile pair yet! Here are some ways that I style them to give you a feel for just how much wear I get out of this style of sneaker and you can apply the same outfit inspiration to the options below:

I kid you not all of those outfits were worn within a matter of 9 days, so you can really see they are my default. The good news is that if you really like the thought of a super functional sneaker, but shudder at the price tag, I’ve rounded up 14 really fab options for you that are all on trend and won’t break the bank. I tried to give the overall same look without them screaming DUPE, because really they are all well designed on their own. That said, some are still a little pricey, but you have to keep in mind that chic sneaks are one of the hottest trends right now and you really want them to look good. I’ve you’re used to just wearing white converse and want to step up your style game, these are all wonderful options! Also, here are some sneaker brands that are hot right now:

Veja | Tretorn | P448 | Golden Goose

 

Amazing Alternatives to Golden Goose:

 

ONE | METALLIC SILVER SNEAKERS

I’m feeling the metallic silver as a plot twist to gold and a white hot Summer trend!

TWO | ALL OVER STAR SNEAKERS

These pick up the star trend without at all looking like dupes, I also love that you get mixed metallics here.

THREE | WHITE + ROSE GOLD SNEAKERS

Simple, clean and look REAL comfy

FOUR | ROSE GOLD SNAKE SNEAKERS

These are one of my fav pair from the post. They have a very similar GG look for half the price and I love the color and texture mix here.

FIVE | NEUTRAL SNEAKS

Another really clean and chic white pair with a great cognac back.

SIX | GOLD ADDIDAS CLASSICS

I can definitely attest to these being comfy, but I do think that they are a little less “trendy” than they were 2ish years ago.

SEVEN | ALL OVER SNAKE PUMAS

Pumas are amazingly comfortable and I love the play on snake here. Snakeskin is one of the hottest trends this Spring and it’s easiest to wear in small doses, making these sneakers a great option.

EIGHT | CAMO + GOLD SNEAKERS

You guys know that I cannot get enough camo, and these are no exception. Pair these back to all of your Summer neutral outfits for an easy pop of interest.

NINE | GOLD NIKE CORTEZ

I really like that the Cortez style by Nike is back! They are a fun vintage feel and of course I like the gold option.

TEN | UPDATED CONVERSE

If you really want to stick to converse, this scalloped version is pretty dang cute!

ELEVEN | ROSE GOLD VEJAS

A really really popular everyday mom shoe, these Vejas will not let you down!

TWELVE | AMAZON STAR DUPES

These sell out every nano second, but this is a dupe version from Amazon for $36! Also in metallic gold, silver and black!

THIRTEEN | TRETORN CALLIES

These are my absolute favorites from the post! I ordered them immediately and am so excited to try them. I have one other pair of Tretorns, so I can really sneak to the comfort. These look like they have a hidden wedge heel in them (like GG’s), so I’m holding out hope!

FOURTEEN | VINCE ESPADRILLE SNEAKERS

If you want less of a sneaker but don’t want to sacrifice comfort, these Vince slip on espadrilles are amazing!

 Pro-tip: If you do take the plunge on Golden Goose sneakers, once I’m done with a pair I’m able to sell them within hours on Facebook BST groups for no less than half of their original cost! It always feels like I’ve made a substantial investment that actually has a decent return 🙂
