To spot any fake Golden Goose sneakers, you should check the stitching. The fake pairs always have a poorer stitching job, while the authentic quality is visibly stronger than the fake one.
We think that you’re here because you are a sneakerhead, and when you buy your items, you want to know whether they’re fake vs real. In fact, you may be here to know how to spot fake Golden Goose sneakers.
Today, we are here with another guide on how to spot fake vs real Golden Goose sneakers just in seven steps to mark on your fake vs real Golden Goose sneakers list.
We would like to say how the stitching is the most reliable spot to look at when checking the fake vs real Golden Goose sneakers because the stitching is usually flawed the most by the replica manufacturers.
Without any further ado, let’s have a look at the proper guide on how to spot fake Golden Goose sneakers.

Once again, we would like to mention how the stitching is the most reliable spot to look at when checking the fake vs real Golden Goose sneakers.
As for the first step of our real vs fake Golden Goose sneakers legit check guide, we’ll quickly have a look at the stitching on the toe box of your sneakers.
As you can see in the fake vs real Golden Goose sneakers images that we’ve linked above, the fake toe box corner stitching is looking less than the legit one.
In fact, the fake Golden Goose pair of sneakers above has fewer stitches and it makes the shoe look like it has worse quality.

Because we are still talking about the stitching, let’s move to the rear part of the Golden Goose shoes and analyze the stitching in there too.
As you can see, the stitching on the fake Golden Goose sneakers lacks quality.
The main flaw here on the fake Golden Goose sneakers is that the stitching on the rear heel side is more obvious and visible to the eye, as it isn’t stitched as deep as the legit Golden Goose sneakers have their stitching fit in.
Just because we left off on the rear heel side, let’s go a bit higher on the heel and analyze the “GOLDEN GOOSE” text. As always, let’s see the real vs fake Golden Goose sneakers comparison pictures:
Looking at the images, you can easily notice how the fake Golden Goose sneakers have the whole “GOLDEN GOOSE / DE” text too small in dimensions, and at the same time, too wide.
This flaw is the most visible on the fake Golden Goose sneakers on the “D” in the word GOLDEN, and on the “OO” in the word GOOSE.
In fact, you can see how these highlighted letters are too thick too and less fit deep into the sneakers.
As for the third step of our real vs fake Golden Goose sneakers legit check guide, we’ve prepared the stitching on the side of the shoes.
The main problem with the stitching on the side of the shoes is the arching and the curviness of the line of stitching.
Taking into account what we’ve said previously, and looking at the fake vs real Golden Goose sneakers images above, we can put it all together and get the flaws on the fake sneakers.
In fact, we can easily tell that the fake Golden Goose sneakers have the stitching line on the centre part of the sneakers looking too curvy and arched.
The thing is that the authentic line of stitching curves more of a sudden than the fake one.
The steps we’ve written so far are the best ways to authenticate this item.
The next few steps are still reliable signs of authenticity but are for non-top-versions of replicas available for this item. We recommend sticking to the steps we’ve explained above to make sure you’re not drawing the wrong conclusions.
Now that you know how to check the authenticity of your Golden Goose sneakers by the stitching and the rear heel text, let’s also check the three dots on the side of the shoes.
As it is visible in the picture that we’ve linked above, we can easily tell how the fake Golden Goose pair of sneakers has these three dots misaligned.
By misaligned, we mean that you can easily spot with the naked eye how the space between the three dots is not the same.
The legit pair has the space between these three dots regular, while on the fake Golden Goose sneakers pair the spacing is irregular.
There is less space between the dot on the left side to the one in the middle, and too much between the one in the middle to the one on the right side.
For the fifth step of our Golden Goose sneakers authentication process, we’ll quickly analyze together the distressing of your Golden Goose sneakers. Let’s see the fake vs real Golden Goose sneakers images for reference:
For the fake Golden Goose pair of sneakers that have distressing on them, you can notice how, on the toe box, the distressed lines look more hand-made than the legit ones.
By handmade, we mean that the fake Golden Goose pair of sneakers looks like it has a mathematical pattern, while the legit distresses look more natural and random.

As for the last step on the outside part of the Golden Goose sneakers, let’s have a look at the star on the side of the Golden Goose sneakers, and its edges.
As you can see, there is worse quality in how the star was glued on the edge of it, in order to stay on the shoe on the fake Golden Goose sneakers pair.
In fact, the fake Golden Goose sneakers look more frayed than the authentic ones at the edges.
As for the last step of the authenticity check process of the Golden Goose sneakers, we’ll take a look at the insoles of the shoes. As always, let’s see the reference real vs fake Golden Goose sneakers pictures:
First, you will notice the big “SUPERSTAR” text that’s printed on the black rectangle. The fake Golden Goose insole has this text too big compared to the legit “SUPERSTAR” text.
In order to check the size of the “SUPERSTAR” text, you can look at the edges of the black rectangle and then at the text itself.
The fake “SUPERSTAR” text almost touches the edges of the black rectangle, while the legit text is smaller and it’s not as close as the fake text to touch the edges of the rectangle.
The same problem applies even to the text below Golden Goose’s logo, but here, we have even another flaw.
The fake “GOLDEN GOOSE DELUXE BRAND VENEZIA” text is also too thick on the fake Golden Goose pair insole.
As for the last spot to look at on the Golden Goose insole, you can see how the fake “MADE IN ITALY” text is, again, too big, while the legit pair has this text smaller.
