If you like the golden goose look rather than the brand itself I would suggest a trip to sports direct followed by one to a muddy park

icantbeliveitsnotbutter · 22/02/2021 07:35

I'd say vejas or adidas stan smiths

BusterGonad · 22/02/2021 07:35

The Golden Goose are ugly tbh.

Kona84 · 22/02/2021 08:20

The Veja look cheap
And the golden goose look like they come with a odor of piss.
How is this fashionable to wear trainers that look like you’ve had them 10 years and soiled yourself repeatedly in them.

IheartJKR · 22/02/2021 08:23

I live my golden goose op!

They go with everything, I’ve had mine for a couple of years and they’re still going strong!

BaronessBomburst · 22/02/2021 08:28

@Caramelwhispers those Japanese trainers are lovely!

Londontown12 · 22/02/2021 08:52

I have Vejas V10s I love them they literally go with everything! X

Nnameechanged · 22/02/2021 08:53

I'm guessing the OTT price is for the logo? I'm not into labels so don't know if most people would recognise whichever one and be impressed, but I've seen similar in Asda, probably as good and much cheaper.
I say this as my Asda ones have lasted years. 🙈

Happymum12345 · 22/02/2021 08:56

I love veja trainers. I find them really comfy and the fact that they’re eco friendly etc has got to be a good thing.

Peanutbutterblood · 22/02/2021 08:57

Just googled both and wouldnt wear either. I've realised a mum at school pick up wears golden goose, I had been thinking "shes got loads of money why does she wear such awful trainers" turns out they are expensive ones 😂

MagicMatilda · 22/02/2021 08:57

Golden Goose...though once you have them you won’t want to wear anything else!

Vejas hurt like hell, I got rid of them after one wear.

You might also like air and grace :)

hoxt · 22/02/2021 08:58

I have golden goose, they’re great. Been put off Veja by all the reports of them being uncomfortable. So i vote golden goose.

rawalpindithelabrador · 22/02/2021 09:02

Neither, they're both fugly, no wanky.

Royalbloo · 22/02/2021 09:03

I love my Veja's

WorryingMum2029 · 22/02/2021 09:04

I prefer Axel Arigato.

Or Stan Smith tbh Grin

peak2021 · 22/02/2021 09:06

Neither. Overpriced for what they are. Buy a 'regular' make and use the money you save for something else (a second pair perhaps). Or keep the savings for a day out or towards a holiday once you can have one.

Trainerdilemma · 22/02/2021 09:28

I love Stan smiths but thought they were really old news 🤷🏻‍♀️

Trainerdilemma · 22/02/2021 09:31

@yabooThey’re Italian leather and each pair is handmade..apparently! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love the worn in look 🤣can’t bear brand new trainers...I always scuff mine in and mess them around a bit before I wear them.

The Golden Goose are very comfortable, no synthetic lining which is good if you get hot!

SugarfreeBlitz · 22/02/2021 09:54

Veja are very boring (style-less) and Golden Goose are ridiculously priced and ugly , tasteless trainers. Do what you want, but I wouldn't buy either.

Why not get a medium priced (stylish) pair and donate the rest of the money to a food bank or something? You'll probably enjoy the trainers so much more (and not look wanky or have other people think you are wanky for spending so much)

Pukkatea · 22/02/2021 10:05

Those golden goose trainers should be the picture that comes up when you google 'fashion victim'. Actually hideous, wanky and overpriced. The veja look ok but a bit like a cheap knockoff of Stan Smiths. Everyone I know still wears Stan Smiths, they don't go out of fashion.

Member589500 · 22/02/2021 10:06

So this is why my teenagers joke about their dad’s trainers being on trend. Frumpy knackered old white trainers. Grin

Atrixie · 22/02/2021 10:08

I have both. Double wanky. I think I prefer my GG's they are so comfortable. The Veja's are quite comfy but are smarter so wear them more for work

Atrixie · 22/02/2021 10:09

The Golden Goose are very comfortable, no synthetic lining which is good if you get hot!

that's very true, they're fine in the summer without any socks and keep your feet quite cool

To be honest there's the worn look, or the I've pissed on my trainers a hundred times look!
