Women's Golden Goose Trainers

Box-fresh trainers have their place but there's something about well-worn distressed pairs. Enter, Golden Goose. The Italian label's range of women's trainers includes artfully pre-distressed pairs stitched with its signature star motif, plus metallic and glittery renditions.

Founded in 2000 by Venetian designers Alessandro Gallo and Francesca Rinaldo, Golden Goose has established itself as a purveyor of modern designs with artisan spirit and a vintage feeling. The creative spirit of the founders originally took them from Venice to the skate parks of Los Angeles but, throughout the development of the brand, a strong Italian design sensibility has remained at the core.

Explore different iterations, including canvas high-tops inspired by the 80s skate scene, ladies' leather trainer shoes with suede or leopard-print details and shearling versions. All are finely crafted and signed off with the brand's signature star motif on the side. Look out for different surface treatments, embellishments, coloured heel tabs and metal stud lettering.

Opt for ladies' lace-up trainers in skate-inspired designs with a slouchy worn-in look, or reach for reinterpreted slip-on versions – a comfortable update on classic street style. Combining utility with fashion and full of personality, they will quickly become your downtime footwear of choice.
