*Authentic* a picture of the recipe is posted. If you like golden goose sneakers you will love these!! Surprisingly these are very comfortable!! If you are thinking about these sneakers..you should just go ahead and get them!! I would get compliments on them all the time! They can be dressed up or down. They add a perfect touch to ones outfit! The blue laces always add a great accessory to the shoe. Even though these are distressed shoes I have only worn these a few times.
