Authentic Golden Goose Zebra Calf-hair Francy Sneakers w/ Red & Holo Trim, EU41

Golden Goose Francy hi-tops featuring a bold zebra print calf-hair upper with vivid red, blue, and holographic accents. These are not neutral, low-key GG sneakers. These are the sneakers you wear to declare your stardom. Golden Goose is one of those brands that has mastered the art of pre-distressing, which blends in nicely on the more neutral color combos. This particular pair was almost too loud when I first bought them, in spite of the distressed rubber. Not unexpected for a shoe with holographic, red & blue neon and zebra trim. I prefer them a little more beat up, but that's always a matter of personal taste. The calf-hair upper shows the most wear - I wore these for performing gigs (playing djembe), so the most obvious calfhair loss is visible on the left inside heel where I brace the drum. These are a unisex style in women's size 41, which will fit up to a size 10. The insoles, unlike the men's sizing, feature a 1" hidden wedge. If you're a men's size 7.5-8 and your feet aren't too wide, these look identical to the men's version, with an extra inch of sneaky height. Or you can swap out the insoles if you don't want that. Very comfortable sneakers either way, with a side zip, so you never need to fuss with laces. Disclaimer - no actual skateboarding has ever happened in these shoes.
