Customer Reviews UGG Goldenstar

These are my over all favorite of the Goldenstar series (suede, the leather still bothers my bunions). I've always worn Naot for almost 20 years as I have several foot issues (bunions, plantar faciitis on both feet, one foot a true half size smaller, and high arches), but have noticed a change in the leather (stiffer) and my feet "aging" so they fit different. My old ones that still fit I will wear until they fall off my feet. So I began a search for something to replace my everyday Naots (Birdies is still my favorite go to for dressy shoes). I hadn't thought to look at Uggs since I wanted non-furry (I do have several pair for winter wear), something more for the summer. Then I found the Ugg Goldenstar suede (the leather ones a bit stiff for me) sandals and clogs! Non-furry, arch support (unlike most of their furry shoes), just the right cushion (not too squishy need the support), insole smooth without being slippery. Added bonus, now I can wear some shoes with height as Golderstar is a true Flatform (even the slightest slope can aggravate my bunions. Their sizes are easy to choose from as all the footbeds in these run the same. Ugg Goldenstars have become my new favorite go to shoes!

Fit is true to size, very comfortable right out of the box, no break in needed.

I have a lot of foot pain from plantar fasciitis, Morton's neuroma, and years of running/pounding the pavement. These are comfortable right out of the box. Some people have noted that the straps could be longer. I didn't find that to be a problem, but I have a foot that leans to the narrow side. The only thing I'd improve about them is to give the sole a little more height in the back. It's a flatform, so you need to adapt to taking a shorter stride in them or the straps will pull. For reference, I ordered the black suede version, so they're softer than the leather version would be.

Great purchase. Versatile, dress up or down

These sandals are amazingly comfortable. Wore them on a trip out of the country and they helped me on long walks. I highly recommend them.
