The Godfather's
Love the skates , wish the wheels were 101A instead of 95A so once I upgraded the wheels, they are worth the hype

Godfather Fame
I would have liked to give this a 4.99. These are so close to perfect. The only thing a bit strange is the Fame wheels logo was all mixed up. It's like a printing error. I'm changing out the wheels anyway, and I'll use the provided wheels for smooth outdoor surfaces. People have said the bearings were poor, and I'm not seeing that. The included bearings are fine. I would buy these again, but I don't expect I will need to.

Modified review
So I wrote a previous review stating the boot is the focal point & what you are really paying for with the Fame. If you want the whole shabang, you'll have to get the higher end Godfathers. But I skated on these tonight for the first time. The Fame wheels really suck unless you're a beginner. The bearings, nah. They're not great. But the plates are much nicer than I anticipated! The trucks have a mechanism that causes your skate to lean with you as you turn. At first I thought my trucks were loose. Then I realized how awesome this feature really is. It gives you great maneuverability & you're not sore at the end of the night, because they move with you instead of you having to fight your skates on turns. I replaced the wheels and bearings with Bones & these babies FLY! Nice job VNLA. Love these skates.

The boot is excellent quality
There are multiple different Godfather skates to choose from. I bought the Fame to upgrade to a better skate. I am currently skating in a Crazy Skate boot which is made well, but synthetic. I wanted a quality leather boot that wouldn't cost $500-$900. So I chose the Fame. I'll say this. With the Fame, you are paying for the boot. The bearings & wheels are not great. If you don't swap them out, you'll pretty much be skating on a beginner skate. But that's ok! The boot seems worth the price. It should wear well & last a long time. The boot has very nice cushion on the sole & along the inner sides. I bought a black size 6 (I'm a women's 8 in shoes) & it fits very well. No rubbing as far as I can tell. I really love the look of the fame pink wheels that I got on these, but for speed sake, I'm going to swap them out for a pair of Bones 101a along with Bones Reds bearings. I also wanted the Fame because I wanted to try a nylon plate instead of aluminum. My current skates are heavy. I thought these would be lighter, but they don't really seem to be. I guess the trucks along with the extra materials make them just as heavy. If you prefer a more complete skate package that's not just a base/beginner skate, you may want to get a slightly more expensive Godfather with all the bells & whistles. But these are a really good boot with lots of potential & great overall quality. Riedell is going to charge a lot more just to get a comparable quality on the boot. Happy skating, all.
