Someone stole my OG's. I was in the store to replace them and tried on this boot. I purchased a 7 men's and I wear women's 10. Perfect fit. My feet and ankles swell so these fit better than my Riedells. If you are on the fence. Amazon's price for under $300 is worth it for a try before upscaling.

I decided to write this review after being a happy owner of the Godfather for about 3 years. They ultimately were stolen out of my vehicle after that time & I had to decide if I’d get a new pair or make the more costly jump to the Riedell OG (The Godfather is the top competing brand/model of the OG).Since I’m an avid skater & always felt the Godfather was slightly too wide for my foot (I’m a woman with a medium width foot), I decided to invest in the OG & see if I could get a better fit.Although both the OG & Godfather are accurate men’s sizing (I’m a women’s 8 & a men’s 6 in both boots), I found the OG to be a better, more snug fit even though it’s technically a D width boot.I will say the Godfather is a great quality leather boot. They didn’t compromise on quality one bit.Overall, after having both of these boots, I would choose the OG. Riedell is obviously the roller skating gold standard. But my choice wasn’t based on name alone. The OG package comes with a Neo Reactor plate. If you get the Godfather package, it’s the nylon Gorilla plate. The difference is night & day! Neo Reactor wins, hands down. It’s like driving a Cadillac vs an Escort.The way the OG boot fits is a much better tailored fit. It molds to the contours of your foot a lot better & leaves no room for your foot to slide around.With the Godfather I found myself clamping my toes to keep my foot stable.Overall the Godfather is still a great choice on a mid priced skate. I don’t regret having these at all. Gave me many happy days at the rink.

I purchased these in a size 12 as that is my shoe size, but they run really big, so I had to return them for a size 11, which fits perfectly. Once I received them, I took them to my local custom skate shop and purchased a high quality skate plate, wood wheels, and bones Swiss bearings. Entire setup cost about $640, including the boots. I was able to skate on them the night I picked them up from the skate shop, and I must say that I love these skate boots! They are sturdy yet comfortable, and great to look at.
