Apart from the old adage/truism that 'you get what you pay for', what is wrong with these? I'm aware that the vamp shape is not quite right and the sole is off, but anything else (colour/depth of fleece/label)?

I picked up a pair of the Avirex boots a couple of years ago and they are very close to original.
The vamp is not really tha far off.
As for the sole, I went my local shoe cobbler and he removed the horrible treaded soles and put proper leather soles on no problem.
They now look the real deal

Thanks for the information - I'll keep a close eye on them and consider them if they don't begin to climb crazily nearer the end.
