I ordered the same boots from the same store!
I got mine in a few days ago and they really are an almost exact match for River's boots. I'm actually going to some local shoe repair stores to see if they can resole the shoe since I'm not a big fan of the thickness of the sole.
Wait, size 6 mens or womens? I was told they didn't have any more 4 mens/6 womens. Did you order the last pair? (I ended up getting a 5 mens/7 womens and plan on sticking in an extra thick insole to take up the extra room)

Wow. Same boots, huh? That's pretty shiny. (I got a size 6 in MEN'S (size 8 women's), by the way.) Let me know how the whole resoling goes -- if they can do it and how much and how they turn out.
Glad everything has worked out for you!!

The boots can be resoled 
It's so much lighter now and the sole they used actually looks a whole lot like the soles of River's movie boots!
After doing some freeze framing and zooming on the DVDs and checking out some promo pictures, if you want to make them an even closer match to River's boots, it looks like they cut off the bottom third of the sole (up to the soft middle layer) and added a heel.
As for how much, the quotes were pretty much in the $40-50 range.

Last time I looked there they had alot of plain style boots. They might not anymore, but maybe. Hope I've been of some help.
