Fallschirmjager boots, what would you buy?

Hello everyone,
Sorry if this as been discussed before.

I visited several reenactor sites and you get all sorts of suggestions for FJ boots at all kinds of price. I don't want to buy a cheap pair of boots, used or something that is uncomfortable.

What I want to know is, in your experience, what do you think is the best choice for a pair of FJ boots. I like the idea of buying new old stock Canadian boots because I used them when I was in the army, not the best boots but I know what I'm buying. I can find them at a good price in an army surplus and try them on before buying them.

Reproduction FJ boots are expensive and I have no idea what kind of quality I'm getting or if they will be comfortable.

Prefair garrison boots look very similar to some of the boots I have seen on reenactor sites, what do you think?
