Thank God for Zappos.com!

Hey, check this out everyone:
I found these seemingly awesome Via Spiga ankle boot/mules on eBay for
a starting bid of $50:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4151067420&category=63889&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT&rd=1
or

These appear to be the real deal, not knockoffs.
But then I saw this other listing by the same seller and these are
just OBVIOUS knockoffs when compared with the same shoe using the
awesome multi–view feature at zappos.com:
eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=63889&item=4151044177#ebayphotohosting

The sole was a dead giveaway and also the strap on the top should be
threaded through the leather, but is not in the knocked off item.
Anyhow, I'm wary of this seller now. I just hope I'm not missing out
on a killer deal on those mules!

They don't look at all like the same style to me – besides what you
mention above, the ebay one has a square toe and the Zappo one is more
rounded. Also, the seller calls the style "Ronnie" while Zappo's calls
it "Whole". To me it looks like they're just completely different shoe
models. Also, if you do a web search on "Via Spiga Ronnie" you'll get
hits showing the same shoe that's one ebay. Or am I missing something?

If you're right (and I think you might be) then I probably missed out
on a killer deal on those mules. Ah, live and learn. I should retitle
this thread "Thank God for alt.fashion!" ;)
Thanks.
