Hi, I am looking for Indy boots, but cant afford real aldens, and wondered if anyone knew any similiar in the uk, for around £40 roughly, more expensive ones are still good to know, as I cant find anything similar using the search function
cheers in advance!

Hey Jay, I'm stateside so I can't suggest anyone across the pond with a good pair but if you're willing to consider shipping and up your ante about 20 more pounds Todd's Costume has a good option. They're out of California.
Rockport offers the Farnum, which is a close enough to some for about the same price... again you're looking at shipping from the US of A. I can say unless you're going to come up a few bucks from your starting point you're going to be hard pressed to find a descent "new" pair.
I'd check the search engine and the Bazaar for something. You might be able to find something to scratch your itch there.
Good Luck

Try NEXT tennessee - i was there recently and saw some boots in there that could definitely be used as Indy boots and they were about £50.
Well worth it and wearable with a pair of jeans also when you are'nt in the 'gear'
Hope you find what you seek my friend

Sketchers, yes. They have a shoe and a low boot that look basically the same, with the moc-toe design. Even if you have to get them from the States, the price + shipping should be low enough to fit your budget.

cheers for your help guys, been narrowing them down a bit
may wait until todd gets some more in stock.
there are soooo many similar, like walking boots, or work boots, but most are missing the 'mock toe' kinda thing
I am looking at these just for cheap simlicity

Google: Johnston & Murphy. They make a good close enough also:
