Probably cost the same to make as Shimano ones.

Probably cost pennies to make. Shimano, the importer and shop all take a cut usually hence the more expensive price of shimano.

However it's not something that needs replacing of ten so for the sake of an extra £10 I'd just buy shimano to be sure

You can get official ones from Wiggle for only a few quid more. I doubt there is that much difference between them though as its only a plastic mould. But if there is a slight difference, it could leave you with a trapped foot as you tumble over!
