I'm just starting my ghost busters costume last year around October. My company held a Halloween costume contest that I won. All I had was a bare flight suit (no patches)the belt, gloves, a spirit pack and ecto googles. The point is you don't have to be 100% to impress people.
I really like your video's of the ghostbusters costume series, I totally agree with you at the end of the video about people nit picking, we are doing it for fun!! It does not have to be perfect, just enjoy your costume/cosplay and have fun!!
The overly focus to have everything 100% screen accuracy is seldom achievable and if it is it is often incredibly expensive. Such obsessions is not healthy. In the pursuit of utter perfection madness lies. Also awesome to see that there are other grown up cosplayers out there. Thank you for great tips.
Update: I found a pair of boots made by Converse , basically all black tennis shoes with a higher top. Much more comfortable to wear and they look pretty good
