can't buy tektro V brake pads

hi, I have two bikes and both have Tektro V-brakes both have a Tektro 825 brake pad. I want to replace these with exactly the same. Where can I buy them? I've had to use Shimano pads and they are slightly different. You can't tell me Tektro pads are not available because the bikes are only 12 months old.
Thanks, if anyone can help.

shimano and tektro pads should be exactly the same... unless those are not the cartridge type.

bike shop should have a ton of those.

Kool Stops, or...whatever cheap pads you can get from the lbs.

matters not.

It matter much if you consider reduced rim wear and better braking to be important.
