I’m searching for boots similar to these but vegan for obvious reasons. I love boots but haven’t had them for years because I couldn’t find any cool-looking.

    Apparently people are saying the mushroom leather is good. I personally don’t have or want leather/leather-like stuff, so I could be out of date or wrong, but I remember there was leather made from plants that was offered as being premium and durable.

    Edit: here’s some examples, I’m not sure if how they all rack up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_leather

      I think it’s important to note here that many plant-based leathers still contain some amounts of petroleum-based plastics. This may change in the future, but at the moment many leather alternatives are still not 100% sustainable (it’s questionable whether animal leather is, though).

      Vegan leathers that don’t contain plastics often also look and feel more distinct from real leather (e.g. cork or teak leaves).
