^ I do that a lot too, my feet are narrow and between sizes so if possible I like to be able to try them on. Plus I really like canvas shoes, and luckily there's in fashion so there's lots about. I also don't often like the style of online vegan shoes.
In the UK Rocket Dog often have leather free shoes and are in most highstreet shoe shops. They have some beautiful fabric heals atm, I think some have leather bits in them but not all. They also have leather free, flat, smart-ish shoes.
Marks and spencers also have lots of leather-free shoes that are smart, and boots and things like that, it's just a case of reading the labels really. You'd think they were all granny-fied but actually I have got some nice shoes from there before, and they are about as good quality as highstreet leather free shoes are going to get really, any more expensive and they're all leather.
I got the most AMAZING boots from Urban outfitters (brand was Deena and Ozzy) that were leather free and super comfortable, the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. I don't know if they do lots of them though or if it was just luck. (ETA: I just looked them up online and all the ones I can find have leather so I think I just got lucky, a shame, they were so good)
