I bought a pair of Thursday boots - meme fashion boots, not even good Goodyear welt boots - before I went vegan and they've served me very well. $200 or $250 maybe, after 2.5 years the sole wore out and I had them resoled with a heavier tread pattern for like $90. I've never actually worn out a pair of shoelaces before.
But I have never tried to buy clothing that lasts, I just thrift and tailor if need be.

I think thrifting and fixing it yourself is realistically what buying clothing that lasts looks like
