Experience with vegan boots made in EU/UK? (slrpnk.net)

Hey all! After countless sneakers going bad on me, I'm trying to look inside of the vast world of vegan boots. Do you know of any brands and their quality? Right now I'm looking mostly at:

Nae Vegan, based in Portugal
Vegetarian Shoes, based in UK
Vegan Shoes Italy, based in.. Italy (lol)

All these have decent-looking options, but I can't find much info online about quality. Any tips appreciated!

You’re probably not looking for barefoot style but I have loved my pair of casual boots from Ahinsa Shoes (Czech Republic). Mine are canvas which they don’t seem to carry anymore but the quality/longevity is top notch! Wore them almost daily for ~3 years before they started to show wear. I’m hoping to get them re-lined by a local cobbler.

As another barefoot option, Freet are made in the UK and offer quite a few vegan options. From all that I've read about them, they seem to be very durable and well made, and often use recycled material.

oh gosh, it's time for another rabbit hole... everyone seem to have very high opinions of barefoot shoes! They do look comfortable indeed.
