I’m a huge advocate of using “ugly but serviceable” stuff. That said, my-day-to-day shoes are wearing to the point that I can tell what the ants had for lunch. Not sure I can get away with making my own leather moccasins.
Sure, but it’s not about shoes. It’s about everything. People NEED cars and flights for family connections and toys for their kids to keep themselves sane and clothes and food and lightbulbs and either paper towels, or detergent to wash cloth napkins. Personally, I’m addicted to coffee, but most people work paycheck to paycheck and aren’t out spending on frivolous stuff.
That’s the most powerful, non-violent action we can take. The oligarchs and CEOs are falling in line because they think it’s the best move for their bottom line. Show them they’re wrong.
There are a lot of fake options in this country. Most of stores probably have mostly same things.
Dumping shopping would be the real statement.

It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing approach though. No one is going to blame you for buying day to day shoes.
