There are lots of other options for shoes with leather soles surely? Eg I have a pair of Katz b&w lace ups with leather soles (note to self, dig these out to wear sometimes!) - though I think they are discontinued.
I also bought a pair of lace up leather soled shoes online once - supposedly Gandolfi - but they were too small. Size aside they would have been a nice 'teaching shoe' type (btw if you know anyone at any of the local venues with really tiny feet who need shoes let me know, I'd happily sell them on really cheap, never worn.)
