Poly microfiber is not a leather alternative and will disintegrate after a couple years of good use. Not saying that’s a bad thing, you can just buy another pair, but I would rather not send my boots to the land fill every other year. Cheers.

As with leather, it depends on the quality. Vegetarian Shoes' Uppers definitely don't disintegrate. The longest review I saw was 30 years and still going strong. Mine are only 3 years old, but already in way better shape than my leather boots after 3 years of hard use.
You really need to differentiate between cheap Chinese companies that use fake leather to cut costs vs companies that spend more on leather alternatives because they're more durable.
