Nothing wrong with your shoes being plastic there are not really vegan alternatives that fit the bill most of the time.
Every single animal product is from an already dead animal (or one that will be killed soon by the industry in order for it to be profitable). Leather isn't special in this regard and you can say the same things about meat, milk, hair, bone, etc. Saying leather is a byproduct of the meat industry is itself a bit silly as the leather industry isn't just there due to people eating meat, it is an actually valuable commodity on its own and there are animals that are raised for their skin/leather and not their meat (e.g. snakes). It's all interconnected and there's no point to trying to read the tea leaves on exactly which animal products would count as "driving" the system and which would not.
I've known vegans that buy used leather products because they don't directly incentivize the industry. I personally don't gatekeep those vegans on that issue. But just straight-up going out of your way to get the animal product? That's not exactly a personal vegan choice lol.
