Black Dr. Martens 1461 Felix Rub Off vegan shoes – leather-free 3-eye Docs
The 1461 was the second Dr. Martens style – a shoe with three pairs of eyelets. The vegan version keeps its signature details, but the upper is made of synthetic Felix Rub Off instead of leather. The material is smooth with a subtle two-tone effect and only needs a wipe with a damp cloth. It goes with jeans, straight trousers and skirts – for everyday wear, including for people who avoid animal-derived products.

Size and fit
- Dr. Martens makes whole sizes only. If you are usually a half size, the brand recommends sizing down – a larger size makes the shoe longer, not wider.
- Synthetic Felix Rub Off stretches less than leather, so the shoes should feel comfortable when you try them on.
- When choosing a size you can switch the size chart from EU to US or centimetres.
Care
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth – no leather polish or balms needed.
Frequently asked questions
Are Dr. Martens 1461 Felix Rub Off shoes leather?
No. The upper is vegan synthetic, the lining is textile and the sole is PVC.
What size vegan 1461 should I choose?
Usually the same as in your other shoes. Dr. Martens does not make half sizes – if you are in between, the brand recommends the smaller size, and an insole can take up any extra room.
What do you wear vegan 1461 Docs with?
Jeans, straight trousers, a midi skirt and a coat. The smooth black material looks neat in smarter outfits too.
How do I clean Felix Rub Off shoes?
Just wipe them with a damp cloth. Do not use wax polish or leather balms.
