Black Dr. Martens 1460 Felix Rub Off vegan boots – classic Docs without leather
The 1460 was the first Dr. Martens boot and takes its name from its launch date, 1 April 1960. In this version the upper is made of Felix Rub Off, a synthetic material that shines, has a subtle two-tone effect and looks like leather. The construction is the same as in the leather boots, including the Goodyear welt and yellow thread, but without any animal-derived materials. They go with jeans, cargo trousers, dresses and a long coat.

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 boot longer, not wider.
- Synthetic Felix Rub Off stretches less than leather, so the boot should feel comfortable from the first try-on.
- When choosing a size you can switch the size chart from EU to US or centimetres.
Care
Wipe the boots with a damp cloth and leave them to dry at room temperature. Do not use leather polish or balms.
Frequently asked questions
Are Dr. Martens 1460 Felix Rub Off boots leather?
No. The upper is 100% vegan synthetic, the lining is textile and the sole is PVC. They look like the leather 1460.
What size vegan 1460 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.
Are vegan 1460 boots good for winter?
This style has no warm lining – the inside is textile. It suits autumn and dry winter days with thicker socks.
How do I clean vegan Docs?
A damp cloth is enough, then let them dry at room temperature. Wax polish and leather balms are not needed.
