FAQs

Are these boots made of leather?

No, the 1460 Vegan series is made from 100% synthetic materials, including the 'Felix Rub Off' upper.

How should I clean my vegan boots?

Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Do not use standard leather care products.

Is the sole slip-resistant?

Yes, the PVC sole is designed to be oil, fat, and abrasion-resistant with good slip resistance.

Do I need to break these in?

Like all 1460 models, there may be a break-in period. We recommend wearing thick socks and starting with shorter walks.

Are these boots unisex?

Yes, these are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for both men and women.

What is the Goodyear Welt?

It is a construction method where the upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, providing superior durability compared to glued footwear.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff during first few wears

This is common with new Dr. Martens. Wear them for short intervals with thick socks to help the material soften and mold to your feet.

Scuff marks on the synthetic material

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the area. Avoid abrasive sponges which can damage the high-shine finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Fully vegan and cruelty-free materials
  • High-shine aesthetic with a premium feel
  • Durable Goodyear-welted construction
  • Slip and oil-resistant sole for varied conditions
  • Unisex design suitable for various wardrobes

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Synthetic material requires specific cleaning techniques
  • Limited to synthetic leather rather than traditional natural hides

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your boots last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Unlike traditional leather that may require polishes or conditioners, the synthetic upper of the 1460 Vegan should be treated differently. Clean away dirt or debris using only a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, leather polishes, or heavy-duty waxes, as these can strip the synthetic finish or leave residue on the material. Ensure the laces are tightened properly to your comfort level upon first wear to facilitate the break-in process, allowing the synthetic material to mold to your foot shape naturally.
