FAQs
Are Novesta Star Masters waterproof?
The canvas upper is not waterproof. While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, these shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions and are not intended for heavy rain.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Novesta Star Masters generally follow standard UK sizing. However, due to the handmade nature and materials, it's always best to try them on if possible. Consult size charts and consider if you prefer a snug or looser fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Novesta Star Masters. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.
What does 'vulcanised sole' mean?
Vulcanisation is a process that heats rubber with sulfur, making it stronger, more durable, and less sensitive to temperature changes. The visible marks on the Novesta sole are characteristic of this handmade vulcanisation process.
What is the difference between Star Master and other Novesta models?
The Star Master is Novesta's most iconic and classic model, characterized by its signature vulcanised sole and simple canvas upper. Other models may feature different materials, closures, or sole designs.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard Novesta Star Master fit is generally considered medium. If you have particularly wide feet, the canvas may offer some flexibility, but it's advisable to check reviews or try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sole
This can sometimes occur with new vulcanised rubber soles. It may resolve with wear. Ensure the sole is clean and dry.
Canvas looks faded
Canvas can naturally fade over time with exposure to sunlight. Protect from prolonged direct sun and consider using a fabric protector spray designed for canvas.
Initial stiffness
The handmade nature and natural materials can mean a slight break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Canvas: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the canvas. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning Sole: The natural rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
