FAQs
Are Novesta Star Masters true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It's recommended to check the Novesta size chart and measure your foot to ensure the best fit. Many find them true to size, but some prefer to size up for a roomier fit or if between sizes.
Can I wash my Star Masters in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash Novesta Star Masters. The handmade construction and natural materials can be damaged by machine washing. Spot clean with a damp cloth instead.
How long do Novesta Star Masters typically last?
With proper care and regular wear, Novesta Star Masters are known for their durability due to their handmade construction and quality natural materials. Lifespan can vary based on usage intensity and care, but they are built to last for several seasons.
What is the advantage of the vulcanisation marks?
The vulcanisation marks are a signature of Novesta's handmade process, indicating the quality of the bond between the rubber sole and the canvas upper. They are a sign of authenticity and durable construction.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced if needed with a similar-sized insole suitable for canvas shoes.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, the shoes are best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions and are not designed for heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is normal for handmade canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The materials will soften and mold to your feet over time.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. The natural rubber can have different traction characteristics compared to synthetic materials. Be mindful of very wet or smooth surfaces.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the flat laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Cotton or durable synthetic laces are recommended.
