FAQs

Are Novesta Star Masters true to size?

Generally, Novesta Star Masters are considered true to size for most individuals. However, it's always recommended to consult size charts and consider if you prefer a snug or looser fit, especially as they are made from canvas which offers less stretch than some other materials.

How do I clean the natural rubber sole?

The natural rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure to wipe it clean and allow it to air dry.

Can I machine wash my Novesta trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash Novesta Star Masters. The handmade construction and natural materials can be damaged by the harshness of a washing machine. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the significance of the vulcanisation marks?

The vulcanisation marks are a signature of Novesta's handmade quality and the vulcanisation process used to bond the sole to the upper. They are a guarantee of an authentic Novesta shoe and indicate a durable construction method.

How long does the recycled rubber insole last?

The durability of the recycled rubber insole depends on usage and care. With regular wear and proper cleaning, it should provide comfort for a significant period. It is removable, allowing for replacement if needed.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Star Master has a relatively standard width. While the canvas offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them a bit snug. Trying them on or checking detailed width measurements if available is advisable.

What is the environmental impact of these trainers?

Novesta prioritizes sustainability by using natural rubber, 100% cotton lining, and recycled rubber for the insoles. The glue-free pressing of the sole also contributes to a reduced environmental footprint.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the canvas to soften and mold to your feet.

Canvas shows dirt or stains.

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. For tougher stains, specialized canvas cleaners may be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces come undone frequently.

Try a different lacing technique, such as a 'secure knot' or 'bar lacing', which can help keep laces tied for longer. Ensure laces are pulled snug but not overly tight.

Water seeps through canvas.

These trainers are not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for canvas footwear, applying it according to product instructions. Be aware this may slightly alter the appearance or breathability.
