FAQs
Are these trainers 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 damp conditions. Consider a waterproofing spray for added resistance.
How should I clean the natural rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Novesta Star Master trainers. Machine washing can damage the vulcanized rubber sole and the canvas material, affecting the shoe's structure and longevity.
What is the purpose of the vulcanization marks?
The distinctive vulcanization marks on the shell toe and sole are a signature of Novesta craftsmanship, guaranteeing the authenticity and traditional construction method of the shoe.
How durable is the natural rubber sole?
The glue-free pressed natural rubber compound sole is designed for durability and provides good grip for everyday wear. Its longevity is enhanced by proper care and avoiding excessive exposure to harsh chemicals.
Do these trainers come in other colors or sizes?
Yes, the Novesta Star Master series is available in various colors and a wide range of sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is removable, featuring a recycled rubber base with a top canvas layer. This allows for easy cleaning or replacement with custom insoles if desired.
Troubleshooting
Canvas appears dirty or stained.
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas cleaner can be used following product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel stiff or inflexible initially.
This is normal for new natural rubber soles. Wear them for a few hours to break them in; they will become more flexible with use.
Laces are fraying or worn.
Replace the 100% cotton laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length. Novesta offers replacement laces, or generic ones can be purchased.
Insole feels uncomfortable or worn.
The insole is removable. You can clean it separately by wiping it down or replace it with a new insole or custom orthotic for enhanced comfort or support.
