FAQs
What makes the Novesta Star Master sole 'glue-free'?
The sole is constructed using a unique pressing technique where natural rubber is pressed onto the shoe upper without the use of adhesives. This method is more environmentally friendly and contributes to the shoe's flexibility.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
While the shoes are made of cotton, they are not waterproof. The cotton upper can absorb moisture, and the glue-free sole may not offer complete protection against water ingress. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the Novesta sizing guide and measure your foot. These shoes are designed for a comfortable, snug fit. Consider the UK sizing provided. If you are between sizes, the removable insole can help adjust the fit.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the shoes feature a 100% cotton upper and lining, and a sole made from natural rubber compounds created using a glue-free pressing method. The insole also utilizes recycled rubber.
How often should I remove and clean the insole?
It's recommended to remove and air out the insole regularly to prevent odor and maintain hygiene. Clean it as needed when you clean the shoes, ensuring it is completely dry before reinserting.
What is the 'Sezam' color?
'Sezam' refers to a natural beige or sesame seed color, reflecting the shoe's earthy and understated aesthetic.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard cotton laces and can be replaced if they become worn or if you wish to change the style. Ensure you purchase laces of an appropriate length for low-top shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight on arrival.
Cotton can be stiff initially. Wear the shoes around the house with thin socks to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. The removable insole can also be replaced with a thinner one if needed.
Slight color variation from images.
Color perception can vary based on screen settings and lighting. The 'Sezam' color is a natural beige tone. Check product details for any specific material nuances.
Dirt or debris accumulating in the sole's texture.
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to carefully clean the textured areas of the natural rubber sole after each wear.
Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The natural rubber sole provides good grip on most dry surfaces. For wet or highly polished surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the sole is clean, as debris can reduce traction.
