FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Novesta Star Master trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity, not for high-impact sports like running.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
It's recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the Novesta size chart. The handmade nature can mean slight variations, so trying them on is ideal if possible.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
We strongly advise against machine washing. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the recommended method to preserve the materials and construction.
What does 'vulcanisation marks' mean?
Vulcanisation is a process used to strengthen rubber. The marks are a visible sign of this traditional manufacturing technique used on the shell toe and sole, authenticating the shoe.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable and made from recycled rubber with a canvas top layer, allowing for customisation or easier cleaning.
How durable is the natural rubber sole?
The glue-free pressed natural rubber compound sole is designed for durability and flexibility, suitable for everyday wear.
What is the upper made of?
The upper is made from 100% cotton canvas, providing a breathable and comfortable feel.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Ensure you have measured your foot correctly against the size chart. If still unsure, consider the removable insole; its removal can offer a slightly roomier fit.
Canvas appears discolored
This can happen with natural materials. Try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid prolonged sun exposure which can lighten colors.
Sole feels stiff initially
The natural rubber sole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot's shape.
Laces wear out
Replace laces with standard flat laces of a similar length. Ensure they are not too tight to avoid damaging the eyelets.
