FAQs
What makes the Star Master's sole unique?
The Star Master features a chunky sole made from natural rubber, a material known for its durability. The visible vulcanisation marks are a signature of the traditional manufacturing process used.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Star Master generally offers a standard fit. While the canvas uppers have some give, they are not specifically designed for very wide feet. Consider trying them on if possible.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer. The UK sizing is typically used. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Novesta Star Masters. The harsh cycle and detergents can damage the canvas, rubber sole, and the vulcanised construction. Hand washing is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Warranty information can vary by retailer. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please check the product's packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Are the natural rubber soles environmentally friendly?
Natural rubber is a renewable resource. Novesta utilizes this material for its durability and flexibility. While the manufacturing process has an impact, natural rubber is generally considered more sustainable than synthetic alternatives.
How do I best maintain the brown colour?
To maintain the brown colour, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with appropriate methods as described in the care section, and consider a colour-restoring spray if the colour appears dulled over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
This is common with vulcanised rubber shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.
Canvas shows minor scuffs or marks
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Allow to air dry.
Laces are difficult to adjust
Ensure the metal eyelets are clear of debris. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. Natural rubber can have reduced grip on very smooth, wet surfaces. For increased grip, consider a rubber sole grip spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles. They are suitable for various everyday activities.
Care:
- Cleaning Uppers: For the canvas uppers, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with water and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Cleaning Sole: The natural rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more ingrained dirt, a slightly stiffer brush can be used.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the canvas and rubber.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas to help repel water and stains, though this may slightly alter the texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
