FAQs
Are Novesta Star Master shoes true to size?
Generally, Novesta Star Masters are considered to fit true to size. However, due to their handmade nature and materials, some customers may find they run slightly large or narrow. It's recommended to check sizing guides and customer reviews if possible.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash Novesta Star Master shoes. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and construction.
What is the main difference between the Star Master Low Shoes and trainers?
The primary difference is the silhouette: Low Shoes are a more traditional, low-cut sneaker style, while trainers typically refer to higher-cut or more performance-oriented designs. The Star Master Low Shoes have a distinct, classic low-top shape.
How do I care for the natural rubber sole?
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The vulcanisation marks are a natural part of the design and should not be mistaken for defects.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Star Master series tends to have a medium width. Customers with particularly wide feet might find them snug, especially during the break-in period.
What does 'vulcanised' mean in relation to the sole?
Vulcanisation is a process of heating rubber with sulfur, which strengthens and vulcanises it. For Novesta shoes, this creates the durable, chunky sole with its characteristic markings and flexibility.
What is the lifespan of these shoes?
With proper care and regular wear, Novesta Star Master shoes are known for their durability and can last for several years. The lifespan depends on usage intensity and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
The natural canvas and rubber may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Canvas discolouration or stains
Address stains promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent stains, consider professional cleaning.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean. The vulcanised rubber can perform differently on very smooth or wet surfaces. Use with caution in such conditions.
