Product Information
Full details
The Novesta Star Master Trainers are ideal for adults seeking a durable, heritage-inspired sneaker that prioritizes natural materials and timeless design. Featuring a distinct chunky vulcanized sole and high-quality canvas construction, these shoes offer exceptional longevity and a recognizable aesthetic for everyday wear. A key caveat to keep in mind is that the vulcanized rubber construction provides a firmer feel compared to modern foam-based athletic footwear, which may require a short breaking-in period for optimal comfort.

FAQs
Are Novesta Star Master trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the canvas construction may have a slightly snug feel initially.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No. High heat can compromise the vulcanized rubber bonds and warp the shape of the shoe.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are fashion trainers designed for casual wear and walking, not for high-impact sports or running.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable cotton canvas.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature a relatively flat sole design; if you require specific arch support, you may wish to add your own aftermarket insoles.
Are these handmade?
Yes, every pair of Novesta Star Master trainers is handmade to ensure high quality and adherence to traditional manufacturing processes.
Troubleshooting
Canvas upper appears stained
Use a specialized fabric cleaner and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scrubbing which can fray the canvas fibers.
Sole feels too rigid
Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the natural rubber to flex and adapt to your unique stride.
Rubber trim showing minor scuffs
The rubber can be cleaned with a white pencil eraser or a mild soap solution to remove surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; the shoes are ready to wear out of the box. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, keeping in mind the canvas material may stretch slightly over time.
To maintain the appearance and structure of your Star Masters:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the canvas and a damp cloth to wipe down the rubber sole.
- Stain Prevention: Apply a water-repellent spray formulated for canvas to protect the fabric from moisture and dirt.
- Avoid Washing Machines: Submerging these shoes in water or using harsh detergents can damage the vulcanized bond and rubber components.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the rubber to yellow or crack over time.
