FAQs
Are Novesta Star Masters true to size?
Generally, Novesta Star Masters are considered to fit true to size for most wearers. However, if you are between sizes or prefer more room, considering the next size up might be beneficial, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
How do I clean the vulcanisation marks?
The vulcanisation marks are part of the shoe's design and durability. They can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage them.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
These trainers are made from natural canvas and rubber and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions. Prolonged exposure to rain may lead to water absorption and potential staining.
What is the main difference between Star Master models?
The primary differences usually lie in color, material variations (though most are canvas), and specific sizing. The core design, handmade construction, and vulcanisation marks remain consistent across the Star Master series.
Is the insole suitable for orthotics?
The insole is removable, which makes space for custom orthotics or insoles if needed. The provided insole is designed for comfort and ease of wear.
How long does the natural rubber sole typically last?
The natural rubber sole is designed for durability for casual wear. Lifespan varies based on usage frequency, walking surface, and care, but they are built to be long-lasting for their intended purpose.
Troubleshooting
Canvas appears stained or dirty
Gently clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, consider a specialized canvas cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Always allow to air dry.
Shoes feel a bit stiff initially
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in naturally. The natural canvas and rubber will soften with use.
Laces become worn or dirty
Replace laces with standard flat laces. This is an easy way to refresh the look of the trainers.
Water seeps through the canvas
These trainers are not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider alternative footwear or applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for canvas and natural rubber, testing first.
