FAQs

Are these shoes truly vegan?

Yes, the Novesta Star Master shoes are PETA-certified vegan, meaning they are made without any animal products.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The Star Master fit is generally considered true to size, but some find them to run slightly large. Consider checking the specific size chart or trying them on if possible. The removable insole can help accommodate minor fit differences.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash the entire shoe, as this can damage the vulcanized sole and materials. Spot clean the upper and hand wash the removable insole separately.

What do you mean by 'vulcanization marks'?

Vulcanization is a process used to strengthen rubber. The marks are a natural byproduct of this traditional handmade process and are a signature aesthetic of the Novesta Star Master shoes.

How durable is the natural rubber sole?

The natural rubber sole is known for its durability and resistance to wear, providing a sturdy foundation for everyday use.

Can I replace the insole if it wears out?

Yes, the insole is designed to be removable. While it's quite durable, if it wears out, you can replace it with a compatible insole of your choice.

What is the best way to care for the washed cotton upper?

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a very mild soap. Avoid soaking or using abrasive cleaners to maintain the fabric's integrity and color.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The washed organic cotton is designed to soften quickly with use.

Insole feels uncomfortable or misplaced

Remove the insole and reinsert it carefully, ensuring it lies flat and is correctly positioned within the shoe.

Discoloration on the rubber sole or toe

These are natural vulcanization marks inherent to the handmade process and are a characteristic of the shoe's design, not a defect.

Canvas upper getting wet

For light moisture, wipe clean. For heavier wetness, remove the insole, stuff shoes with paper to absorb moisture, and air dry away from heat.
