FAQs
Are these trainers truly vegan?
Yes, the Novesta Star Master Washed Canvas Trainers are PETA-certified vegan, meaning they are made entirely without animal products.
How do I clean the washed canvas upper?
Use a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, but always test on a small area first. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can I put the trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The vulcanised construction and washed finish can be damaged by machine washing. Hand washing the upper and insole separately is a safer approach.
How does the sizing run for these trainers?
Novesta Star Master trainers generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider the removable insole; purchasing a half size up might allow for more comfortable use with the insole, or a true-to-size fit if you prefer to remove it.
What is the benefit of the removable insole?
The removable insole provides extra comfort and makes cleaning easier. You can take it out to air the shoes or wash the insole separately to keep them fresh.
What do you mean by 'washed colourway'?
The 'washed colourway' refers to a treatment applied to the organic cotton canvas that gives the material a softer feel and a slightly faded, pre-worn look right from the start, mimicking the effect of multiple washes.
Are the vulcanisation marks a defect?
No, the raw vulcanisation marks on the toe and sole are an intentional design feature resulting from the traditional manufacturing process. They are part of the shoe's authentic, artisanal character.
Troubleshooting
Discoloration or uneven washing effect
This is often a characteristic of the washed canvas. For any unintended marks, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the entire shoe unless necessary for a full clean, and always air dry.
Insole smells after wear
Remove the insole and air it out in a well-ventilated area. If the odor persists, hand wash the insole with mild soap and water, ensuring it is completely dry before putting it back in the shoe.
Shoe feels stiff initially
Although designed to feel broken-in, some initial stiffness may occur. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the organic cotton to conform to your foot. The removable insole can also be adjusted or replaced if needed.
Vulcanisation marks appear uneven
The raw vulcanisation marks are a natural part of the handmade process and contribute to the shoe's unique character. Minor variations are to be expected.
