FAQs
Are Novesta Star Masters true to size?
Generally, Novesta Star Masters are considered true to size for most wearers. However, as they are handmade and made from natural materials, slight variations can occur. It's recommended to check the specific size guide or try them on if possible.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the handmade construction and natural materials like rubber and canvas.
How durable is the natural rubber sole?
The natural rubber sole is durable for everyday wear. However, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or heavy abrasion can lead to wear over time.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry weather conditions.
What is the benefit of the recycled rubber insole?
The recycled rubber insole provides cushioning and comfort. It is also removable, allowing for easier cleaning and air drying.
How do I identify authentic Novesta shoes?
Authentic Novesta shoes, like the Star Master, feature distinctive vulcanisation marks on the shell toe and sole, a Novesta woven tab on the tongue, and an embossed explorer detail on the undersole.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard flat laces and can be replaced if they become worn or if you wish to change the style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods to gradually break them in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Canvas appears discolored or stained.
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas cleaner might be needed, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces.
The natural rubber sole offers less grip on wet surfaces compared to specialized outsoles. Exercise caution in wet conditions and avoid extremely slippery areas.
Laces fraying or chrome eyelets tarnishing.
Replace laces as needed. For tarnished eyelets, try a gentle metal polish, but be careful not to damage the surrounding canvas.
