FAQs
Are Novesta Star Masters suitable for wet weather?
While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider waterproof footwear.
How do I ensure I have the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. The Star Master generally runs true to size, but personal preference for fit (snug vs. roomy) can vary. Consider trying them on if possible.
What does 'vulcanisation marks' mean?
Vulcanisation is a process used to strengthen rubber. The distinctive marks are a sign of Novesta's traditional manufacturing technique and a mark of authenticity.
Can I machine wash my Star Masters?
It is not recommended to machine wash Novesta Star Masters. Hand washing with a soft brush and mild detergent is the preferred method for cleaning the canvas and sole.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is designed to be removable, featuring a recycled rubber base with a canvas top layer. This allows for easier cleaning and the option to replace it.
What is the environmental impact of these trainers?
Novesta prioritizes sustainability by using natural rubber and cotton, a glue-free sole construction, and recycled materials for the insole, reducing the environmental footprint.
Troubleshooting
Canvas appears discolored or stained.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid bleach or abrasive cleaners. Ensure proper air drying away from heat.
Soles feel stiff or lack flexibility.
This is characteristic of the pressed natural rubber sole. Wear them regularly; they will naturally adapt to your foot's movement over time.
Laces are fraying.
Replace laces with standard flat laces. Consider using a lace bag if washing them in a machine.
Insole is uncomfortable or worn.
The insole is removable and can be replaced with a new one. Ensure the replacement is of similar material and thickness to maintain fit.
