FAQs

Are Novesta Star Masters true to size?

Novesta trainers are generally considered true to size, but individual fit can vary. It is recommended to check size charts and consider the width of your foot. If between sizes, many users suggest sizing up for a more comfortable fit, especially with socks.

How should I clean the yellow canvas?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the canvas. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the material and affect the color. Always allow to air dry.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The natural rubber sole offers some protection, but the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or through puddles to prevent the canvas from getting soaked and potentially staining.

What does 'vulcanisation' mean for these shoes?

Vulcanisation is a process where rubber is heated with sulfur, making it stronger, more elastic, and durable. The distinctive marks on the toe and sole of the Star Master trainers are a sign of this traditional manufacturing process used by Novesta.

Are these shoes suitable for men and women?

Yes, the Star Master design is a unisex model, making it suitable for people of all genders. The specific product details will indicate the intended sizing and gender designation for that particular variant.

What is the insole made of?

The insole is made from recycled rubber with a top layer of canvas, providing comfort and a sustainable element to the shoe's construction.

How durable is the natural rubber sole?

The natural rubber compound sole is designed to be durable and flexible for everyday wear. Its glue-free construction also contributes to its resilience.

Troubleshooting

Canvas appears discolored or stained.

Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a specialized canvas cleaner may be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid bleach.

Rubber sole feels stiff or brittle.

This can happen if stored improperly or exposed to extreme temperatures. Ensure they are stored in a moderate environment. Mild conditioning with a rubber protectant might help, but use sparingly.

Laces fraying or breaking.

Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. Ensure the new laces are not too abrasive for the eyelets.

Insole feels uncomfortable or worn.

The insole is removable. You can clean it separately with a damp cloth or replace it with a similar-sized aftermarket insole for added comfort or support.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To clean the canvas, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the natural canvas and rubber.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the rubber to degrade or the canvas to shrink.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the color and materials.
  • Water: While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.
