FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities. They offer good grip but lack the specialized support for intense sports.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer. Generally, Novesta trainers fit true to size, but the washed canvas might offer a slightly more forgiving fit. Ensure there's comfortable room in the toe box.
Can the insole be replaced with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced with your own custom orthotics if needed, provided they are of a similar size and thickness.
What does 'PETA-certified vegan' mean?
It means that the product has been verified by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to contain no animal-derived materials or by-products, and no animal testing was conducted during its production.
How durable is the natural rubber sole?
The natural rubber sole is known for its durability and resilience, designed to withstand regular wear and provide a long-lasting grip.
Will the white color get dirty easily?
As with any white footwear, the washed canvas can be prone to marks. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and proper care will help maintain their appearance.
What is the advantage of the 'washed' canvas?
The washed canvas provides an immediate soft, comfortable, 'broken-in' feel straight out of the box, eliminating the need for a lengthy break-in period.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Despite the washed upper, some minor break-in might be needed. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Insole smells after prolonged wear
Remove the insole and wash it separately with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back in the shoe.
Canvas upper appears uneven in color
This is a natural characteristic of the washed canvas finish and intended for the shoe's aesthetic. It does not indicate a defect.
Laces show dirt
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent or place them in a laundry bag and machine wash.
