FAQs

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the Novesta Star Master Trainers are made from canvas and natural rubber, making them water-resistant to a degree but not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

How do I ensure I have the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. These are UK men's sizes. Consider the fit of similar canvas trainers you own.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.

What does 'vulcanisation' mean for these shoes?

Vulcanisation is a process that hardens rubber and makes it more durable and elastic. The visible marks on the toe and sole are indicators of this unique, robust construction method used by Novesta.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the trainers come with removable, recycled rubber insoles with a canvas top layer.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or material degradation.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made from a natural rubber compound, pressed using a glue-free method, which is part of Novesta's commitment to sustainable practices.

Troubleshooting

Canvas appears stained or dirty.

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Natural rubber sole feels stiff.

This is normal for new natural rubber. Wear the shoes regularly to help them soften and conform to your foot. Avoid using oils or conditioners not specifically designed for natural rubber.

Laces are worn or dirty.

The flat laces can be replaced. You can purchase standard flat trainer laces. Ensure they are of a similar length for the best fit.

Slight variation in colour or texture.

This is a characteristic of handmade products using natural materials. Embrace the unique qualities of your pair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the canvas upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid machine washing.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the natural rubber and canvas.
  • Sole Care: The natural rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
  • Insole: The removable insole can be taken out for separate airing or gentle cleaning with a damp cloth.
