FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Novesta Star Master trainers are designed for casual wear and light walking. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-impact sports.
What is the main difference between Novesta trainers and others?
Novesta trainers are characterized by their handmade vulcanisation process, use of natural rubber and canvas, and distinctive minimalist design, setting them apart from mass-produced footwear.
How do I ensure I'm buying a genuine Novesta shoe?
Look for the unmistakable vulcanisation marks on the shell toe and sole, the Novesta woven tab on the tongue, and the embossed explorer on the undersole. Purchasing from authorized retailers also guarantees authenticity.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof and can absorb moisture. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What does 'vulcanisation' mean in relation to these shoes?
Vulcanisation is a process where rubber is heated with sulfur, making it stronger, more elastic, and durable. The visible marks on the Novesta Star Master are a testament to this traditional shoemaking technique.
How does the recycled rubber insole contribute to the shoe?
The recycled rubber insole provides cushioning and comfort while promoting sustainability by utilizing reclaimed materials.
Troubleshooting
Canvas material appears discolored
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized canvas cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth.
Slight stiffness in the sole initially
This is normal for natural rubber. Wear the shoes for a few hours; they will become more flexible with use.
Laces show wear
Replace laces with standard flat laces of a similar length. Chrome-effect laces can be sourced to maintain the original aesthetic.

Compatibility: The Novesta Star Master trainers are designed for adult use and are suitable for most casual wardrobe pairings. They are available in various sizes, including UK 9 for men.
Care:

- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Protection: For added protection against stains, consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
