FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from 100% cotton canvas.
Is the sole removable?
The insole is removable, but the vulcanised rubber sole is permanently attached.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.
How should I clean the rubber sole and toe cap?
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to wipe away dirt. Mild soap can be used if needed, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth.
What is the 'explorer' detail?
It's a subtle embossed design of an explorer found on the underside of the shoe's sole.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
These are primarily casual trainers designed for everyday wear. While durable, they are not designed for high-impact sports or specialized athletic performance.
What does 'vulcanised rubber' mean for the sole?
Vulcanisation is a process that strengthens rubber, making the sole highly durable, flexible, and resistant to wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the forefoot, and ensure they are evenly distributed. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if they need a short breaking-in period.
Canvas getting dirty quickly
Regularly wipe down the canvas with a damp cloth. Consider using a fabric protector spray designed for canvas shoes (test on an inconspicuous area first).
Sole appears worn
Inspect for significant wear that affects grip. If minimal, continued use is likely fine. For significant wear, replacement may be necessary depending on the age and usage.
Fraying laces
Replace laces with a similar length and material. Novesta often uses flat cotton laces.
