FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The Novesta Star Master trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday use. They do not offer the specific support or cushioning required for most athletic activities.

How do I find the right size?

The product information indicates this is a UK size 11. It is recommended to consult a general shoe size chart for conversion if needed, and to consider the brand's specific sizing if available.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the natural rubber sole and the canvas material. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What does 'vulcanisation marks' mean?

Vulcanisation is a process used to strengthen rubber. The visible marks are a sign of the traditional handmade vulcanisation technique used by Novesta, confirming the shoe's authenticity and construction method.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers have a natural rubber sole which offers some water resistance, but the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry or mildly damp conditions but not for heavy rain or wet environments.

What is the difference between this model and other Novesta trainers?

The Star Master is Novesta's signature model, characterized by its iconic low-cut silhouette and visible vulcanisation marks. Other models may vary in cut, materials, or specific design features.

How durable is the natural rubber sole?

The glue-free pressed natural rubber compound sole is designed to be durable and flexible for everyday wear. Its longevity can be maximized by proper care and avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh conditions.

Troubleshooting

Canvas appears discolored or stained.

Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the affected area. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Soles feel stiff after drying.

This can occasionally happen with natural rubber. Flex the shoes manually to help soften the rubber. Ensure they are not dried near direct heat.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Replace laces with standard flat trainers laces. For cleaning, remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water.

Noticeable variations in vulcanisation marks.

This is a normal characteristic of the handmade production process and does not affect the shoe's quality or performance.
