FAQs
Are Novesta Star Masters waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. While the natural rubber sole offers some water resistance, the shoes are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How do I know if my shoes are authentic?
Authentic Novesta Star Masters feature distinctive vulcanisation marks on the shell toe and sole, a Novesta woven tab on the tongue, and an embossed explorer detail on the undersole.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Novesta Star Masters. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth or soft brush to preserve the materials and construction.
How often should I remove the insole?
You can remove the insole periodically to air it out, especially if you notice any odor, or to clean it if necessary.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With proper care, the handmade construction and natural rubber sole of Novesta Star Masters are designed for durability, offering a long lifespan for casual wear.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Yes, the Novesta Star Master series is available in a variety of colors. Please check the product listing or the brand's catalog for available options.
Are these suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-impact sports.
Troubleshooting
Canvas appears stained or dirty.
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized canvas cleaner, testing on a small area first. Avoid machine washing.
Sole feels stiff.
The natural rubber sole may require a short break-in period. Flex the shoe gently with your hands. The sole will become more pliable with regular wear.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace laces with standard flat laces. You can find replacements at shoe stores or online retailers.
Sizing feels slightly off.
Ensure you are using the correct UK sizing. The shoes may feel snug initially due to the canvas material; they will stretch slightly with wear. If significantly too small or large, consider exchanging for a different size.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the canvas. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the material and the vulcanisation.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the natural rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap can be used sparingly.
- Insole: The removable insole can be taken out and aired to help with odor control. Hand wash if necessary, and ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent shrinkage or material damage.
- Protection: Consider using a canvas protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first) to help repel dirt and light moisture.
