Product Information
Full details
These Novesta Star Master trainers are designed for adults seeking comfortable, durable, and stylish everyday footwear. Their key benefit is a broken-in feel straight out of the box, achieved through a washed organic cotton upper and a lightweight, removable insole. A potential consideration is the unique, raw vulcanisation marks on the toe and sole, which are an intentional part of the design aesthetic.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Novesta Star Master trainers generally have a standard fit. Due to the nature of the materials, they can offer some flexibility, but if you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to check the specific measurements or try them on if possible.
How do I wash the shoes?
The shoes themselves are not machine washable. The insole is removable and can be hand-washed. For the upper, spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the entire shoe.
What does 'PETA-certified vegan' mean?
It means that the product has been verified by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to contain no animal products or by-products and has not been tested on animals.
Are the vulcanisation marks on the sole a defect?
No, the raw vulcanisation marks are an intentional part of the handmade manufacturing process for Novesta shoes. They are a sign of traditional craftsmanship and are not considered a defect.
How durable is the natural rubber sole?
Novesta's natural rubber soles are known for their durability and resilience, providing good grip and wear resistance for everyday use.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is designed to be removable, making it possible to replace it with your own custom orthotics or alternative insoles if needed.
How do the washed canvas trainers differ from the standard Star Master?
The washed canvas version features a pre-softened, pre-washed organic cotton upper for an immediate broken-in feel, and often includes a lighter, removable insole compared to the standard model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
While designed to feel broken-in, some stiffness may be present. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. The organic cotton will soften with wear.
Discoloration on the rubber sole
The natural rubber sole may have slight variations or marks from the vulcanisation process. This is a normal characteristic of the handmade construction and does not affect performance. Clean gently with a damp cloth.
Insole not fitting properly after washing
Ensure the insole is completely dry before reinserting it into the shoe. Allow at least 24-48 hours for thorough air drying. If still problematic, contact customer support.
Squeaking noise
Squeaking can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, checking for any debris, and reinserting it firmly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
