FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Novesta Star Master "Washed White" trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-impact sports like running, which require specialized athletic footwear.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. These are listed in UK adult foot sizes. The trainers are designed to fit the natural shape of the foot.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the washed finish and the hand-molded construction.
What does 'Washed White' mean for the appearance?
'Washed White' refers to a finish that gives the trainers a slightly faded, pre-worn look, adding a retro or vintage aesthetic to the classic white color.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the synthetic upper and construction are not waterproof. They offer protection against light splashes but are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How durable is the synthetic upper?
The synthetic material used is lightweight and abrasion-resistant, designed for everyday wear and tear. However, like all footwear, care should be taken to avoid excessive scuffing or exposure to harsh elements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear.
The hand-molded construction is designed to adapt to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in naturally. The soft insole will also conform over time.
Difficulty cleaning the 'washed' effect.
Use a lightly damp cloth and gentle wiping motions. Avoid soaking the shoes or using excessive water, as this can alter the washed finish. For tougher spots, a very mild soap solution can be carefully applied with a cloth.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris, which can impact traction.

Care:
