Full details
The Novesta Star Master Trainers in a washed white are ideal for adults seeking a comfortable, stylish, and ethically produced casual shoe. Their key benefit is the broken-in feel straight out of the box, combined with a lightweight design. A potential caveat is that the washed cotton upper may require gentle care to maintain its appearance. These trainers are built using traditional methods, featuring a soft organic cotton upper, a removable insole for easy cleaning, and a durable natural rubber sole, all while being PETA-certified vegan.

FAQs
Are these trainers truly vegan?
Yes, the Novesta Star Master trainers are PETA-certified vegan, meaning no animal products are used in their construction.
How do I clean the removable insole?
You can remove the insole, hand-wash it with mild soap and water, and let it air dry completely before putting it back into the shoe.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
How does the washed cotton upper differ from regular cotton?
The washed cotton has a softer, pre-worn feel straight out of the box, giving it a more relaxed and comfortable initial fit compared to unwashed cotton.
What is the purpose of the vulcanization marks?
The vulcanization marks on the toe and sole are a characteristic of the traditional manufacturing process used by Novesta, adding to the shoe's authentic, handcrafted aesthetic.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The trainers are made on traditional moulds which can be on the narrower side. Check sizing guides and consider trying them on if possible, as the cotton upper does offer some flexibility.
How durable is the natural rubber sole?
The natural rubber sole is known for its durability and provides a sturdy base for everyday wear, offering good traction and resistance to abrasion.
Troubleshooting
Discoloration on white upper
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid bleach or abrasive cleaners. For significant stains, consider professional cleaning.
Insole feels uncomfortable or worn
Remove the insole and air it out. If it remains uncomfortable, consider replacing it with a new compatible insole.
Rubber sole has marks
These marks are often intentional vulcanization marks and part of the shoe's aesthetic. If they are scuffs, try gently cleaning with a damp cloth.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in further. The washed cotton is designed for immediate comfort, but minor stiffness can resolve with use.
