FAQs

Are these trainers truly vegan?

Yes, the Novesta Star Master Trainers are PETA-certified vegan, meaning they contain no animal products or by-products.

How do I clean the white canvas?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing the entire shoe.

Can I remove the insole?

Yes, the insole is designed to be lightweight and removable. You can take it out to air it or wash it separately.

What is the benefit of the washed cotton?

The washed organic cotton provides a softer feel and an already broken-in comfort straight out of the box, eliminating the need for a significant break-in period.

How does the natural rubber sole perform?

The natural rubber sole offers durability and reliable grip for everyday walking and urban environments. It's a robust component of the trainer's construction.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

These trainers feature a removable insole but are designed with a minimalist approach. They do not provide significant built-in arch support.

What do the 'raw vulcanisation marks' mean?

These marks on the toe and sole are a result of the traditional vulcanization process used in manufacturing. They are a sign of the shoe's authentic, handmade construction and are not considered flaws.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel stiff initially.

The washed cotton is designed for immediate comfort, but if they feel slightly stiff, wear them around the house for a short period to break them in further.

Insole has an odor.

Remove the insole and hand wash it with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before placing it back into the trainer.

Visible marks or slight inconsistencies on the sole/toe.

These are natural vulcanization marks and are characteristic of the traditional manufacturing process. They are not defects but rather a sign of authentic craftsmanship.

Color transfer to socks.

Especially with darker or brightly colored washed cotton, some initial color transfer to socks may occur. This should lessen with subsequent wears and washes. Wearing darker socks initially can help mask this.
