Novesta Star Master Trainers - Blue - UK 9.5

Yes, the Novesta Star Master trainers are PETA-certified vegan, meaning they are made without any animal products.

The natural rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth.

It is recommended to hand wash the removable insole with cool water and mild detergent. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back in the shoe.

The vulcanisation marks on the toe and sole are a characteristic of the traditional manufacturing process used for these shoes. They are a sign of their handmade construction and do not indicate a defect.

Novesta Star Masters generally run true to size. However, if you are between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, consider sizing up. Referencing customer reviews for specific models can also be helpful.

While the natural rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.

This version features an improved, lightweight insole, making the trainers feel lighter on foot compared to older models, without sacrificing the sturdy natural rubber sole.

While designed to be comfortable, some initial stiffness can occur. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in further. The washed cotton upper should soften quickly.

This can happen with lighter colors. Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized canvas cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

A slight squeak can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. This usually subsides with wear. If persistent, ensure the insole is seated correctly and the sole is free of debris.

The insole is removable and can be washed or replaced. You can purchase a new compatible insole for added cushioning or to refresh the shoe's interior.
