Product Information

Full details

The Novesta Star Master trainers are ideal for men seeking durable, casual footwear with a timeless, handmade aesthetic. Their key benefit is the comfortable, broken-in feel from the first wear, thanks to a washed organic cotton upper and improved lightweight insole, without compromising on the signature sturdy natural rubber sole. A potential caveat is the raw, vulcanised aesthetic, which may not appeal to those preferring a perfectly uniform finish.

FAQs

Are these shoes truly vegan?

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

How do I clean the natural rubber sole?

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.

Can I put the insole in the washing machine?

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.

What do the vulcanisation marks mean?

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.

How does the sizing run for Novesta Star Master trainers?

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.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

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.

How heavy are these trainers?

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.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially.

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.

Discoloration on the canvas upper.

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.

Squeaking sound from the sole.

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.

Insole feels uncomfortable or worn out.

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.
