This sustainable footwear choice utilises a specialized pressing method rather than harmful glues, resulting in a flexible yet incredibly tough daily shoe. With its heritage industrial aesthetic and superior European craftsmanship, it serves as a breathable and sturdy anchor for any casual urban wardrobe.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Read our fit guide to hone down your Novesta fit.
• These shoes feature a Standard Fit, offering a secure, locked-in feel through the midfoot with a spacious, rounded toe box.

• Please note: This style comes up slightly larger so we recommend ordering at least a whole size smaller than your normal size.
  

Washing & Care Instructions

• Clean the canvas uppers using a specialised soft brush and mild soapy water to remove surface dust and maintain the caramel pigment.
• Avoid the use of harsh chemical detergents or bleach, which can weaken the natural cotton fibres and damage the rubber compound.
• Remove the recycled rubber insole before cleaning to allow it to air out separately, helping to maintain a fresh internal environment.
• Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature; avoiding direct heat sources like radiators will prevent the natural rubber from becoming brittle.
• Use a damp cloth to easily wipe the transparent rubber sole to keep the unique finish looking crisp after urban use.

Our Novesta Star Master Shoes FAQs

1. What makes the sole "Transparent"?
   Novesta uses a specific natural rubber compound that remains clear after the vulcanisation process, showing off the internal construction and offering a cleaner, more technical look.

2. Are these suitable for wide feet?
   The Star Master is known for its relatively spacious toe box, and the flexible cotton canvas naturally adapts to the foot shape over a short break-in period.

3. What are the marks around the sole?
   Those are vulcanisation marks—they are a sign of the handmade pressing process and serve as a guarantee that your shoes were made using authentic, traditional methods.

4. Will the Caramel colour fade?
   Like all high-quality cotton textiles, some minor character-building fade may occur over time, but washing cold and air drying will keep the tone deep and vibrant.
