The Star Master is Novesta’s flagship model. It features a distinctive chunky sole and vulcanization marks. The Star Master’s design is based on military sports footwear that has been manufactured in Slovakia for over a half-century, merging comfort with ruggedness.

The Star Master achieves a harmonious balance between style and comfort. Handcrafted from the highest quality natural rubber and canvas in Slovakia, this iconic footwear carries a rich heritage rooted in the rugged landscapes of the Alps. Originally conceived to conquer the challenges of alpine hiking and military drills, these shoes have garnered a well-deserved reputation for their enduring durability and reliability. While they have gracefully adapted to the demands of urban life, the echoes of their mountainous origins continue to tell tales of adventurous escapades.

Featuring a robust vulcanized rubber sole designed for superior grip on rocky terrain and a resilient canvas upper providing protection against the elements, the Star Master was born from the need for performance in the wilderness. To this day, it still bears the signature “Trampsky” logo that pays homage to its use in trekking. But while its origins may be traced to the untamed Alps, its heart now beats to the rhythm of the city, ensuring that every step taken is both a sartorial statement and an embrace of urban comfort.

Novesta’s aim is clear: to craft products rooted in sustainability, guided by transparency, and committed to a brighter future.

Production

Novesta sources natural rubber for its robust soles and carefully selects organic cotton for plush uppers. With designs and materials at their disposal, Novesta shoemakers engage in the precise art of pattern crafting. Each line, curve, and outline are meticulously drafted, setting the groundwork for what’s to come. Guided by these patterns, adept hands expertly cut materials into precise shapes, harmonizing precision and potential.

Layer upon layer, stitch after stitch, components unite under the vigilant gaze of the artisans, ensuring that each shoe stands as a testament to their mastery.

A distinctive hallmark of Novesta’s craftsmanship is vulcanization, a technique that elevates their shoes to the pinnacle of endurance. Through the fusion of heat and pressure, the rubber sole and canvas upper form an unyielding bond that defies the ravages of time and the rigors of daily use.
