Novesta Star Dribble Wax Shoes

To keep feet dry and comfortably supported during damp weather and changing seasons, the Novesta Star Dribble Wax Shoes in Sand are crafted with a water repellent wax coated cotton canvas upper. This ankle high casual sneaker solves the problem of wet footboard spray and autumn drizzle soaking through traditional canvas shoes by pairing a protective waxed finish with a heat pressed vulcanised natural rubber sole. Featuring machine set silver eyelets, a cushioned footbed, and the iconic tire tread toe cap, it provides reliable moisture protection, flexible foot support, and long lasting traction for daily outdoor wear.

Key Features

• Heavyweight wax coated cotton canvas upper repels water droplets and surface moisture effectively.
• High top profile with a soft padded ankle collar offers added coverage and foot stability.
• Natural vulcanised rubber outsole heat bonded without chemical glues for maximum durability.
• Signature textured tire tread toe cap shields the front of the shoe against scuffs and scrapes.
• Metallic silver eyelets hold the tonal cotton laces securely around the upper ankle.
• Neutral Sand colorway delivers a versatile earth tone that pairs easily with seasonal wardrobe pieces.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Autumn and spring city commutes, weekend travel, damp park walks, and outdoor gatherings.
• Pairing alongside relaxed cotton chinos, dark indigo denim jeans, or heavy workwear trousers.
• Shoppers needing a water resistant high top canvas sneaker made using traditional sustainable practices.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Designed by the brand to run slightly generous in length with a spacious toe box.
• Novesta recommends to choose your usual European shoe size, or size down if you typically sit between two sizes.
• Extended high top ankle cut holds the foot securely to minimise heel slip while walking.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Wipe away surface mud and grit using a soft damp cloth or sponge with cold water.
• Do not wash in a washing machine or use detergents, as heat and soap strip the protective wax coating.
• Air dry naturally at room temperature away from hot radiators or direct sunlight.
• Reapply a specialised garment fabric wax occasionally to restore water repellency over time.

Novesta Star Dribble Wax Shoes - Our FAQs

1. How water resistant are the Novesta Star Dribble Wax Shoes in Sand? The waxed cotton canvas upper effectively sheds rain, surface dew, and puddle splashes, though they are not fully waterproof under standing water.
2. How do Novesta high top sneakers fit compared to standard sizes? They fit slightly long through the footbed. If you fall between sizes, opting for the smaller size usually gives the best fit.
3. Why are Novesta soles built without using glue? Novesta uses a traditional vulcanisation process where the rubber sole is heat molded directly onto the upper, making the bond highly durable and eco-friendly.
4. What is the best way to clean these waxed canvas shoes? Clean them gently with a damp sponge and cool water only, avoiding machine washing cycles and harsh soaps.
5. Do these high tops provide good ankle comfort? Yes, the extended canvas collar is padded around the ankle to provide gentle support without rubbing or restricting movement.
