Novesta goes all the way back to 1939, when shoemaker Jan Antonin Bata set up shop in a tiny town in Slovakia. Today, not much has changed—it handcrafts footwear from the very same factory and remains one of the last purely European produced brands. The secret ingredients to its winning recipe? Tradition, heritage, and rugged determination, tried and tested by generations. That’s why Novesta plimsolls are arguably one of the most enduring shoes out there.
Designed to stick with you for the long run, the brand’s minimalist footwear outlives any come-and-go trend. Browse our range of Novesta women’s shoes for easy to wear simplicity. You’ll find the original low top Star Master, instantly recognised by its chunky sole and ridged vulcanisation marks. With roots as a military sports shoe, you can be sure that they’ll withstand pretty much anything and are made using traditional and reliable machinery.
If you're more of a high-top fan, head straight to the line-up of Novesta high tops for women, including the star of the game: the Star Dribble. From the hardwood to the street, this takes a nod to old-school basketball styles with variations of plush corduroy, contrast stitch and canvas in colourful seasonal palettes.
Or, you can jog on to the Marathon, a retro runner styled in a whole host of different materials and colour variations—heel to toe black, rugged tonal suede and that lugged sole—all with extra cushioning for city stomping.
The Slovakian brand may value its past, but the future is just as important. Embarking on its journey to a more sustainable future, the women’s Star Master and Dribble styles have GOTS organic cotton-certified uppers and natural rubber soles, while washable materials withstand a lifetime of wear, becoming part of your forever footwear collection.
