Novesta.

Novesta are back on our books after a short hiatus, and ten years after creating our very first footwear with them. Choose from the iconic Star Master in Ecru, Navy, Black and Olive, with military-inspired contrast stitching that echoes the simplicity of our first collection together. We have also switched up the sole colour to Ecru, and added our signature UW gold canvas heel tape. Still just as wearable and workable as they were a decade ago.

For those that don’t know, Novesta has been using the same factory (in Partizánske, Slovakia) and the same techniques since 1939. The natural rubber soles on all Novesta shoes are baked directly to the upper, one-by-one—literally in giant ovens—so there is no nasty glue or chemicals, which is nicer to the planet and great for your feet. High-quality, long-lasting shoes designed to go with your daily UW? Yes, please.
