for hiking companions

Coordination of camping and hiking wear starts from the feet. NOVESTA's sneakers STAR MASTER HIKER MILITARY/GREY are outdoor sneakers with a strong presence that combine classic design shoes in urban colors.

NOVESTA is a shoe brand born from a manufacturer that has been making shoes for many years in Slovakia, Eastern Europe. The track record of making military sneakers around the world supports the durability and quality of easy-to-wear shoes that can be worn for a long time.

Historical manufacturing method that takes time and effort

STAR MASTER HIKER MILITARY/GREY sneakers accented with black leather and yellow shoelaces on military color canvas. This sneaker was made based on the mold used for military and work purposes since the NOVESTA factory was founded. This classic form, in which the sole slopes up and the upper is wrapped around, was made using the historic vulcanized method invented by Charles Goodyear, who revolutionized the rubber industry nearly 200 years ago. The STAR MASTER HIKER, which is created by craftsmen with time and effort, has a supple and soft sole that is durable and hard to break, so it can maintain a beautiful silhouette.

This durable and easy-to-walk sneaker can be used for camping and trekking for beginners, as the name HIKER suggests. The voluminous sole and coloring also accentuate your outfit, so it is also recommended for use around town. With its classic design, you can enjoy a sweet coordination that is not too sporty even if you match it with pants as well as a skirt. Also pay attention to the hiker motif hidden in the outsole.

Ancestor of the Eastern Europe shoes maker

NOVESTA was founded in 1939 by JanAntoninBata, the founding family of BataGroup, in a small town called Partizánske, located in the former Czech Slovakia, now in central Slovakia, to build a factory to produce rain boots and sneakers. It starts with This area later developed into the district BATA Industrial Park, which later became famous as a shoe factory. NOVESTA eventually became the largest shoe factory in Slovakia in this area, and since 1950 it has been commissioned to produce military trainer shoes all over the world.

A shoe factory specializing in rubber and canvas products, while being influenced by the Second World War, the Cold War, the socialist era and the history of national division, produces pure Slovak footwear such as military, work, rubber boots, and running shoes. We have been consistently making wear since our founding. In 1992, after the split between the Czech Republic and Slovakia, NOVESTA, a pure Slovakian sneaker brand, was born, making a name for itself as one of Europe's leading factories during the half-century since its establishment.

NOVESTA, which is particular about quality, has built a production system that clears high environmental and social standards. Almost all products are made from carefully selected natural materials such as natural rubber, cotton and linen, and 90% of the sneakers produced by the vulcanized manufacturing process are handmade by craftsmen. NOVESTA is one of the few factories in Europe that continues to aim for sustainable manufacturing that is friendly to the global environment.
