Halley Stevensons, founded in 1864
Halley Stevensons is a waxed cotton manufacturer based in Dundee, Scotland since 1864. We carry out everything from dyeing to finishing in our own factory, producing fabrics with weather resistance and texture. NOVESTA chose the company's fabrics as partners who share not only water repellency, but also a commitment to quality and long-lasting materials.

"Hybrid Aero" enjoys water repellency and changes over time
The ``Hybrid Aero'' material used is a material in which a unique emulsifying wax is infiltrated into cotton fabric and fixed using a machine. It has water repellency while suppressing stickiness, and can withstand daily weather changes. As you wear them, the wax blends into the fabric, creating a unique aging effect in the color and expression.
These shoes are not completely waterproof. Water repellency changes depending on usage conditions and age, so after using in rainy weather, wipe off dirt and moisture and dry in a well-ventilated shade.
Vulcanized manufacturing method at Slovakia factory
Halley Stevensons fabrics are transported to NOVESTA's own factory in Slovakia, where they are made into STAR MASTER's uppers. The sole is molded using the vulcanized method, which uses heat and pressure to bond natural rubber without relying on adhesives. The slight unevenness and finishing marks on the side of the sole are the unique characteristics of each pair, created by the hands of craftsmen.
Waxed cotton sneakers whose texture deepens the longer you wear them.
The WAX COTTON series is a combination of sturdy fabrics made in Scotland and shoemaking techniques inherited in Slovakia. While wearing them as everyday sneakers, you can enjoy the changes in materials and the expression of handiwork. How to choose sizeNOVESTA size guidePlease also check.
