The Novesta manufacturing factories date back to the 1930s when the famous shoemaker Jan Antonín Baťa opened his new factory in a small town in the middle of Slovakia—Partizánske. Novesta is one of the last purely European brands to remain operating in its original premises, working by the original method on good old-fashioned machines that require a great deal of precision handwork.
Novesta products were and are designed to last as long as possible. Our traditional production method requires high-quality materials (certified to the highest possible quality), combined with minimalist and timeless design, transcends fashion trends and allows for long-lasting use. In addition, many Novesta products can be washed or laundered. Despite this, they also have replaceable insoles, which also contribute to the longer life of individual products.
