Customer photo review of Novera™

Perfect everyday work shoes I work at an airport and spend most of my shift walking between terminals and standing for long periods at the counter. These shoes have been really comfortable and supportive throughout the day, even on busy shifts. They feel lightweight but still provide good cushioning for my feet and lower back. I also love that they look simple and not overly bulky like most work shoes.

Customer photo review of Novera™

Huge difference during long shifts I work at a rehabilitation center and spend most of the day walking between patient rooms. These shoes have been really comfortable even during long 10 to 12-hour shifts. The support around the arch and heel feels much better than regular sneakers I used before. My feet and lower back don’t feel as exhausted after work anymore.

Worth Every Penny I purchased these after dealing with foot pain for months. I wasn't expecting miracles, but they definitely helped. The arch support feels much better than my previous nursing shoes, and they stay comfortable even during double shifts. They've become my everyday work shoes and I'm already thinking about ordering another pair.

Customer photo review of Novera™

Great for Hospital Floors I work in a busy hospital and spend most of my shift walking between patient rooms. These shoes felt comfortable right out of the box and didn't require any breaking in. I especially like the cushioning because the floors at work are unforgiving. My knees and lower back don't feel nearly as tired when I get home.

Great shoe. I’m an experienced teacher on my feet all day. These shoes definitely kept my feet from being sore at the end of the day.

I work in a hospital and I'm on my feet for 12 hours a day, lots of steps and lots of standing. My expensive NB shoes were killing my feet, so thought I would try something else. I am happily wearing them everyday. They are cute and solid, well made and comfy.

Frequently asked questions

What size should I order?

Choose the next size up from the one you normally wear. Novera sizes run in half steps, so that is half a step, and our shoes run a little small. If you wear compression socks to work, measure with them on. The size guide has the foot lengths.

What if the size is wrong when it arrives?

Within 30 days of delivery, keep the pair you have. We send the first replacement size free of charge and nothing goes back; the only cost is a shipping and packaging fee of C$17.00 per pair (A$18.00 per pair in Australia). Write to us with your order number and the size you need.

Can I put my own orthotics in?

Yes. The OmegaX footbed lifts out, so your orthotics can go in its place.

Are they slip-resistant?

The outsole is soft natural gum rubber with a shallow lug. It has not been tested to a certified slip standard (ASTM F2913 or similar), so we do not call it slip-resistant. If your unit requires certified slip-resistant footwear, check that before you order, and take care on wet floors.

Will fluids go through the mesh?

The upper is an open knit for airflow, not a sealed barrier. A splash wipes off with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Can Novera help with plantar fasciitis or heel pain?

Many people who stand all day with plantar fasciitis or heel pain find that a cushioned, supportive shoe makes the shift easier, and that is what Novera is built to be. It is not a treatment: stretching and a podiatrist’s plan do more than any shoe.

Do you make a wide fit?

Novera comes in one width with a roomy toe box. For wide feet or a high instep, go one size up from the one you normally wear.

How do I clean them?

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let the pair air-dry away from direct heat. We do not recommend the washing machine or the dryer.

How long does delivery take?

Orders are dispatched within 2 to 3 days, most within 5. Delivery usually takes 7 to 10 working days from the shipment date, not counting weekends, and the tracking link is emailed when the parcel ships.

What is your returns policy?

A wrong size does not need a return: see the exchange above. For anything else: You have 90 days from delivery to return or exchange your pair, unworn and in the original packaging. A refund goes back to your original payment method less a 15% restocking fee, and return shipping is at your cost. Socks and insoles can't be returned. Read the full policy.
