Created in 1939 by Jan Antonin Bata, the original Novesta shoe was created with a simple but effective design and original production technique producing a finished product that is 100% environmentally friendly and that is of superior quality, providing all Novesta Shoes with a natural and handmade finish. They now have a very solid line up of styles in their collection, each delivering style and comfort with a quality feel that you can only get with a shoe made by hand.
