FAQs
Is the New Balance CT302 a unisex shoe?
While the CT302 series is widely available in unisex sizing across various colours, specific variants are marketed with gender-specific labels. Always check the sizing chart for the best fit.
How does the CT302 fit compared to other models?
The CT302 generally runs true to standard UK sizing for the brand. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.
Can I play tennis in these shoes?
The CT302 is categorized as a lifestyle trainer. While it is inspired by court designs, it lacks the technical support and traction required for professional or competitive court sports.
How do I maintain the suede accents if my pair has them?
For suede sections, use a dedicated suede brush to lift nap and remove dust. Avoid getting suede wet.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, they provide sufficient comfort for daily walking, though they are naturally heavier than performance running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently buff out marks.
Sole becomes slippery on wet surfaces
Regularly wipe the underside of the sole to remove debris, and avoid wearing on excessively slick or icy surfaces.
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases in the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, avoid direct machine washing as this can damage the leather and structural adhesives. Instead, clean the leather upper by wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For the rubber soles, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. For optimal compatibility, ensure you verify your UK sizing, as the CT302 tends to follow standard New Balance sizing conventions.
