FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The CT302 features a unisex design. While they offer a standard fit, the leather material may provide some flexibility. It's recommended to check user reviews or try them on if possible for the best assessment of width compatibility.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The leather upper offers some water resistance, but these shoes are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and ensure comfort.

What is the best way to clean the beige parts of the shoe?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the beige areas. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used with a soft cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct UK size?

Refer to the New Balance sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's advisable to measure your foot length and compare it to the provided chart. Many users find they are true to size, but individual fit can vary.

Are these shoes good for standing all day?

The CT302 is designed for comfort, making it suitable for extended periods of standing and walking. However, for those who require specialized orthopedic support, additional insoles might be considered.

What is the difference between this model and other New Balance shoes?

The CT302 series typically features a distinct silhouette inspired by classic court shoes, often with a slightly chunkier sole and premium material focus, differentiating it from performance-running or athletic-specific models.

Can the insoles be removed or replaced?

Yes, the insoles in the New Balance CT302 are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or alternative insoles if desired.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight initially.

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in.

Scuffs or marks on the leather.

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser very gently on the affected area. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner might help.

Squeaking noise during walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or checking if the laces are too tight.
