FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The New Balance CT302 is designed as a lifestyle sneaker and is not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like running. For running, it is recommended to use shoes specifically designed for that purpose.
How should I clean the black and beige leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically for footwear. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'Calm Taupe' refer to?
'Calm Taupe' refers to the specific colorway of beige used in conjunction with the black color on the shoe.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a leather protectant spray can improve water resistance.
What is the main difference between the CT302 and other New Balance court shoes?
The CT302 series typically features a modern interpretation of classic court designs, often with slightly chunkier soles or updated material combinations compared to more traditional court silhouettes.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to the New Balance size chart or measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. Typically, UK sizes are different from US or EU sizes.
What is the material of the sole?
The product information specifies a leather upper. The sole material is typically rubber for durability and traction in New Balance low-top sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs on leather
Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather repair compound or consult a professional.
Uneven wear on soles
Examine your gait. If the wear is significant and uneven, it may indicate an issue with your natural walking pattern. Consult a podiatrist if concerned. For minor wear, ensure you are walking on appropriate surfaces.
Discoloration from water
If water spots appear on the leather, try to gently wipe the entire affected panel with a slightly damp cloth to even out the color, then allow to dry naturally. Applying a leather conditioner after drying can help restore suppleness.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with new ones of similar length and material. Keep laces tied when not wearing to reduce wear.
