New Balance CT302 - Black - Beige - Low Shoes - UK 5.5

The New Balance CT302 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for everyday wear. While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for high-impact or specialized athletic activities like running.

Refer to New Balance's official size chart and measure your foot length. As these are unisex, ensure you check any specific recommendations for men's or women's conversions if needed.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe.

The CT302 often features a slightly more modern silhouette and unique colorways compared to very traditional court shoe models, while retaining the core court-inspired DNA.

The 'Black Calm Taupe' colorway typically combines a primary black with subtle beige or taupe accents, offering a sophisticated and muted aesthetic as described.

With regular cleaning and conditioning, the high-quality leather upper is designed to be durable and can last for several years of normal wear.

Wear them with medium-weight socks for a short period to allow the leather to stretch slightly. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Avoid over-conditioning.

Use a brush or damp cloth to gently clean the rubber outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Replace frayed laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
