FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The CT302 is designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good support for walking, they are not specialized athletic shoes for high-impact sports.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the New Balance sizing chart. Many users find that New Balance sizing is consistent, but minor variations can occur. Trying them on in-store or checking customer reviews for fit advice is also helpful.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof shoes. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and ensure comfort.

What is the main difference between the CT302 and other New Balance models?

The CT302 typically features a blend of retro and modern design elements, often with a slightly chunkier sole than traditional court shoes, offering a contemporary take on classic aesthetics.

How often should I clean my leather sneakers?

Regular cleaning after wear is recommended. A light wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Deep cleaning with leather-specific products should be done as needed, typically when visible dirt accumulates or the leather looks dull.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

The New Balance CT302 model is often released in various colorways. Please check the product listings for currently available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Adjust lacing to your preference. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider if you need a different size or width. Consult the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements.

Leather appears dry or scuffed.

Apply a leather conditioner to moisturize the material. For scuffs, a leather repair kit or polish matching the shoe color may be effective. Address minor scuffs promptly.

Squeaking noise when walking.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole and re-inserting it, or place a thin paper towel under the insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. Their unisex design means they are suitable for adult wearers of any gender.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the leather, wipe the shoes with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material. For stubborn dirt, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the beige accents.
