FAQs
Is the New Balance CT302 suitable for running?
No, the CT302 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for running or high-intensity athletic activities.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dry brush designed for suede to remove dirt and a suede eraser for spot cleaning. Avoid soaking the material in water.
Does the stacked midsole make the shoe heavy?
While the stacked midsole adds some weight compared to minimal sneakers, it is engineered to be lightweight enough for comfortable all-day use.
Is this a unisex model?
The CT302 series features various options; this specific model is listed as a male variant in UK size 8.5.
Will the suede stretch over time?
Like most suede footwear, the material may conform slightly to your foot shape over time, but it generally maintains its structure well.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or flat
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently stroke the material in one direction to restore the nap.
Visible water or dirt spots on suede
Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a suede eraser to gently rub away surface stains before brushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance CT302 stays in prime condition, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water and dirt can permanently damage the suede surface. If they become dusty, use a dry suede brush to lift the fibers and remove debris. For deep cleaning, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Since these are a standard male fit in UK 8.5, ensure you are wearing appropriate mid-weight socks to maintain the correct fit profile.
