FAQs
Are the New Balance CT302 true to size?
Most users find that the CT302 fits true to size, though the stacked midsole adds a slightly more robust feel than standard court shoes.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Due to the suede material, machine washing will damage the leather. Stick to dry, manual cleaning methods.
Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?
No, the CT302 is designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe, not for performance running.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality suede, which offers durability and a premium aesthetic.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The stacked midsole design provides more structural support than a standard flat vulcanized sole, offering a stable and comfortable base for daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dust on suede
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently wipe in one direction to lift the dust from the fibers.
Midsole scuffs
Use a magic eraser or a mild soapy cloth on the rubber midsole sections, being careful to avoid contact with the suede upper.
Suede color appears dull
A suede eraser can help lift matted fibers, followed by brushing to restore the natural texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your CT302 trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them outdoors for the first time to repel water and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and revitalize the nap of the material. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser rather than water or soap.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the beige and black color pigments.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the midsole material.
