FAQs
How do I determine the correct shoe size for the New Balance CT302?
Measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. If your foot length falls between two standard sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
What material are the New Balance CT302 trainers made of?
The New Balance CT302 trainers are primarily constructed from leather, offering a premium look and feel.
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?
The CT302 is designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. While comfortable for walking, it is not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running or rigorous training.
How should I clean the white leather upper?
Wipe the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner and a clean, dry cloth for buffing.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the leather material. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth or leather cleaner is the preferred method.
What is the primary design inspiration for the CT302 series?
The CT302 series draws inspiration from vintage court shoes, combining classic aesthetics with modern comfort features.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the sizing guide provided in the product description. Measure your foot length and consider ordering the next size up if your measurement falls between sizes. If the shoes are already purchased and don't fit, consider if a different size might be more appropriate.
Leather scuffs or marks appear.
Gently clean the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft cloth, then buff with a clean, dry cloth.
Reduced grip or slippery sole.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris like mud or small stones. If the sole appears worn, it may be time to consider replacement.
