FAQs
Is the New Balance CT302 true to size?
Most users find that the CT302 fits true to standard New Balance sizing; however, since it is constructed with suede, it may provide a slightly snug feel initially.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede material and compromise the integrity of the adhesive and foam components.
Are these sneakers suitable for gym use?
While durable, the CT302 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker and not specifically designed for heavy-duty training or performance running.
How do I clean the suede if it gets muddy?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a brush to flick off the dried soil before spot-treating with a suede cleaner.
Does the stacked midsole provide extra arch support?
The midsole provides stable cushioning for daily wear, though it is not marketed as a corrective orthotic device.
Can these be worn in the rain?
Suede is absorbent, so it is recommended to avoid heavy rain unless the shoes have been treated with a high-quality water repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Gently rub the suede in one direction using a soft-bristled brush to restore the nap.
Scuff marks on the rubber midsole
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent to gently wipe away surface marks on the rubber portion.
Interior odors
Remove the sock liner, air the shoes out in a well-ventilated area, and use a sneaker deodorizing spray if necessary.
