Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the New Balance CT302 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash leather trainers in a machine, as water submersion can ruin the material and glue bonds.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, it is not fully waterproof; applying a leather protector spray is recommended for extra defense against light rain.
Are these suitable for gym use?
These are lifestyle fashion trainers. While they are stable for light activity, they lack the specific support and cushioning needed for high-intensity gym workouts.
How do I store my CT302s to keep them clean?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally stuffed with paper or a shoe tree to retain shape.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Replace the standard cotton laces with waxed cotton laces for a more secure knot hold.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when the sneakers are not in use to help maintain the leather structure.
Scuff marks on white leather
Use a white leather-specific eraser or a tiny amount of non-gel toothpaste on a cloth to buff out superficial scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required beyond adjusting the laces to your desired tension. To ensure compatibility, verify your specific UK size, as the CT302 series is available in various fittings. For care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the leather. For the white leather sections, utilize a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a damp cloth to lift dirt. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to dry out and crack.
