Product Information

Full details

The New Balance CT302 in Pink (UK 5.5) is designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable everyday sneaker with a retro-inspired aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its versatile design, suitable for casual wear and light athletic activities, complemented by the iconic "N" logo. A potential consideration is that the fabric lining might offer less breathability than synthetic alternatives in very warm conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The CT302 is designed as a lifestyle and casual sneaker. While comfortable for walking, they are not engineered with the specific support and cushioning required for serious running or high-impact sports.

How do I know if the UK 5.5 size is right for me?

It is recommended to check the New Balance size chart for accurate foot measurements. If possible, try on a pair in a store. This specific listing is for UK size 5.5.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

It is not recommended to machine wash the New Balance CT302. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning to preserve the materials and shape of the shoe.

What are the main differences between the CT302 and other New Balance series?

The CT302 series is known for its retro court-inspired design with a slightly chunkier sole than traditional tennis shoes, offering a modern take on classic styles. Other series might focus on running, training, or different aesthetic designs.

Is the pink color fade-resistant?

While New Balance uses quality dyes, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Store the shoes away from direct sunlight when not in use.

What is the sole made of?

The sole of the New Balance CT302 is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces, or ensure the insole is properly seated. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole may help.

Color transfer from the shoe

In rare cases, dark dyes may transfer to light-colored socks. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing and consider wearing darker socks initially.

Dirt accumulation on the rubber sole

Clean the sole regularly with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain grip.
