FAQs
Are New Balance CT302 trainers suitable for heavy sports?
No, the CT302 is designed as a lifestyle and casual fashion trainer, not for high-performance athletic sports.
How do I keep the black suede looking fresh?
Brush regularly to prevent dust buildup and use a suede-protecting spray to repel light stains.
Is the CT302 true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to size for adult UK measurements, but it is recommended to try them on for personal preference.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Suede can absorb water, which may lead to discoloration or damage to the material structure.
Is the CT302 a unisex shoe?
Yes, the model is designed to be worn by anyone, regardless of gender, based on the provided sizing.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the suede upper
Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface debris.
Slight scuffs on the midsole
Wipe the rubberized midsole area with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore the clean look.
Trainer feels too snug
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly and consider wearing thinner socks for a more comfortable fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance CT302 trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
