FAQs
What does 'GS' in ASICS Upcourt 6 GS stand for?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that the shoe is specifically sized and designed for children in the grade school age range.
Are these sneakers suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS sneakers are primarily designed for indoor court sports. Their outsole traction and material construction are optimized for indoor surfaces. Using them extensively outdoors, especially on rough terrain, may lead to premature wear and affect performance.
How should I clean the white parts of the shoe to keep them looking new?
For the white sections, promptly wipe off any dirt or scuffs with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. A soft brush can help with textured areas. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or scrubbing too aggressively to preserve the material.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the manual cleaning and air-drying instructions provided.
What type of activities are these shoes best for?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS sneakers are ideal for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis, and general gym activities or physical education classes where good grip and foot support are needed on indoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
My child's feet feel too hot or sweaty.
Ensure they are wearing breathable, moisture-wicking socks. The mesh inserts help with ventilation, but appropriate socks are key for managing moisture. Allow shoes to air out completely after each use.
The shoes are making a squeaking sound on the court.
This is often due to dust or dirt on the outsole. Clean the bottom of the shoes thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Sometimes, a very clean court can also cause some squeaking.
The shoe feels uncomfortable or causes rubbing.
Check the lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose. Make sure your child is wearing the correct size and type of socks. New shoes sometimes require a short 'break-in' period to conform to the foot.
The reinforced areas are showing wear too quickly.
While reinforced, extreme activities or improper technique (e.g., excessive foot dragging) can accelerate wear. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (indoor court sports) and consider reinforcing active play areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To use your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneakers, simply lace them up and adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure there is adequate room at the front (approximately a thumb's width) to allow for natural foot movement and any growth. It's recommended to wear appropriate sports socks for optimal comfort and moisture wicking.
Compatibility
These sneakers are specifically designed for indoor court sports. This includes activities such as:
- Volleyball
- Badminton

- Table Tennis
- General gym classes and physical education
While durable, they are not primarily intended for high-impact outdoor running, trail activities, or sports requiring specialized traction like football or rugby. They offer excellent performance on clean, indoor surfaces.
Care
Proper care will help extend the life of your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneakers:
- Cleaning:
- Wipe off loose dirt or dust with a soft, dry brush or cloth.
- For more stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) to gently clean the mesh and reinforced areas.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Drying:
- Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Do not place them in direct sunlight, on a radiator, or in a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can cause materials to shrink, warp, or crack.
- You can stuff them lightly with newspaper to absorb excess moisture and help maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage:
- Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments.
