FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor sports?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS is primarily designed for indoor court sports. While they can be worn outdoors, prolonged use on abrasive outdoor surfaces is not recommended as it can cause faster wear to the outsole and upper materials.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the official ASICS size chart. Leave about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort during activity.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided in the guide for cleaning.
What kind of socks should be worn with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and performance, wear athletic socks made of moisture-wicking materials. These help keep feet dry and reduce friction during activity.
What is the benefit of the 'sustainable insole'?
The insole is produced using a paste dyeing process that reduces the amount of water used during manufacturing by approximately 33%. This makes it a more environmentally friendly component of the shoe.
How often should I replace these shoes for my child?
The lifespan of athletic shoes depends on the frequency and intensity of use. For active children, it's advisable to check for signs of wear on the sole, cushioning, and upper every few months. Rapid growth also necessitates replacing shoes when they become too small.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Check ASICS' official size guide and measure your child's foot. Adjust lacing to distribute pressure evenly across the foot. Wear appropriate athletic socks.
Poor grip or slipping on court.
Clean the outsole of the shoes with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. Worn out soles may also lead to poor grip, indicating it's time for new shoes.
Shoe showing premature wear in certain areas.
While reinforced, heavy use or specific movement patterns can still cause wear. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (indoor court sports). Consider rotating with other shoes if your child trains frequently.
Foot odor developing.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles periodically to clean and air dry them separately. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied snugly but not overly tight. A secure fit is vital for stability and support during dynamic movements.
- Fit Check: Have your child walk and perform a few light jumps to ensure the shoe feels comfortable and doesn't slip at the heel or pinch at the toes. There should be a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Compatibility
- Sports: Ideal for indoor court sports including volleyball, badminton, squash, handball, table tennis, and general gym activities.
- Surfaces: Best suited for indoor court surfaces (e.g., hardwood, synthetic court flooring). Not recommended for abrasive outdoor surfaces like asphalt or concrete, which can prematurely wear down the outsole.
- Wear: Designed for active kids who need reliable footwear for sports practice and games.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe down the outer surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (if needed). Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, and keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or shrink.
- Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and replace if frayed. Clean out any debris from the outsole grooves to maintain optimal traction.
