FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
No, the ASICS Upcourt 6 Trainers are specifically designed for indoor court sports. Their outsole and cushioning are optimized for surfaces like wood or synthetic courts and may not provide adequate support or durability for outdoor running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your toes should have a little space (about a thumb's width) at the front when standing. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without any pinching or excessive pressure.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, the insole is typically removable and can be replaced with a custom orthotic or a different type of athletic insole if desired, provided it fits well within the shoe.
What does 'paste dyeing process' mean for the insole?
It's a method of coloring the insole material that uses significantly less water compared to traditional dyeing techniques, making the production process more environmentally friendly.
How often should I clean my Upcourt 6 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after heavy use or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain their appearance and material integrity.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer's or ASICS' official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary by region and purchase date.
Are these shoes available in adult sizes?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 series is primarily geared towards kids. While some adult versions may exist under different model names, this specific guide refers to the children's sizing. Please check ASICS' product catalog for adult equivalents.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are new, they may need a short break-in period. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them, ensuring they are not overtightened.
Soles feel slippery
Check the court surface for dust or moisture. The soles are designed for indoor courts; performance may vary on different surfaces. Clean the soles with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt.
Mesh shows signs of wear
While designed for durability, excessive abrasion can occur. Ensure the shoes are only used for their intended purpose on indoor courts. For minor fraying, careful trimming might be possible, but significant damage may indicate the need for replacement.
Odor development
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry after use, especially after cleaning.

- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
