FAQs
What does 'GS' in the product name mean?
'GS' stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are sized and designed for children in the primary school age range.
Are these shoes suitable for all sports?
These sneakers are well-suited for general athletic activities, gym class, and especially indoor court sports like volleyball, badminton, and table tennis. They are not specifically designed for high-impact running on asphalt or specialized outdoor sports.
How do I clean the white mesh material?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and water. For tougher spots, a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
What is the benefit of the paste dyeing process for the insole?
The paste dyeing process is an eco-friendly manufacturing method that significantly reduces the amount of water used during the insole dyeing process, typically by around 33%, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Are these shoes breathable?
Yes, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS features mesh inserts specifically designed to enhance airflow and breathability, keeping your child's feet cool and comfortable.
Can these shoes be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, these shoes feature a unisex design, making them appropriate for both boys and girls.
Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty quickly.
The white color shows dirt more readily. Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper stains, use a soft brush and a dedicated shoe cleaner, focusing on the mesh and synthetic overlays.
My child complains of discomfort or rubbing.
First, ensure the correct size. Have your child try on the shoes with typical socks. Check for proper lacing (not too tight, not too loose). Sometimes, a short 'break-in' period is needed. If discomfort persists, consider checking for issues with sock thickness or foot shape.
The reinforced areas (toe/heel) are scuffed/damaged.
While reinforced for durability, extreme friction or impact can still cause superficial damage. Regular cleaning can help minimize the appearance of scuffs. For deeper damage, consider using a shoe repair adhesive for minor tears, though significant damage may require replacement.
Shoes have an odor.
Remove insoles and air out the shoes after each use. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure socks are clean and breathable to help prevent odor buildup.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneakers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, especially on the white surfaces, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soap and water. Gently rub the affected areas.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, mix warm water with a small amount of laundry detergent. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub the mesh and synthetic areas. Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water.
- Insole Care: The insole can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water if needed. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not wash these sneakers in a washing machine, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
