FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for outdoor sports?
No, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneaker is specifically designed for indoor court sports. Its outsole is optimized for traction and durability on indoor surfaces and may wear prematurely or provide inadequate grip on rough outdoor terrain.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to ASICS's official size chart. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
What sports are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and other similar activities that require quick lateral movements, jumps, and stability on indoor surfaces.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and overall structure. It's best to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What does 'GS' in the product name mean?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that the shoe is designed for children in elementary and middle school age groups.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is designed to be removable, which can be beneficial for airing out the shoes, cleaning, or inserting custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Check that laces are not tied too tightly. Give the shoes a short break-in period during light activity to conform to the foot. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or a footwear specialist.
Laces keep coming undone.
Try using a double knot for added security. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not overly tight. Consider trying different lacing techniques that offer better retention.
Shoes squeak on indoor courts.
Squeaking is often a sign of good traction on a clean court. If it's excessive or bothersome, ensure the soles are clean of any debris. A light wipe of the sole with a damp cloth (and thorough drying) might help if it's due to dust build-up.
Foot odor develops.
Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each use. Remove insoles to dry separately. Use odor-absorbing inserts or powders. Ensure socks are clean and made of moisture-wicking material.
Soles show uneven wear.
Uneven wear can be normal depending on individual movement patterns. If it's very pronounced, it might indicate an underlying gait issue, which a professional could assess. Regular rotation with other footwear can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS sneakers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the sneakers from their packaging.
- Lacing: Loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and adjust the laces for a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the tongue is centered and there's adequate room for your toes to wiggle slightly.
- Break-in: While designed for comfort out of the box, a short break-in period during light activity can further customize the fit to the wearer's foot.

These sneakers are specifically designed for indoor court sports. This includes activities such as:
- Volleyball
- Badminton
- Squash
- Table Tennis
- Other gym or indoor court-based physical education activities.
Their outsole pattern and material are optimized for traction and durability on polished indoor surfaces. While they can be worn casually, their primary performance benefits are realized in their intended environment.
Care
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneakers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Insole Care: The insole can be removed and air-dried separately if it becomes damp or needs freshening up.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
