FAQs

What sport are the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Trainers primarily designed for?

These trainers are specifically designed for volleyball and other indoor court sports, offering the necessary support, stability, and grip.

What does 'GS' in the product name stand for?

'GS' stands for 'Grade School', indicating that these trainers are designed for children and young athletes.

How do the mesh inserts benefit the wearer?

The mesh inserts provide enhanced breathability, promoting airflow to keep feet cooler and more comfortable during intense physical activity.

Are these trainers durable for active kids?

Yes, they feature reinforced toe and heel shell sections with durable inserts, specifically designed to withstand the wear and tear associated with active play and court movements.

How should I clean the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Trainers?

You can clean the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber sole, a gentle scrub with a brush and mild soap will remove dirt. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Is the insole environmentally friendly?

Yes, the insole is made using a paste dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% compared to conventional dyeing methods.

Can these trainers be used for everyday wear or other sports?

While optimized for volleyball, they can provide basic support for general indoor activities or light physical education. However, for specialized sports, trainers designed for those specific activities might offer better performance and protection.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lace tension. Ensure you're lacing evenly from the bottom to the top. If the issue persists, double-check that you have the correct size for your child's foot.

Foot feels too warm or sweaty.

The mesh inserts are designed for breathability. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate athletic socks made of moisture-wicking material. Allow trainers to air out completely after each use.

Sole grip seems to be diminishing.

Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue that may be affecting traction. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the court surface is also clean.

Unpleasant odour from trainers.

Remove insoles and allow both the insoles and trainers to air out completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the trainers when not in use. Ensure trainers are dry before storage.

Visible wear on toe or heel despite reinforcement.

While reinforced, constant intense friction can still cause wear. Regularly inspect for damage. For minor scuffs, gentle cleaning may suffice. If structural integrity is compromised, consider replacement to prevent injury.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Optimized for volleyball, providing excellent court performance.
  • Mesh inserts offer superior comfort and breathability.
  • Reinforced toe and heel enhance shoe durability.
  • Sustainable insole dyeing process reduces environmental impact.
  • Lace-up closure provides a secure and customizable fit.
  • Unisex design suitable for all young athletes.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for volleyball, might not be ideal for other sports requiring different sole patterns or support.
  • "Other materials" for uppers may lack specific material details for some users.
  • Flat heel might not suit personal preferences for arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Trainers is straightforward:

  1. Lace Up: Unlace the trainers sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
  2. Adjust Fit: Once your foot is in, tighten the laces evenly from the toe to the ankle. Ensure a snug fit that's comfortable but not restrictive.
  3. Double Knot: Tie your laces securely to prevent them from coming undone during play.

Compatibility

These trainers are specifically designed for volleyball and are suitable for kids (Grade School, indicated by 'GS'). They feature a unisex design, making them appropriate for all young athletes. While optimized for court sports, they can also be used for general indoor physical education or light athletic activities where a stable, non-marking sole is beneficial.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. The rubber sole can be scrubbed gently with a brush to remove dirt.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Odour Control: If odours develop, remove the insoles and air them out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.
  • Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
