FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?

While they can be worn outdoors for light activity, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneaker is primarily designed for optimal performance on indoor court surfaces. Regular outdoor use on rough terrain may lead to faster wear of the sole.

How do I determine the correct size for my child?

It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to the ASICS size chart. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing, and that the heel doesn't slip.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Please follow the 'Care' instructions provided in this guide to clean them by hand, as machine washing can damage the materials and adhesives.

What kind of sports are these best for?

These sneakers are ideal for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and pickleball. They also perform well for general gym activities and active play due to their comfort and durability features.

What is the 'paste dyeing process' for the insole?

The paste dyeing process is an advanced manufacturing technique used for the insole that significantly reduces the amount of water required during the dyeing stage, making it a more environmentally friendly production method.

How often should I replace my child's athletic shoes?

For active children, shoes should generally be replaced every 4-6 months, or sooner if visible signs of wear (like worn-out soles, holes, or significant loss of cushioning) appear, or if your child's feet have grown.

Are these shoes heavy?

The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneaker is designed to be lightweight, promoting agility and comfort for active children during their sports and play.

Troubleshooting

My child's feet are getting too hot or sweaty during play.

Ensure the mesh inserts are clean and not blocked by debris. Consider moisture-wicking athletic socks to improve breathability and manage sweat. If the problem persists, ensure the shoe size is correct, as ill-fitting shoes can restrict airflow.

The shoes seem to be wearing out quickly, especially at the toes.

While the toe and heel are reinforced, aggressive dragging or pivoting can still cause wear. Check for proper lacing to ensure the foot isn't sliding inside the shoe. For very active kids, rotating between two pairs of shoes can help extend their lifespan. If wear is excessive despite this, re-evaluate if a more specialized shoe for their specific activity is needed.

The laces keep coming undone during activities.

Always tie laces with a double knot for added security. If the laces are old or worn, replacing them with new athletic laces can provide better grip. Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but comfortably from the bottom eyelets up.
