FAQs
What does 'GS' in the product name stand for?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that the shoe is specifically sized and designed for children in elementary and middle school age groups.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor sports?
While durable, these shoes are primarily designed for indoor court sports. Their sole pattern and material composition are optimized for indoor surfaces. Using them extensively outdoors, especially on abrasive surfaces, may lead to faster wear and potentially reduce performance.
How does the eco-friendly insole benefit the environment?
The insole is made using a paste dyeing process, which is a manufacturing technique that significantly reduces the amount of water required during production. This results in a lower environmental footprint compared to traditional dyeing methods.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Machine washing can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and structural integrity. Please follow the hand-washing care instructions provided in the guide.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Measure your child's foot length accurately and compare it to ASICS' size chart for UK `13` children's footwear. It's also best to try on the shoes with athletic socks to ensure a comfortable and secure fit without being too tight or loose.
Are these shoes heavy?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS is designed to be lightweight to support agility and comfort during court sports. While an exact weight isn't specified, its construction with mesh and synthetic overlays aims for a balance of durability and minimal bulk.
What types of court sports are these ideal for?
These shoes are ideal for indoor court sports that require quick directional changes, lateral movements, and good grip, such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and table tennis.
Troubleshooting
My child's foot feels too hot or sweaty during play.
The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS features mesh inserts for breathability. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking athletic socks. If the issue persists, ensure the shoes are aired out properly after each use.
The shoes seem to be wearing out quickly, especially at the front or back.
The toe and heel are reinforced for durability in court sports. If excessive wear occurs, ensure the shoes are being used primarily for their intended indoor court activities and not for abrasive outdoor surfaces or general wear that can accelerate degradation.
The shoe feels uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Check that the shoe size is correct for your child. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight. If discomfort persists, consider trying different lacing techniques or checking if the insole is properly seated.
There's an odor developing in the shoes.
Remove the insoles after use and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. You can also lightly sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning. Regular cleaning, as described in the care instructions, will also help.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneakers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Insole Care: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely before being reinserted.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your sneakers, as this can severely damage the structure and materials.
