FAQs
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
In ASICS footwear, 'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that the shoe is designed for children in elementary to middle school age ranges.
Are these sneakers suitable for all types of sports?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS is a versatile sneaker ideal for general daily wear, school, playground activities, and light recreational sports. While durable, for highly specialized or intense court sports, specific sport-focused footwear might offer tailored performance benefits.
How do I find the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and refer to ASICS' official size chart for children's footwear. This specific model is a UK size 6, which is designed for junior feet.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is advised, followed by air drying away from direct heat to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the benefit of the sustainable insole?
The insole is produced using a paste dyeing process that significantly reduces water usage by approximately 33% compared to traditional dyeing methods. This makes the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS a more environmentally conscious choice.
Are these shoes durable enough for daily wear?
Yes, with reinforced toe and heel cup sections, these sneakers are designed for enhanced durability to withstand the demands of daily wear and active use by children.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. If new, allow a short break-in period. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to provide more room or less pressure on certain areas of the foot.
Feet get too hot or sweaty during wear.
Maximize the benefit of the mesh inserts by wearing moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the shoes are aired out completely after each use to prevent moisture buildup.
The outer material (especially around the toe/heel) appears to be wearing quickly.
While the toe and heel are reinforced for durability, extremely intense or abrasive activities can still cause wear. Consider rotating shoes for different activities or ensuring the shoe's use matches its intended versatile purpose rather than highly specialized, high-impact sports.
