FAQs
What sports are these ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and table tennis, where grip, agility, and durability on smooth surfaces are crucial.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
No, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS sneakers are specifically designed for optimal performance and durability on indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors, especially on rough terrain, can damage the sole and upper materials.
How do I clean my ASICS Upcourt 6 GS sneakers?
Gently hand wash them with mild soap and cool water, using a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
'GS' stands for Grade School, indicating that the shoe is specifically designed and sized for children in that age group.
How does the insole contribute to sustainability?
The insole of the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS utilizes a special paste dyeing process that reduces water consumption by approximately 33% compared to traditional dyeing methods, making it a more environmentally friendly component.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS is designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for both boys and girls who participate in indoor court sports.
My child's feet are getting sore after wearing these shoes, what should I do?
First, ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit properly. Check that laces are not too tight or too loose, and that appropriate athletic socks are worn. If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist or medical professional.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel hot or excessively sweaty during play.
Ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Wear moisture-wicking athletic socks designed to pull sweat away from the skin. The mesh inserts are designed for breathability, but proper sock choice is also key.
Shoe showing premature wear on the sole or upper.
Verify that the shoes are being used exclusively on appropriate indoor court surfaces. Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces can significantly accelerate wear. Also, ensure the fit is correct; an ill-fitting shoe can lead to uneven wear patterns.
Shoes are dirty or have an odor.
Follow the hand washing and air-drying instructions outlined in the 'Care' section. For odors, ensure shoes are thoroughly dried after each use and consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets.
Discomfort or rubbing during use.
Check the shoe size and fit; ensure there's adequate room in the toe box and the heel is secure. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find one that relieves pressure points. Also, ensure socks are not bunching up inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To ensure a secure and comfortable fit, always lace the sneakers firmly but not too tightly. Make sure your child wears appropriate athletic socks (preferably moisture-wicking) to maximize comfort and reduce friction during activity. A proper fit ensures optimal support and prevents discomfort.
Compatibility
These sneakers are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. This includes gymnasium floors, badminton courts, volleyball courts, and squash courts. Using them on rough outdoor terrain, abrasive surfaces (like concrete or asphalt), or for activities they weren't intended for (e.g., trail running, hiking) can lead to premature wear, reduced performance, and may void any warranty.
Care
- Cleaning: To clean your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS sneakers, gently hand wash them using a mild soap (like dish soap or a dedicated shoe cleaner) and cool water. Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub away dirt. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners which can damage the materials.
- Drying: After cleaning, air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators, tumble dryers, or hair dryers). High heat can cause materials to shrink, crack, or warp. You can stuff them lightly with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or damp environments, which can degrade materials over time.
- Sustainability Note: The insole's paste dyeing process is designed to reduce water consumption. While this doesn't change your care instructions, it's an important aspect of the product's environmental consideration.
