FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for specific sports like tennis or volleyball?
While part of the Upcourt series, which often caters to court sports, the Upcourt 6 GS Sneaker is designed as a general-purpose athletic shoe for kids. It offers good support for various activities, but for very specific, high-intensity court sports, specialized shoes might offer more targeted features.
How do I know what size to buy for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the ASICS sizing chart for children's UK sizes. Always try on the shoes with the type of socks they'll typically wear, ensuring a thumb's width of space at the longest toe.
What does 'GS' mean in the product name?
'GS' stands for Grade School, indicating that the shoe is designed and sized specifically for children in elementary to middle school age ranges.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions for gentle hand cleaning and air drying.
How does the eco-friendly insole process benefit the environment?
The insole uses a paste dyeing process which significantly reduces the amount of water typically required for conventional dyeing methods. This helps conserve water resources and reduce the environmental impact of production.
Are these shoes heavy?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS is designed to be lightweight enough for children's active play, providing necessary support without being cumbersome. Actual weight can vary slightly by size.
Troubleshooting
My child complains their feet get hot or sweaty.
The mesh inserts are designed for breathability. Ensure your child is wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks and that the shoes are not laced too tightly. Allow shoes to air out after each wear.
The shoes seem to be wearing out quickly in the toe area.
The toe and heel areas are reinforced for durability. While designed for active kids, excessive dragging or scuffing on rough surfaces can still cause wear. Encourage proper foot lifting during play and inspect for fit, as ill-fitting shoes can increase wear.
There's an unpleasant odor developing in the shoes.
Remove the insoles regularly to allow them to air out. You can sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wear) or use commercial shoe deodorizers. Ensure shoes are completely dry after cleaning or use.
The shoes feel too tight or too loose for my child.
Double-check the sizing. Children's feet grow rapidly, so re-measure your child's feet periodically. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug, but not constricting, fit. Consider if a different sock thickness might help.
