FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Trainers are primarily designed for indoor sports. The outsole is optimized for indoor court traction. While they can be worn casually outdoors, prolonged use on abrasive surfaces may lead to faster wear and reduced grip.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or the retailer, measuring your child's foot from heel to the tip of the longest toe. Allow for a small amount of growing room, typically about a finger's width, but ensure the shoe fits snugly without being tight.
What does 'GS' stand for?
In ASICS product naming, 'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that the shoe is designed for children in that age and size range.
Can the insoles be removed for orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or specialized inserts if needed. Ensure your orthotics fit comfortably within the shoe's volume.
What is the benefit of the paste dyeing process for the insole?
The paste dyeing process used for the insole significantly reduces water consumption by approximately 33% compared to traditional dyeing methods. This makes the manufacturing process more environmentally friendly.
How often should I clean my child's trainers?
Clean your child's trainers as needed, especially after sports activities. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to remove dirt and maintain appearance. Allow them to air dry thoroughly after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. If discomfort persists, double-check that the size is correct for the user's foot. Break-in the shoes with short periods of wear before extended activity.
Soles are slipping on court surfaces
Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry.
Excessive sweating or odor
Utilize the breathable mesh by allowing shoes to air out completely after each use. Consider using moisture-wicking socks and occasionally remove the insoles for better ventilation.
Visible wear on toe or heel areas
While reinforced, prolonged intense use can still cause wear. Ensure the user is not dragging their feet excessively during play. Regular cleaning can help prevent abrasive dirt from accelerating wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal fit and comfort.
Compatibility: Ideal for indoor court sports such as volleyball, basketball, and badminton. They are also suitable for general athletic training and casual wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Insole Care: The insole can usually be removed for separate airing or cleaning if needed. Check the shoe's interior for any specific cleaning instructions.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
