FAQs
What does 'GS' in the product name stand for?

Are these sneakers suitable for playing sports?
Yes, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneaker is designed to be versatile for general active use, including gym class, playground activities, and various light to moderate sports, thanks to its comfort and durable construction.
How do I know what size to buy for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart. Since these are UK sizes, ensure you are referencing the correct chart. Consider trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit, allowing a little room for growth.
What is the benefit of the paste dyeing process for the insole?
The paste dyeing process is an environmentally friendly manufacturing method that significantly reduces the amount of water used in the dyeing process, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for the best cleaning practices.
Is this shoe designed for specific foot types, like flat feet or high arches?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, allow a short break-in period; some shoes may need a few wears to adapt to your foot shape. Check that laces are not tied too tightly.
The white color gets dirty very quickly.
White shoes naturally show dirt more. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap immediately after wear will help maintain their appearance. Consider using a shoe protector spray suitable for sneakers.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes a new shoe or a loose insole can cause squeaking. Try removing the insole and dusting the inside of the shoe with a little powder, then reinserting the insole. If it persists, it might be the sole contacting a specific surface, which often diminishes with wear.
Sole appears to be wearing out faster than expected.
The durability of shoe soles can vary based on activity level, weight, and surface types. Ensure the shoe fits well to prevent uneven wear. If wear is excessive and premature, consult ASICS customer support.
