FAQs
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
GS stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are designed and sized specifically for children in that age range.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS is primarily designed with non-marking outsoles for optimal performance and traction on indoor court surfaces. Regular outdoor use, especially on rough surfaces, may accelerate wear and affect performance.
How does the insole's dyeing process help the environment?
The insole uses a paste dyeing process which significantly reduces the amount of water required during manufacturing by approximately 33% compared to traditional dyeing methods.
How often should I clean these shoes?
It is recommended to wipe down the exterior of the shoes after every few uses, especially if playing on dusty courts. For deeper cleaning, follow the care instructions in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section as needed to maintain hygiene and appearance.
Can I put the insoles in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the insoles or the shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials and adhesives. Hand wash insoles separately with mild soap and water, then air dry.
What kind of support do these shoes offer for young athletes?
These shoes offer reliable support for dynamic indoor court movements, with a focus on stability for quick directional changes and reinforced areas for durability during typical athletic actions. They are designed to support the general needs of junior athletes in indoor sports.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Ensure you have the correct size for your child's foot. Allow for a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to the foot. Adjust lacing for a snug yet comfortable fit.
Unpleasant odor develops in the shoes.
After each use, remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air dry completely. Consider using athletic shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Reduced grip on indoor court surfaces.
Clean the outsoles regularly to remove dust and debris that can reduce traction. Use a damp cloth to wipe the sole and let it air dry. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.
Premature wear on the toe or heel areas.
While the shoes have reinforced sections, extremely aggressive toe-dragging or heel-striking can still cause wear. Review your child's movement patterns and ensure proper technique for their sport to minimize excessive friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
There is no complex setup required. Simply unbox your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes, ensure they fit comfortably, and lace them securely before any activity.
Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for indoor court sports. They are ideal for activities like volleyball, badminton, squash, and other sports played on indoor hard surfaces. While they can be worn casually, their technical features are optimized for specific athletic demands on courts. The 'GS' in the name stands for 'Grade School', indicating they are sized and designed for children.
Care
Cleaning: To clean your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials. For stubborn dirt on the sole, a soft brush can be used.
Drying: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and ensure insoles are dry. If insoles become wet, remove them to dry separately to prevent odor and maintain hygiene. Storing shoes in a well-ventilated area will help prevent odor buildup and maintain their condition.
