FAQs

What age group are the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes designed for?

These shoes are specifically designed for kids in 'Grade School' age groups, optimized for their foot development and activity levels.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor sports?

The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS is primarily designed for indoor court sports. While they can be worn outdoors, their durability and performance are optimized for indoor surfaces, and heavy outdoor use is not recommended.

How does the 'paste dyeing process' benefit the environment?

The paste dyeing process used for the insole significantly reduces water consumption by approximately 33% compared to traditional dyeing methods, making it a more eco-friendly manufacturing approach.

How do I clean my ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes?

Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove insoles and hand-wash if needed. Always air dry the shoes completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Do these shoes provide good ankle support for active kids?

The Upcourt 6 GS focuses on flexibility and a comfortable fit for agile court movements. For specific or enhanced ankle support requirements, it's recommended to consult a sports professional or consider shoes with higher cut designs if available.

What kind of activities are these shoes best for?

These shoes are ideal for a range of indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and other indoor gym activities where quick movements and comfortable footing are essential.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Check the fit; if too loose, try tying laces tighter. If too tight, you may need a different size. Break them in gradually during light activities.

My child's feet sweat excessively in the shoes.

The mesh paneling is designed for breathability. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Regularly air out the shoes after each use and remove insoles for drying.

The shoes seem to be wearing out quickly.

Confirm the shoes are being used primarily for indoor court sports as intended. Using them for heavy outdoor play on rough surfaces will increase wear. Follow care instructions to prolong life.

There's an unpleasant odor coming from the shoes.

Remove insoles and air them out. Clean the interior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use baking soda or shoe deodorizers inside the shoes, and ensure they are fully dry after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes is simple. Ensure you try them on with the type of socks you'll typically wear for sports. Walk around and perform a few light movements to check for a comfortable, snug fit without any pinching or excessive sliding. There should be a small thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for indoor court sports. This includes activities such as:

  • `Volleyball`
  • `Badminton`
  • `Squash`
  • `Table Tennis`
  • Other non-marking indoor gym activities

They are not recommended for heavy outdoor use or sports on rough surfaces, as this can accelerate wear and reduce performance.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes.

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior mesh and synthetic areas with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Insole Care: Remove insoles periodically and air them out to prevent odor. They can be hand-washed with mild soap and thoroughly air-dried.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources (like radiators or dryers), which can damage materials and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees or stuff them with newspaper to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  5. Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out in the morning. Shoe deodorizers are also effective.
