FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor tennis?
No, the Upcourt 6 is specifically designed for indoor multisport and racket sports. Using them on outdoor asphalt or concrete will significantly reduce the lifespan of the outsole.
Can I use my own orthotics in these shoes?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
ASICS generally follows standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against our sizing chart and ensuring there is about 0.5cm to 1cm of space at the toes.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesives used in the shoe. Clean by hand with a soft cloth.
What sports are these best for?
They are highly versatile for indoor activities, particularly badminton, padel, squash, and other court-based racket sports.
Do these shoes provide good ankle support?
While they are low-cut for maximum agility, they feature a reinforced structure that provides stable support during lateral movements.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court surface
Ensure the outsole is free of dust and debris by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth before play.
Feeling discomfort or pressure points
Check your lacing tension; try a different lacing technique to better distribute pressure across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your ASICS Upcourt 6 trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box for optimal comfort during movement.
- Surface Compatibility: Use these shoes exclusively on indoor synthetic surfaces to prevent premature outsole wear.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge in water or use a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to prevent material degradation.
