Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Start with a moderate tightness and adjust as needed for a secure but comfortable fit. The goal is to prevent your foot from sliding inside the shoe without restricting circulation.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in and allow them to conform to your foot shape before extended athletic activity.
Compatibility
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports. They are ideal for:
- Volleyball
- Badminton
- Squash
- Table Tennis
- Other non-marking indoor court activities
They are not recommended for outdoor use, running on asphalt, or general street wear, as this can prematurely wear down the specialized indoor sole.
Care
Maintaining your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes will extend their lifespan and performance:
- Cleaning:
- For external surfaces, gently wipe dirt and debris with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
- The laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if heavily soiled.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying:
- Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- You can stuff them with crumpled newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage:
- Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in damp environments, which can encourage odor and mold growth.
- Keep them out of direct prolonged sunlight when not in use.
