FAQs

What does 'GS' in ASICS Upcourt 6 GS stand for?

'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are designed and sized for children and young athletes.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor sports?

No, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports. The outsole material and tread pattern are optimized for indoor surfaces and may wear out quickly or provide inadequate grip if used outdoors.

How do I clean my ASICS Upcourt 6 GS shoes?

We recommend hand-cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap for external surfaces. Remove insoles for separate washing and air drying. Do not machine wash or use harsh cleaning agents, as this can damage the shoe's materials and construction.

Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?

Yes, the insoles in most ASICS shoes, including the Upcourt 6 GS, are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or preferred aftermarket insoles for personalized comfort and support. Always check by removing the factory insole first.

What sports are these shoes best for?

These shoes are primarily designed for indoor court sports that require quick movements, lateral stability, and good grip. They are ideal for volleyball, badminton, squash, and similar athletic activities.

How does the sustainable insole benefit me?

The insole's paste dyeing process significantly reduces water usage during manufacturing, contributing to a more environmentally friendly production. While its primary benefit is ecological, it maintains the same comfort and performance standards as traditional insoles.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel uncomfortable or hot during play.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks designed for breathability. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly. The mesh inserts are designed for ventilation, but extended play or tight lacing can still cause heat buildup. Consider taking short breaks to air your feet.

The shoes feel too loose or too tight.

First, re-adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. If the issue persists, verify that you have the correct shoe size. Refer to the ASICS size chart, as fit can vary slightly between models and brands. Trying them on with your typical athletic socks is also recommended.

The shoes are slipping on the court surface.

Clean the outsoles thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or residue that might be reducing traction. Use a damp cloth to wipe the bottom of the shoes. If the outsoles appear worn smooth, it may be time to consider replacing your shoes, as traction is critical for indoor court sports.

There's an odor coming from the shoes.

Remove the insoles and air out the shoes after each use. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and on the insoles overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Wash insoles gently by hand with mild soap and water, then air dry completely. Consider using anti-odor shoe sprays or inserts.

The reinforced areas are wearing down faster than expected.

While the toe and heel sections are reinforced for durability, extreme and continuous friction or dragging can still lead to wear over time. Ensure proper footwork techniques to minimize excessive dragging. Regularly inspect these areas for early signs of wear and consider rotating between pairs of shoes if you play frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. 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.
  2. 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:

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
