The ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneaker excels in providing young athletes with the tools they need for indoor court sports. Its lightweight construction makes it easy for kids to move quickly and change direction, whether they're playing volleyball, badminton, squash, or engaging in other indoor activities. The flexible design of the shoe, supported by its extensive mesh paneling, ensures that the foot can move naturally without restriction, aiding in comfort during long sessions.
The reinforced toe and heel cup are particularly beneficial for sports that involve dragging or pivoting, offering enhanced durability where it's needed most. This helps the shoe withstand the typical wear and tear from active kids.
Example Application: A child playing indoor volleyball will benefit from the shoe's lightweight nature for jumping and quick lateral shifts, while the reinforced areas protect against scuffs and impacts during dives and slides. The breathable mesh keeps their feet comfortable throughout the game.
Using your ASICS Upcourt 6 GS sneakers is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Tie them securely, but not so tightly that they restrict circulation or cause discomfort. A snug fit is key.
Fit Check: Have your child walk or run a short distance to ensure the shoes feel comfortable and there's no rubbing or pinching. There should be a small gap (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
These sneakers are specifically designed for grade school children (indicated by 'GS') and are optimized for indoor court sports. This includes activities like:
Volleyball
Badminton
Squash
Table Tennis
Other indoor multi-court activities
The UK size 2 is suitable for younger children within the grade school age group. While they offer comfort for general wear, their design truly shines in dedicated indoor sports environments.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your sneakers:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior mesh and synthetic surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keeping them in a well-ventilated area helps prevent odor.
Insole Care: The insole can be removed and air-dried separately if it becomes damp or needs airing out.
