FAQs
What sports are the ASICS Upcourt 6 suitable for?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 is specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, handball, and pickleball. Its features are optimized for the quick, multi-directional movements required in these activities.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
No, the ASICS Upcourt 6 is primarily an indoor court shoe. Its outsole is engineered for optimal grip and durability on indoor court surfaces and may wear down quickly or provide less effective grip if used outdoors.
How should I clean my ASICS Upcourt 6 shoes?
To clean your shoes, gently wipe them with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or placing them in a washing machine. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do I need to break in these shoes?
While the ASICS Upcourt 6 features a soft and adaptable mesh fit, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the shoes to fully conform to your foot shape. Wear them for shorter periods during practice before competitive matches.
How do I know what size to buy?
Shoe sizing can vary. It is highly recommended to try on the ASICS Upcourt 6 with your typical athletic socks to ensure the best fit. Refer to ASICS' official size guide if purchasing online, and consider trying a half size up or down if you are between sizes.
What is the primary benefit of the mesh design?
The extensive mesh design of the ASICS Upcourt 6 provides two primary benefits: enhanced breathability to keep your feet cool and dry, and an adaptive, softer fit that conforms comfortably to your foot during dynamic movements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during play.
Check your lacing technique; try loosening the laces slightly, especially over the instep. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks that are not too thick. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct for your foot, as shoes can feel different after a break-in period.
Squeaking sound on the court surface.
A squeaking sound can be normal for new court shoes as they provide grip. If excessive, ensure the court surface is clean and free of dust or debris. You can also try wiping the soles with a slightly damp cloth to remove any residue that might be affecting grip.
Lack of expected grip on indoor courts.
Inspect the outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt and dust. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth. Ensure you are playing on a clean indoor court surface, as dirty floors can significantly reduce grip. If the soles are very worn, it might be time for a replacement.

First Use
- Try On: Before your first game, wear the shoes with your preferred athletic socks to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Walk around and perform some light movements to check for any pressure points.

Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
