FAQs
What sports are these sneakers best suited for?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 sneakers are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and table tennis, where quick lateral movements and stability are key.
How do I choose the correct size?
It's best to measure your foot length and refer to the ASICS sizing chart. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you'll wear during play. For men, this specific model is available in UK sizing.
Can I wear these sneakers outdoors?
While you *can* wear them outdoors for short periods, they are not designed for outdoor surfaces. Doing so can prematurely wear down the specialized indoor court outsole, affecting performance and durability.
How should I clean my Upcourt 6 sneakers?
Gently clean the exterior with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Remove insoles to air dry. Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat.
What is the primary benefit of the mesh underlays?
The breathable mesh underlays enhance airflow, keeping your feet cool and comfortable during intense activity, and contribute to a softer, more adaptable fit.
Do these shoes offer good ankle support?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 is designed to provide maximum stability, which contributes to overall foot and ankle security during dynamic court movements, reducing the risk of rolls.
How long do these shoes typically last?
The lifespan of the sneakers depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as proper care. With regular indoor court use and proper maintenance, they are designed for durability. Worn-out soles or diminished cushioning indicate it's time for replacement.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing. Sometimes a short break-in period is needed; wear them for shorter sessions first.
Feet get excessively sweaty during play.
While the mesh offers breathability, consider wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks. Ensure shoes are thoroughly air-dried after each use.
Loss of grip on court.
Check the sole for excessive dirt or dust; clean the outsole with a damp cloth to restore traction. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. If the sole is worn smooth, it may be time for replacement.
Squeaking noise while walking/playing.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or try a thin layer of baby powder underneath the insole. If the squeak comes from the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Upon first wear, ensure laces are snug but not overly tight. Adjust the lacing pattern to match your foot's arch and width for optimal comfort and support.
- Initial Wear: Wear the sneakers for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. This helps with the 'break-in' process.
Compatibility
- These sneakers are designed for indoor court sports. They are ideal for surfaces found in gymnasiums, sports halls, and indoor courts (e.g., wood, synthetic court flooring).
- They are not recommended for outdoor use, running on pavement, or general street wear, as this can prematurely wear down the specialized sole and potentially reduce performance on court.
Care
- Cleaning:
- Exterior: Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Interior: Remove insoles to air out if they get damp. You can gently hand wash insoles with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as excessive heat can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keeping them in a shoe bag can protect them from dust and dirt.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then shake it out in the morning. Shoe deodorizers can also be used.
