FAQs
What sports are these shoes best suited for?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 is specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, pickleball, and indoor tennis, providing the necessary stability and agility for these activities.
Can I wear these shoes for running or general gym workouts?
While you technically can, these shoes are optimized for court-specific movements (lateral support, quick pivots) rather than forward running. For running or general gym workouts, dedicated running or cross-training shoes might offer better cushioning and flexibility.
How do I determine the correct size?
We recommend trying on the shoes to ensure the best fit. Your feet should feel snug but not compressed, with a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. This specific model is a UK size 10 for adult males.
How should I clean my Upcourt 6 shoes?
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine. Let them air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Are these shoes durable for frequent use?
Yes, the Upcourt 6 is built for regular indoor court use. However, like all athletic footwear, durability depends on the intensity and frequency of use, as well as proper care.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 provides integrated arch support suitable for most users during court sports. If you require specialized arch support, you may consider using custom orthotics or insoles designed for athletic shoes.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during play
Ensure proper sizing; try different lacing techniques to adjust fit, or wear appropriate sports socks. A short break-in period of light use can also help the shoe adapt to your foot.
Slipping on the court surface
Check the outsole for dirt or debris and clean it thoroughly. Also, ensure the indoor court surface itself is clean and dry. Over time, soles can wear down, indicating it might be time for a replacement.
Unpleasant odor from shoes
After each use, remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing packets. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Mesh tearing or excessive wear
While the mesh is durable, extreme lateral sliding or toe drag can cause wear. Ensure proper technique during play. For minor tears, consult a shoe repair specialist. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that can weaken materials.

To begin using your ASICS Upcourt 6 shoes, simply unlace them, slide your feet in, and then lace them up firmly but comfortably. Ensure your heel is seated at the back of the shoe and there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. These shoes are compatible with a variety of indoor court sports, including volleyball, badminton, squash, pickleball, and indoor tennis. They are designed for indoor surfaces and should not be used on abrasive outdoor courts, which can quickly wear down the specialized sole. For care, after each use, loosen the laces and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area to prevent odor buildup. To clean, gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Do not tumble dry; always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris and remove it to maintain optimal grip.
