FAQs
What sports are the ASICS Upcourt 6 suitable for?
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as badminton, volleyball, squash, and table tennis, where agility, stability, and grip on smooth surfaces are key.
Can I use these shoes for running or outdoor activities?
No, the ASICS Upcourt 6 shoes are not recommended for running or outdoor use. Their sole and design are optimized for the specific demands and surfaces of indoor courts.
How do I determine the correct size for me?
It is recommended to refer to the ASICS sizing chart. Ideally, try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, allowing for a small amount of space at the toe without the foot sliding inside.
What is the best way to clean my ASICS Upcourt 6 shoes?
Hand wash them gently with mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush for tougher dirt. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 provides standard support suitable for most athletes in indoor court sports. For specific arch support needs, consider using custom or over-the-counter insoles in conjunction with the shoes.
What does 'lightweight design for agility' mean?
This means the shoes are constructed with materials and design elements that minimize overall weight, allowing for quicker movements, faster reactions, and less fatigue during intense play on the court.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or blisters during play
Ensure you have the correct size and fit; too tight or too loose can cause issues. Wear appropriate sports socks designed to wick moisture. Allow for a short break-in period during light activities.
Reduced grip on indoor courts
Check the shoe soles for any dirt, dust, or residue that might be reducing traction. Clean the soles with a damp cloth. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.
Shoes developing an unpleasant odor
Remove insoles after each use to allow shoes to air out completely. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Avoid storing in damp, enclosed spaces.
Mesh upper shows signs of wear or damage
While durable, mesh can be susceptible to snags. Avoid dragging feet excessively. For minor damage, a fabric adhesive might provide a temporary fix, but significant damage may require replacement.

Care Instructions
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your ASICS Upcourt 6 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt from the mesh and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage materials.
