FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS UPCOURT 6 are specialized indoor sports trainers, designed for lateral movements, quick stops, and stability common in court sports. While you can run in them, they are not optimized for forward-motion long-distance running and lack the specific cushioning and support needed for road or trail running.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to wash these trainers in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Instead, clean them manually with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
How do I choose the right size?
It's best to measure your foot length and consult the ASICS size guide. For indoor sports shoes, a snug but comfortable fit that allows for toe movement is generally ideal. Consider trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear for sports.
What sports are these shoes best for?
These trainers are ideal for a variety of indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis, and pickleball, where quick lateral movements, agility, and stability are crucial.
How often should I replace my indoor court shoes?
The lifespan of indoor court shoes depends on your frequency of play, intensity, and body weight. Generally, if you play regularly, they might need replacing every 6-12 months. Look for signs of wear on the outsole (loss of grip), breakdown of cushioning, or lack of support.
Do they offer good ankle support?
The ASICS UPCOURT 6 features a design focused on providing maximum stability for dynamic court movements, which includes supporting the foot's structure during lateral changes. While they are not high-top shoes, their stable base contributes significantly to overall foot and ankle security.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. The mesh inserts should provide an adaptable fit, but if discomfort persists, re-check lacing or consider if a different size is needed. Break-in period might also be a factor.
Slipping on the court
Check the outsole for excessive dirt or wear. Clean the sole to restore grip. If the sole is worn smooth, it may be time for new shoes, as the specialized indoor grip can diminish over time.
Foot odor
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use. Remove insoles for drying. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.
Laces frequently untie
Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as a double knot or specific sports knots, to secure them better during dynamic play.

Setup & First Use: Simply unbox your ASICS UPCOURT 6 trainers and lace them up. Ensure the laces are snug but not overtight, allowing for comfortable movement without restricting circulation. Take a few steps to confirm the fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for indoor sports courts (e.g., wood, synthetic indoor surfaces). They are not intended for outdoor use, as asphalt or concrete can prematurely wear down the specialized indoor sole.
Care & Maintenance:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape and absorb moisture if used frequently.
- Odor Control: For odor, remove insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes (remove before next wear).
