FAQs
What sports are the ASICS UPCOURT 6 shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for various indoor court sports such as badminton, squash, volleyball, and table tennis, where agility, flexibility, and breathability are important.
How do I clean my ASICS UPCOURT 6 shoes?
Gently wipe the upper mesh and sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine. Allow them to air dry completely.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS shoes generally run true to size. For the best fit, we recommend referring to a size chart and considering your usual athletic shoe size. This specific variant is UK 8.
What is 'solution dyeing' and why is it important for the sockliner?
Solution dyeing is an innovative process where dye is mixed into the raw material before it's spun into yarn. For the sockliner, this means significantly reduced water usage (approx. 33%) and carbon emissions (approx. 45%) compared to traditional dyeing, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor sports?
While the ASICS UPCOURT 6 offers a versatile design, it is primarily engineered for indoor court surfaces. Using them extensively outdoors, especially on abrasive surfaces, may lead to faster wear and tear of the outsole and could impact performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust lacing to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure you have the correct size; an ill-fitting shoe can impact performance and comfort. The flexible mesh offers adaptability, but proper sizing is key.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during use
The ASICS UPCOURT 6 features breathable mesh. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. After use, allow shoes to fully air dry to prevent odor and maintain freshness.
Lack of grip on court surface
Check the outsole for excessive wear or dirt buildup. Clean the soles regularly to ensure optimal traction. If the court surface is dusty, clean shoes and consider wiping the soles before play.
Squeaking sound while walking/playing
This can sometimes be caused by moisture or dust between the outsole and the court. Ensure both the court and shoe soles are clean and dry. A small amount of talcum powder on the sole can sometimes help, but primarily focus on cleaning.

Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your ASICS UPCOURT 6 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust from the upper mesh and sole using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
