FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports other than volleyball?
While optimized for volleyball, these trainers are also well-suited for other indoor court sports like badminton, squash, and pickleball, where lateral movement and stability are key.
Can I machine wash my ASICS Upcourt 6 Trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 Trainers come with standard athletic cushioning designed to provide comfort and support during court movements. For specific arch support needs, custom insoles can often be used in conjunction with these trainers.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's best to measure your foot length and compare it to ASICS's size chart. Ensure you have about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort during activity. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
Are these trainers durable?
Yes, the ASICS Upcourt 6 Trainers are constructed with durable materials, including a robust rubber sole, designed to withstand the rigors of intense indoor court play. Proper care will further extend their lifespan.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The uppers are made from '100% other materials,' which typically refers to a blend of synthetic leathers and textiles, including the breathable mesh mentioned in the description.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight during play.
Adjust your lacing. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer starting from the toes. For more room, slightly loosen the laces, ensuring they are still secure. Experiment with different lacing patterns if discomfort persists.
Slipping on the court surface.
Check if the soles are clean. Dirt, dust, or residue can reduce traction. Wipe soles with a damp cloth before playing. If the issue persists, the court surface itself might be dusty or worn, or the shoe's tread may be excessively worn (though unlikely for new shoes).
Feet feel excessively hot or sweaty.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking athletic socks. The mesh design is highly breathable, but heavy cotton socks can trap moisture. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between uses.
General discomfort or rubbing after extended wear.
Ensure the shoe size is correct and break them in gradually. Sometimes minor discomfort can occur as new shoes conform to your feet. Check for any bunched socks or debris inside the shoe. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a professional for gait analysis or shoe fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your ASICS Upcourt 6 Trainers is straightforward:
- Lace Up: Insert your foot into the shoe. Pull the laces firmly but not overly tight through each eyelet.
- Adjust Fit: Ensure the shoe feels snug around your midfoot and heel, with enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly.
- Tie Securely: Tie the laces in a double knot for added security during active play. Avoid tying too tightly, which can restrict blood flow and cause discomfort.
Compatibility
- Intended Use: These trainers are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and pickleball.
- Surfaces: Optimized for non-marking indoor court surfaces (e.g., hardwood, synthetic gym floors).
- Not Recommended For: Outdoor running, trail running, heavy lifting, or sports requiring specialized footwear like track spikes or football boots, as the sole and support structure are tailored for indoor court movements.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning:
- Gently wipe the uppers and sole with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap.
- Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive brushes, as these can damage materials.
- For tough dirt, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used on the sole.
- Drying:
- Air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers), which can warp materials.
- You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Odor Prevention: Remove insoles occasionally and let them air out separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or damp environments.
