FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor sports?
No, the ASICS Upcourt 6 is specifically designed with an outsole optimized for indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors on rougher terrain like asphalt or concrete will significantly reduce their lifespan and performance.
How do I determine my correct size?
We recommend measuring your foot length and referring to the ASICS official size chart for the most accurate fit. It's often helpful to try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and wear the type of socks you'd normally use for sports.
Can I machine wash my ASICS Upcourt 6 shoes?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. It's best to hand clean them as described in the care instructions.
What level of arch support do these shoes offer?
The ASICS Upcourt 6 is designed for general court stability. For individuals requiring specific arch support due to foot conditions, the standard insoles are often removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics or aftermarket arch support insoles.
How long should a pair of ASICS Upcourt 6 shoes last?
The lifespan of your shoes depends heavily on your frequency of play, intensity, and body weight. For active players, indoor court shoes typically last between 6 to 12 months. Signs of wear like reduced grip or loss of cushioning indicate it's time for a replacement.
Are these shoes unisex or gender-specific?
This particular model (ASICS Upcourt 6) is listed as a male-specific model. However, many ASICS indoor court shoes offer unisex appeal, so checking specific product details for other variants is always a good idea.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size; ASICS sizes can sometimes vary. Try adjusting your lacing technique to loosen specific areas. Allow a short break-in period, as the mesh can adapt over time. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size up.
Slipping on the court surface
Check the soles for dirt, dust, or debris and clean them thoroughly with a damp cloth. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. If the sole tread is significantly worn, it may be time to replace your shoes.
Shoe develops an odor
After each use, remove the insoles and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sachets, or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.
Mesh material seems to be stretching too much
While the mesh is designed to be adaptable, excessive stretching could indicate the shoes are too large or you're over-tightening laces in certain areas. Re-evaluate sizing and lacing technique. Avoid exposing shoes to prolonged heat, which can affect material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your ASICS Upcourt 6 is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
- Lace Up: Loosen laces, slide your foot in, and adjust for a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is secure and your toes have wiggle room.
- Break-In: While designed for comfort, it's always recommended to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the shoe to fully adapt to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. This includes:
- Wooden gymnasium floors
- Synthetic court materials (e.g., rubberized courts)
- Padded court surfaces
They are *not* recommended for outdoor use on asphalt or concrete, as this can prematurely wear down the specialized indoor sole.
Care Instructions
Proper care extends the life and performance of your Upcourt 6 shoes:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the mesh and synthetic parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers. Do not machine wash or dry.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Remove insoles to allow for thorough drying and to prevent odor.
- Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or place cedar balls inside when not in use to combat odors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures (e.g., hot cars).
- Insole Maintenance: Periodically remove and clean insoles separately according to their care instructions (usually hand wash with mild soap and air dry).
