The ASICS Upcourt 6 is engineered for indoor court athletes seeking a blend of comfort, stability, and agility. Its key benefit lies in providing maximum stability and a breathable, adaptable fit crucial for quick directional changes and explosive movements on court. While highly effective for specific indoor sports, it's primarily designed for court performance and may not offer the same versatility as a general training shoe.

The ASICS Upcourt 6 is built for the demands of fast-paced indoor court sports. The breathable mesh underlays are particularly beneficial during long matches, preventing overheating and discomfort, allowing you to maintain focus. For instance, in a high-intensity volleyball game, your feet will remain cooler and drier, reducing the risk of blisters.
Its maximum stability is a game-changer for athletes performing sharp cuts and lateral movements, such as a badminton player lunging for a drop shot or a squash player changing direction rapidly. This stability helps prevent ankle rolls and provides confidence in every stride.
The lightweight design directly translates to increased agility. Whether you're making quick shuffles in table tennis or jumping for a spike in volleyball, the shoe doesn't weigh you down, enabling quicker reactions and less fatigue. The combination of these features ensures that the Upcourt 6 supports explosive movements and sustained performance on the court.

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.
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.
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).
