Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are designed with durable synthetic uppers that are water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for other sports?
While designed for hockey, the grip and support make them suitable for other field-based training, though they are specifically optimized for turf sports.
How do I determine my correct size?
The Hockeystar 99 follows standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your normal athletic shoe size.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive bond of the sole. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber outsole is designed for outdoor pitch performance, though it is generally suitable for most standard training surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Lack of grip on the pitch
Check the rubber studs for excessive debris or mud build-up and clean thoroughly with a brush.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Re-tighten the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to ensure a secure, uniform fit across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hockeystar 99 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short periods during practice sessions to allow the synthetic upper to adapt to your foot shape.
- Fit: Ensure the laces are snug but not restrictive to maintain circulation and comfort.
- Cleaning: After play, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic materials.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can warp the EVA midsole or damage adhesives.
