FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for other sports?
While designed for hockey, the grip and support work well for many field-based turf sports, though they are not intended for indoor hardwood or concrete.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the UK children's sizing guide provided; it is best to measure the foot at the end of the day when it is at its largest.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the EVA midsole. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
The materials are lightweight and flexible, meaning they usually feel comfortable right out of the box, though light usage helps them conform to the foot.
What is the primary surface for these shoes?
They are specifically optimized for synthetic hockey pitches.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels slippery on the pitch
Check the outsole for dirt or mud buildup; clean the tread thoroughly to restore grip.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the tension of the laces and ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks that provide adequate cushioning.
Material showing premature wear
Avoid using these trainers on concrete or abrasive hard courts, as they are designed for turf hockey pitch usage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kookaburra Orbit trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure a snug fit with approximately a thumb's width of space at the toe to accommodate movement.
- Lacing: Use the top eyelets for a more secure 'lockdown' feel if you have narrow feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose mud and debris with a soft-bristled brush after each session to prevent buildup in the outsole.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of the adhesive and foam components.
