FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for indoor hockey?
These trainers are primarily designed for outdoor field hockey surfaces. While they may work indoors, the lug outsole is optimized for turf and may be too aggressive for smooth indoor courts.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The YOUNGSTAR series follows standard UK children's sizing. We recommend wearing the socks you typically use for hockey when trying them on to ensure the correct fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive bond of the materials. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Does the TPU toe cap make the shoe heavy?
No, the TPU material is selected for its high strength-to-weight ratio, providing protection without adding significant bulk to the trainer.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Depending on the frequency of play, you should inspect the outsole lugs annually. If the lugs appear worn down or smooth, it is time to replace them to maintain safety and traction.
Troubleshooting
Loss of traction on the field
Check the outsole lugs for accumulated mud or debris and clean with a brush to restore grip.
Uncomfortable fit or pressure points
Adjust the lace tension specifically around the mid-foot area to provide more room or tighter support as needed.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles after use to allow moisture to evaporate and consider using an antibacterial spray or deodorizing inserts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas YOUNGSTAR trainers, ensure the laces are tightened before each session to maintain foot security. After playing on muddy or dusty fields, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried debris from the lug outsole. To clean the upper, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes or machine washing them, as this can degrade the synthetic adhesives. Air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
