Full details
Designed specifically for young field hockey players, the adidas YOUNGSTAR Rise CF C trainers provide the essential support and durability needed for developing skills on the pitch. These trainers feature a protective toe cap and a secure lockdown fit, making them an excellent choice for children learning the fundamentals of the game; however, because they utilize hook-and-loop closures, they are best suited for younger children who prioritize quick transitions over advanced lacing systems.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant synthetic upper, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in deep water.
Can these be used for other sports?
While they are comfortable, the lugged outsole is specifically engineered for field hockey grip on turf and may perform poorly on court surfaces like basketball or tennis.
How should I choose the right size?
The UK sizing is standard, but we recommend measuring your child's foot with athletic socks on to account for the necessary space for comfort during active play.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoes. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
What is the purpose of the toe cap?
The TPU toe cap is a safety feature that protects the toes from hard impact with the field hockey ball or other sticks.
Troubleshooting
Strap not staying fastened
Clean the hook-and-loop velcro surfaces with a soft brush to remove lint or grass debris that may interfere with the grip.
Shoes smell after heavy use
Remove the insole if possible and allow the shoes to air dry in a cool, ventilated space. Use odor-neutralizing powders or sprays designed for athletic footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last through the season, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are pulled firmly but not overtightened, allowing for proper circulation.
- Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for sand-based or water-based artificial hockey pitches. Using them on hard concrete or asphalt may cause premature wear to the rubber lugs.
- Cleaning: After play, brush off excess turf or mud using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Avoid leaving the shoes in a wet bag. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp synthetic materials.
