They offer an ideal balance of durability and agility, featuring a supportive TPU upper and shock-absorbing EVA midsoles for long sessions.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The TPU upper is water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof and are designed for breathability during active play.
Can these be used for school PE lessons?
While they are comfortable, they are optimized for turf hockey; they may not be ideal for indoor court surfaces due to the aggressive tread.
How do I choose the right size?
These follow standard UK children's footwear sizing. We recommend leaving about a half-inch of space at the toes for movement.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the midsole. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
Do these provide arch support?
The EVA midsole offers moderate support suitable for most children, but custom orthotics can be inserted if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on turf
Check the outsole for compacted dirt or sand and clean with a brush to restore grip.
Foot discomfort during play
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thickness hockey socks and that the lacing is not too tight at the top.
Material showing early wear
Ensure the shoes are only being used on designated hockey surfaces and not on asphalt or pavement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kookaburra Orbit trainers, remove excess mud or turf rubber granules from the outsole after every game. Use a soft-bristled brush to clean the TPU upper and wipe with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. These shoes are compatible with standard hockey socks. Ensure the laces are tightened adequately to lock the heel in place, but avoid overtightening near the instep to maintain proper blood circulation during active play. Always allow them to air dry at room temperature; do not place them directly on radiators or in a tumble dryer as heat can damage the midsole foam.
