FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for indoor hockey?
These trainers are primarily designed for outdoor synthetic pitches; their lugged outsole may feel too aggressive or unstable on hard indoor gym flooring.
How do I determine the right size?
These follow standard UK sizing for adults. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I use these for running?
While they provide cushioning, they are engineered for lateral stability rather than the forward-motion mechanics of running shoes, so they are not recommended for long-distance running.
How should I clean the white accents?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a tiny amount of mild detergent to gently scrub stained areas without soaking the material.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the HOCKEYSTAR is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults, focusing on a regular fit profile.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the pitch
Check the outsole for caked-on mud or artificial turf infill and clean the lugs thoroughly with a stiff brush.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during play
Re-tighten the lace closure or consider using a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel.
Uncomfortable pressure points
Ensure the tongue is centered and not bunched under the laces, and verify you are wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks of the appropriate thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOCKEYSTAR trainers, start by adjusting the lace closure to match your foot shape—ensure it is snug enough to provide support without restricting circulation. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic socks. For care, remove mud or debris from the lugged soles after every session using a soft brush. If the uppers become dirty, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the cushioning materials and adhesives. Always allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
