FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for indoor hockey?
These shoes are designed for field turf or grass. While they may work on indoor surfaces, the lugged outsole is optimized for field traction and may feel stiff on flat wooden or synthetic gym floors.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the materials and the cushioning properties of the EVA midsole.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the HOCKEYSTAR range is designed as a unisex fit, though players should check the UK size conversions to ensure the correct fit.
Do I need to wear specific socks with these?
While not strictly required, wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks will complement the breathable textile lining and help prevent blisters.
What should I do if the laces keep coming undone?
Double-knot your laces or ensure they are pulled tightly across the eyelets to maintain consistent pressure during play.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel slippery on the pitch.
Ensure the lugged outsole is free of caked-in mud or debris, which can obscure the tread pattern.
Experiencing discomfort at the heel.
Check that the internal padding has not folded over and ensure your laces are tightened sufficiently to lock the heel in place.
Midsole feeling less responsive over time.
EVA foam has a finite lifespan; if you play multiple times a week, consider rotating with another pair to allow the foam to decompress between uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas HOCKEYSTAR trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumbs-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural swelling during exercise.
- Lacing: Tighten the laces securely before every use to prevent the shoe from sliding on your foot, which can cause blisters.
- Cleaning: After playing, remove excess mud or turf rubber using a soft brush. If needed, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or using heaters, as excessive heat can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
