Product Information

Full details

The Kookaburra Orbit Hockey Trainers are designed specifically for young, developing players who need a reliable, high-performance shoe for the hockey pitch. These trainers offer a perfect balance of lightweight agility and essential shock absorption, ensuring young athletes can move across the turf with speed and confidence. While they provide excellent traction and comfort, parents should note that these are specialized for hockey surfaces, so they may show accelerated wear if used regularly on rough concrete or asphalt surfaces.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

They are designed with water-resistant materials for standard turf conditions, but they are not fully waterproof, so avoid deep puddles.

Can these be used for school PE?

While they are comfortable, they are technically engineered for hockey; using them on concrete or wood floors will wear down the specialized hockey grip faster.

How do I determine the right size?

Use a standard UK children's sizing guide and measure the feet while the child is standing, ideally in the afternoon when feet are at their largest.

Do I need special hockey socks with these?

We recommend sports-specific socks that offer moisture-wicking properties to work in tandem with the breathable upper of the shoe.

How often should I replace them?

This depends on the frequency of play; if the outsole tread becomes smooth or the midsole feels like it no longer absorbs impact, it is time for a replacement.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too tight after a few months

Children's feet grow rapidly. Check the insole space regularly and consider sizing up to ensure proper support.

Traction seems reduced

Check the outsole for dirt or sand buildup lodged in the grip patterns and clean thoroughly with a stiff brush.

Excessive moisture inside the shoe

Remove the insole after play to allow air circulation and prevent odor buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design helps prevent fatigue during long games
  • Excellent traction specifically optimized for hockey pitches
  • EVA midsole provides essential cushioning for high-impact movements
  • Durable materials handle the abrasive nature of hockey turf well

Cons

  • Limited suitability for casual, non-sport use on rough surfaces
  • Designed specifically for hockey, lacking versatility for other sports
  • Available in specific sizes which may require careful measurement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Kookaburra Orbit trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these shoes are designed for artificial hockey turf, avoid wearing them on indoor hard courts or outdoor pavement to preserve the tread pattern.

  1. Cleaning: After each session, wipe off mud and loose grit from the outsole using a soft brush.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Never place them near a radiator or heater, as excessive heat can warp the EVA cushioning and degrade adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers are sized for children. Always double-check your child's current shoe size, as the fit should be snug but not restrictive to allow for proper foot development.
