FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature a textile lining and synthetic construction which handles damp pitch conditions well, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.
Can these be used for other sports?
While they are versatile, they are specifically optimized for field hockey. Using them for sports like basketball or tennis may not provide the appropriate support.
How do I determine my size?
The HOCKEYSTAR follows standard adidas sizing for adults. We recommend using your existing adidas footwear as a reference point for your UK size.
Do I need to break these in?
Most users find them comfortable immediately, but wearing them for a short training session before a full match can help the materials conform to your feet.
How should I clean the white portions?
Use a mild soap and a soft cloth to gently wipe the white areas. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which can damage the synthetic material.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels loose inside the shoe during play
Re-lace the shoes using a 'runner's loop' or ensure the laces are pulled tight through the mid-foot section to lock the heel in place.
Outer sole losing grip on the turf
Check the outsole for compacted mud or synthetic infill trapped between the lugs; clear out any debris with a brush.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction on synthetic turf
- Effective shock absorption via EVA midsole
- Stable locked-in feel due to reliable lacing system
- Padded heel design minimizes discomfort
Cons
- Not intended for everyday casual walking on concrete
- May require a break-in period for the synthetic upper
- Specialized tread pattern may wear faster on abrasive surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOCKEYSTAR trainers last through the season, follow these steps:
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from the bottom eyelets to the top to achieve a secure fit before stepping onto the pitch.
- Cleaning: After play, remove loose dirt or debris from the outsole using a soft brush. If the trainers become wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Surface Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for synthetic hockey pitches. Using them on asphalt or concrete will significantly decrease the lifespan of the rubber lugs.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a well-ventilated area rather than a sealed gym bag to prevent odor buildup and allow the textile materials to breathe.
