FAQs
Can these be used for other sports?
These trainers are specifically engineered for field hockey. While they may work for other field sports, they perform best on artificial hockey turf.
How do I clean the trainers?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not put them in a washing machine.
Are these suitable for indoor hockey?
They are designed primarily for outdoor field surfaces. Check with your indoor league to see if the outsole grip is appropriate for your specific indoor court surface.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally follow standard UK children's footwear sizing. If the player wears thick hockey socks, you may want to account for the extra volume.
Troubleshooting
Loss of traction on the field
Check the outsole for compacted mud or debris caught in the tread; clean thoroughly with a brush.
Foot discomfort during long matches
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened and consider checking if the size is still appropriate for the child's growing feet.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the player wears standard athletic hockey socks to provide the correct cushioning and volume inside the shoe. To maintain the structural integrity of the trainers, avoid using them on non-field surfaces like concrete or asphalt, as this will degrade the tread pattern prematurely. After each session, remove any accumulated mud or grass using a soft brush. If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the adhesive.
