FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the materials are durable and suitable for outdoor turf, they are not designed to be fully waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
These are designed for the lateral movements of field hockey; we recommend dedicated running shoes for long-distance road or treadmill running.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing for easier cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if required.
How do I choose the right size?
The Hockeystar 99 follows standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your measurement against the adidas size guide to ensure the best fit.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Frequency depends on the intensity and volume of play. If the lug pattern on the outsole wears down or the midsole cushioning flattens, it is time for a replacement.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the pitch
Clean the lug rubber outsole with a brush to remove trapped dirt and debris that may be obstructing the grip.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during play
Re-lace the shoes to ensure a snug fit, focusing on the top eyelets to secure the heel into the padded collar.
Unpleasant odor after training
Remove the insoles after use and let the shoes air out in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent lateral support for quick pivots

Cons
- Specialized design may be less ideal for non-hockey sports

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Hockeystar 99 trainers, ensure the laces are tightened firmly but comfortably to utilize the built-in heel support. These shoes are unisex and compatible with standard athletic sizing. For care, remove excess mud or turf debris immediately after play using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid machine washing or drying; instead, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap, and allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning foam.
