FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school gym class?
While they are comfortable, they are specifically designed for hockey turf. They will function in a gym, but the high-grip sole is better suited for outdoor synthetic surfaces.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
The Kookaburra Orbit trainers in this variant are a UK size 3. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe for optimal movement.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and the EVA foam. Clean them manually with a cloth or soft brush.
Are they waterproof?
The mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They will get wet in heavy rain or deep puddles.
What is the primary benefit of the stitched toe?
The stitched toe provides a reinforced barrier against constant friction and impact, which significantly extends the life of the shoe during intense field play.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole losing grip
Clean the rubber tread with warm soapy water and a stiff brush to remove accumulated turf fibers and dust.
Odors developing after heavy use
Remove the insoles if possible and air them out; sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to neutralize moisture and smells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kookaburra Orbit Trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: After play, remove excess mud or turf debris with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe the mesh and PU upper; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and EVA foam.
- Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for standard hockey turf; they may show premature wear if used on concrete or asphalt surfaces.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent odor buildup and maintain the shape of the upper.
