FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the shoes are designed for maximum breathability and feature a mesh upper, so they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for other sports?
While intended for hockey, the multidirectional traction makes them suitable for various turf-based field sports.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; since they feature internal heel pods, they are designed to fit snugly.
How should I clean the mesh material?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a damp cloth for spots. Avoid harsh chemicals or submersing the shoes.
Does the Bounce midsole lose its spring?
Bounce foam is durable but will naturally compress over time with heavy usage. Proper air drying helps maintain its integrity.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of heel slip inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly and check that the foam Sensepods are positioned correctly against your heel cup.
Reduced traction on the pitch
Check the outsole grid for packed-in sand or debris and clean it with a soft-bristled brush.
Odour buildup from training
Remove the insoles after play and allow them to air out; avoid machine washing which may degrade the structure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior heel lockdown with Geofit technology
- Highly breathable and quick-drying material
- Effective energy return from Bounce midsole
- Reliable traction for multidirectional agility

Cons
- Primarily designed for dry or standard turf conditions
- Synthetic overlays require occasional cleaning to maintain grip
- Fit may be restrictive for players who prefer a wider toe box
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Adipower 2.1 shoes, check the lacing tension before each game to utilize the Geofit lockdown fully. Because the upper is primarily mesh, avoid soaking the shoes in deep puddles or mud, as this can trap moisture.
Care instructions:
- After use, brush off loose dirt from the outsole to maintain grid traction.
- Wipe the synthetic overlays with a damp cloth.
- Remove the laces and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the foam midsole.
