FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass pitches?
The Orbit trainers are primarily optimized for synthetic hockey surfaces, though they can be used on grass if conditions are dry.
How do I determine if the size is correct?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, you can remove the standard insoles to replace them with custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are designed with mesh for breathability, meaning they will allow water through if played in wet conditions.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine.
Is this model unisex?
Yes, the Kookaburra Orbit trainers are designed as unisex footwear suitable for any player finding their correct size.
Troubleshooting
Excessive slipping on pitch
Clean the outsole of any mud or compacted sand that may be obstructing the grip pattern.
Discomfort during extended play
Ensure the laces are tied with proper tension; check that the insole is seated correctly and not bunched.
Visible wear on the toe area
While the toe is reinforced, regular inspection is recommended; avoid dragging the toe unnecessarily during non-essential movements.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Lightweight profile minimizes foot fatigue

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, it is recommended to ensure the trainers are properly laced before stepping onto the pitch to prevent heel slippage. These trainers are compatible with all standard synthetic and sand-based hockey pitches. For maintenance, remove loose dirt and debris from the outsole after each match using a soft brush. If the trainers become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the upper materials or glues from degrading. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the EVA midsole.
