FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass fields?
These shoes are specifically designed for artificial hockey turfs. While they may work on short grass, the grip pattern is optimized for synthetic surfaces.
How do I choose the right size?
The Fabela X Empower comes in standard UK sizing for women. It is recommended to leave about half a thumb's width of space at the front for comfort during play.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and mechanical stress can ruin the structural stability and adhesive components.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are designed to be water-resistant and breathable for field use, but they are not fully waterproof, especially in heavy downpours.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the Fabela X series includes a structured footbed designed to offer midfoot support suited for the rigors of field hockey.
Troubleshooting
Loss of traction on the pitch
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any build-up of dirt or synthetic rubber from the turf, which can mask the grip pattern.
Discomfort during long sessions
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and using appropriate athletic socks to prevent friction and ensure the cushioning works as intended.
Build-up of interior odor
Remove the insoles after use to allow them to air out separately and use an athletic-safe deodorizing spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Fabela X Empower shoes last through the season, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: After every game, remove mud and turf debris using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a tumble dryer or directly against a heater, as intense heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid leaving them in a wet gym bag, which can encourage odors and material degradation.
- Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for field hockey turfs. Avoid wearing them on concrete or indoor gym floors, as this can wear down the specialized traction studs prematurely.
