FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The HOCKEYSTAR trainers are made of breathable synthetic and textile materials and are not fully waterproof, though they handle damp field conditions well.
Can I use these for other sports?
While designed for hockey, the grip and cushioning make them suitable for other field-based sports, though they are specifically optimized for turf surfaces.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs that may damage the textile weave.
Do these come with removable insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The trainers feature a regular fit. Those with wider feet may find the standard sizing snug, though the materials offer some flexibility.
Is the sizing consistent with other adidas trainers?
Generally, yes. If you are familiar with adidas sizing, you should find the same size fits similarly.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction during play
Check the lug outsole for trapped mud or debris and clean with a stiff-bristled brush.
Heel slippage
Try a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle.
Excessive moisture inside
Remove the insoles after play and allow the trainers to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOCKEYSTAR trainers, begin by adjusting the lace closure to match your foot's natural volume, ensuring it is snug but not restrictive. These trainers are optimized for adult hockey players and are compatible with standard field hockey gear. For care, remove excess mud or turf rubber from the lug outsole after every session to maintain traction. Clean the upper with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a high-heat clothes dryer, as excessive heat can degrade the integrity of the EVA midsole and synthetic materials.
