FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass or artificial turf?
The HOCKEYSTAR trainers are designed primarily for field hockey pitches, including sand-based and water-based artificial turfs.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the synthetic upper. Always clean by hand.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
They feature a regular fit, generally consistent with standard UK athletic shoe sizing.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, they are designed as unisex trainers suitable for any adult player, provided the correct size is chosen.
How often should I replace these hockey shoes?
Depending on the frequency of play, you should inspect the outsole lugs; once the lugs are worn smooth, traction is significantly reduced, and they should be replaced.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of durable synthetic materials and textile fabrics.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on the pitch
Clean the lugs thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris that hinders the rubber contact.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Re-lace the shoes using a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to increase midfoot and heel security.
Midsole feeling less cushioned
Check if the inner lining or the stock insole has shifted; adjust or replace with a sports-specific insole for renewed support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOCKEYSTAR trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are tightened firmly but comfortably to ensure the midfoot is supported. Wear athletic socks that match the arch profile of your foot.
- Break-in: While the shoes are comfortable from day one, allow 1-2 training sessions for the upper to flex naturally with your stride.
- Cleaning: After play, remove loose dirt and mud using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent synthetic material degradation. Remove inner insoles if they become damp to allow for better airflow.
