FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The HOCKEYSTAR trainers are designed for breathability and comfort on the pitch; while they handle damp turf well, they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for running?
While they are comfortable, these are specifically designed as hockey trainers. For long-distance running, a dedicated running shoe is recommended for better gait mechanics.
How do I determine my correct size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
Are these suitable for indoor hockey?
The lug rubber outsole is optimized for outdoor synthetic turfs; verify your facility's requirements, as non-marking flat soles are often preferred for indoor courts.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a dry area with adequate airflow to prevent moisture buildup and potential odor.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose during play
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets upward to ensure a consistent lockdown across the midfoot.
Build-up of turf material in outsole
Use a stiff-bristle brush to dislodge synthetic grass fibers and rubber pellets from between the lugs to restore full grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your trainers, ensure the laces are adjusted to your personal tension preference before your first match. The shoes feature a regular fit, so they are generally compatible with standard athletic socks. For care, avoid machine washing the shoes, as this can degrade the EVA foam and adhesive bonds. Instead, wipe away turf debris and mud with a soft brush after each session. If the interior becomes damp, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry in a cool, well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
