FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature Bounce cushioning, they are optimized for lateral hockey movements and lack the specific support required for long-distance road running.
Can I use these on indoor court surfaces?
The multidirectional grid pattern is designed primarily for outdoor field hockey turf; check your indoor facility's surface requirements first.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The Geofit pods should feel snug but not painful. If you experience pressure points, try adjusting the lacing tension through the midfoot.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They feature a breathable, quick-drying mesh which is designed to drain water effectively on wet turf, but they are not fully waterproof.
What is the best way to clean the synthetic overlays?
Use a soft brush and mild soap to gently scrub the synthetic overlays, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping inside the shoe
Re-adjust the laces to ensure they are tight enough to compress the Sensepods against your heel for a secure lock.
Reduced traction on the field
Clean the outsole with a soft brush to remove dirt or clay buildup that may be clogging the grid pattern.
Interior mesh retains moisture
Ensure the shoe is stored in a dry, ventilated place after matches; remove the sock liner to expedite the drying process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you secure the laces snugly through the top eyelet to fully activate the Geofit heel lock. Regarding compatibility, these shoes are designed specifically for field hockey surfaces and should not be used on hard court or road surfaces to preserve the outsole rubber. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each match to remove sand and debris. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the synthetic overlays and adhesive bonds. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
