FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are designed with breathable mesh for airflow, meaning they are water-resistant to a degree but not waterproof.
Can I use these for indoor gym training?
While you can wear them indoors, the outsole is specifically optimized for field hockey turf; smooth indoor surfaces may provide less grip.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap. Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a dryer.
What is the benefit of the Sensepods?
The Sensepods fill the empty space around your heel to prevent slippage and provide a customized, locked-in feel.
Are these shoes gender-specific?
This specific model is designed for a male fit, though sizing should be checked against your standard UK measurement.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping during play
Ensure the laces are looped through the top eyelet to create a runner's loop for a more secure lock-down.
Mesh upper accumulating dirt
Allow the mud to dry completely before gently tapping the shoes together and brushing off the debris.
Cushioning feeling stiff
The Bounce foam requires a brief break-in period; wear the shoes for a few light training sessions to maximize flexibility.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior heel lockdown with Geofit Sensepods
- Highly breathable mesh upper for moisture management
- Responsive cushioning for improved agility
- Environmentally conscious design using recycled materials
- Durable synthetic overlays for increased protection
Cons
- Outsole tread is specialized for grass/turf and may wear down on abrasive concrete
- Not intended for non-hockey sporting activities
- Requires proper sizing for Geofit pods to engage correctly
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the laces are tightened evenly to allow the Geofit heel pods to contour correctly to your foot. Before your first match, it is recommended to wear the trainers during a short practice to allow the materials to break in. Compatibility is limited to standard field hockey pitches; using these on indoor concrete or wooden courts may result in premature tread wear. For care, avoid machine washing. Instead, remove excess dirt with a soft brush after each session and air dry them away from direct heat sources to preserve the foam's integrity and the mesh structure.
