FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?

Can I use these for running?

Are they true to size?
The adidas HOCKEYSTAR trainers follow standard sizing; however, it is recommended to wear your usual sports shoe size.
How do I clean the textile lining?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently scrub the interior, then let them air dry.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber outsole is designed to be non-marking, suitable for most indoor and outdoor court or field surfaces.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Check that the laces are pulled tight enough across the midfoot to prevent internal sliding.
Accumulation of turf pellets in the shoe
Ensure the tongue is properly centered and the laces are securely tied to close the gap around the ankle.
Outer sole losing grip
Clean the lugs thoroughly with a soft brush to remove impacted dirt or synthetic fibers that may be blocking the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOCKEYSTAR trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb-width of space at the front of the shoe. Use the laces to secure the midfoot, but avoid over-tightening which can restrict circulation.
- Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for field hockey pitches. While they can be worn elsewhere, the outsole is designed for performance turf.
- Cleaning: After use, tap the soles together to remove loose debris. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent odor buildup and preserve the materials.
