FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for indoor hockey?
These shoes are designed for field turf. While they may work on some surfaces, the lug rubber outsole is specifically optimized for outdoor artificial turf.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using a washing machine as this can damage the structural integrity of the shoe.
Is the sizing true to size?
Yes, the HOCKEYSTAR generally follows standard adult sizing. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider half a size up.
What is the purpose of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, which helps protect your joints during high-intensity hockey movements.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during play
Ensure the laces are tightened properly, especially through the top eyelets, and consider wearing thicker athletic socks to improve the fit.
Loss of traction on the turf
Check the outsole lugs for trapped debris or mud; clean the tread thoroughly to ensure optimal grip on the surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reliable traction on field surfaces due to the lug rubber outsole
- Padded heel area improves comfort and stability
- Secure lace-up design prevents foot slippage
- EVA midsole offers excellent shock absorption for high-impact movements
Cons
- Primarily designed for field use and may perform poorly on slick indoor courts
- Limited to a regular fit profile which may not suit those with very wide feet
- Colorway options are currently restricted to the Blue/White series
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, tighten the laces before each game to secure the heel into the padded collar. For compatibility, these shoes are best paired with mid-calf sports socks to provide the right level of cushion and support. To keep your HOCKEYSTAR shoes in top condition, remove excess dirt or mud from the lug outsoles after use with a soft brush. If they become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials.
