NEW TO HOCKEY?

Your main focus will be learning the basics and getting confident on the turf.

What to look for in a pair of hockey shoes:

1. GOOD GRIP
Look for a rubber tread pattern on the bottom, it will help provide more traction when stopping and turning.

2. COMFORT
Ensure the sole fits well without being too tight or loose, with enough space at the toe so your foot can move slightly.

MEANS MORE MOVEMENT, MORE GRIP, MORE PERFORMANCE.

Focus on:

1. CUSHIONING
Make sure your turf shoe has enough cushioning to absorb running impact and turning motions.

2. BREATHABILITY
As you start training more frequently, having a pair of turf shoes that dries quickly is important so they can maintain their shape and support throughout the season.

As your training and games increase you need shoes that can keep up!

Look for:

1. FLEXIBILITY & PROTECTION
Make sure your shoes mould to your feet, without sacrificing protection. Check for added toe protection.

2. DURABILITY
Training 4–5 times a week places high demands on your body and your footwear. Investing in quality shoes that last and can keep up with your schedule is crucial.
