Featuring a breathable, water-repellent mesh upper and a supportive low-cut profile, these shoes offer an excellent balance of agility and protection on the pitch; however, players should note that the specialized moulded stud configuration is optimized for specific pitch surfaces and may not offer the same versatility as traditional turf shoes on all court types.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to shed water and keep you dry, but it is not fully submersible waterproof.
Can I use these for indoor hockey?
These are primarily designed for outdoor synthetic pitches; the stud configuration may not be suitable for indoor hard courts.
How do I choose the right size?
The Fabela X Empower is listed in UK sizing. We recommend choosing your standard athletic shoe size.
Does the mesh upper provide enough protection?
Yes, the reinforced forefoot is specifically designed to provide structure and protection for the toes and front of the foot.
How do I clean the white accents?
Use a mild soap and a soft cloth to gently spot clean the white areas, being careful not to scrub too hard against the mesh.
Troubleshooting
Studs are picking up excess mud/debris
Use a specialized boot brush or a stiff plastic tool to clear the channels between the moulded studs after each match.
Shoe feels loose during play
Re-lace the shoes using the top eyelet (the runner's loop) to secure the heel and prevent slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas Fabela X Empower Hockey Shoes remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets to maximize the stability of the midfoot lockdown.
- Surface Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for synthetic hockey pitches. Avoid wearing them on hard concrete or indoor gym floors to prevent premature wear of the moulded studs.
- Cleaning: After play, remove loose mud or turf pellets using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents, as this can compromise the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally in a well-ventilated area. Do not place them on heaters or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can warp the materials.
