Full details
The adidas YOUNGSTAR trainers are designed for young field hockey players who are actively developing their skills and need reliable, supportive footwear. These shoes provide a vital balance of durability and protection, featuring a reinforced TPU toe cap and a lug rubber outsole for optimal grip on the pitch. While they offer excellent stability and a secure, adjustable fit for growing feet, the hook-and-loop closure system is specifically tailored for younger children and may not suit older players requiring traditional laces.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass or turf?
The lug rubber outsole is specifically designed to perform best on synthetic hockey pitches, though they provide adequate grip on various surfaces.
Do these shoes come with laces?
No, this specific model features a hook-and-loop strap system for ease of use and a secure fit for young children.
How should I clean the synthetic upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary and avoid harsh chemicals or bleaching agents.
Can I remove the insole?
The insoles are standard for this model, but we recommend keeping the original insole in place to maintain the intended support structure.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are water-resistant to handle damp pitches, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Troubleshooting
Straps are not staying fastened
Check for debris or lint stuck in the hook-and-loop material and clean it out using a stiff brush.
Shoes are losing traction on the pitch
Ensure the lug soles are free of compacted dirt or mud by rinsing them gently and letting them air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for immediate wear; simply ensure the hook-and-loop straps are fastened snugly to provide optimal ankle and midfoot support. For compatibility, ensure the child is wearing appropriate sports socks that are thick enough to prevent friction but thin enough to maintain a good "feel" for the ground. To care for your trainers, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use on the pitch to remove mud and sand, which can degrade the lug rubber. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as the heat and agitation can compromise the synthetic materials and the integrity of the straps. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
