Buying Hockey Shoes

Hockey shoes are indispensable for every player who wants to move comfortably, quickly, and stably on the field or indoors. During hockey, you make many short turning movements, fast sprints, and abrupt stops. That is why good shoes are important for grip, cushioning, and support. At ProHockeySport, you will find hockey shoes for both indoor and outdoor hockey, suitable for every level and type of player.

 

Hockey Shoes for Grip, Speed, and Maximum Control

During a hockey match, feet and joints are subjected to a lot of stress. You run, turn, brake, and accelerate constantly. As a result, poor shoes can more quickly cause problems with ankles, knees, or feet. Good hockey shoes, on the other hand, offer stability and support during every movement.

 

Suitable shoes ensure more control on the field. You stand more firmly, move faster, and immediately feel more confidence while playing. Good grip is especially important on slippery water-based pitches. Therefore, choose hockey shoes that suit your playing style and surface.

 

The Right Fit Prevents Injuries

A good fit plays a major role during hockey. The shoe must fit snugly, but not so tight that it pinches. With a shoe that fits well, you prevent your foot from sliding inside the shoe. It is especially important that your feet remain stable during fast actions.

There should be about half a centimeter of space left lengthwise at the toes. This provides sufficient freedom of movement while running. Does the heel feel loose? Then the shoe is often too wide or too big. Therefore, always wear your hockey socks when trying on new hockey shoes.

 

What to look for in the fit

Enough room at the toes

Sturdy fit around the heel

Good support around the ankles

No slipping sensation during movement

Comfort during sprinting and turning

Sufficient stability during fast actions

 

Outdoor hockey shoes

Outdoor hockey shoes are specially developed for field hockey on water-based and sand fields. These shoes have a sole with small studs or a tread pattern for extra grip and fast movements. On water-based fields, sturdy support is important because the field can become slippery during play. The shoes provide grip without getting stuck during fast actions.

 

Field hockey shoes must also be able to take a beating. During matches, shoes regularly take hits from sticks or hockey balls. That is why many models are extra sturdy around the toe and sides. However, the shoes remain light and comfortable during training and matches.

 

Indoor hockey shoes for indoor hockey

Indoor hockey requires a different shoe than field hockey. Indoors, you play on a smooth floor and make quick changes of direction. Indoor hockey shoes therefore have a flat sole with a herringbone pattern. This allows you to maintain grip without leaving streaks on the floor.

Indoor hockey shoes offer plenty of freedom of movement around the ankles. This feels light and flexible during quick actions. Cushioning also plays an important role during indoor hockey. Especially on hard floors, good shock absorption helps to relieve pressure on the joints.

 

Choose the right cushioning

Cushioning largely determines the comfort of hockey shoes. Good cushioning absorbs shocks during sprinting, jumping, and braking. As a result, feet and joints feel less heavy after a training session or match.

The right cushioning also depends on the type of field you play on. On water-based pitches, less cushioning is often needed because the pitch itself already feels softer. Do you play on sand or semi-sand pitches? Then extra cushioning is actually pleasant.

 

Benefits of good cushioning

Less strain on joints

More comfort during matches

Better support during quick actions

Extra stability when turning

Less tired feet afterwards

More comfortable feeling during long training sessions
