WHAT HOCKEY SHOE SHOULD I BUY?
The right pair can significantly enhance your performance! At HockeyDirect, we aim to help you find the best hockey shoes that match your style of play and provide great value.
Hockey shoes are specifically designed for playing hockey, providing benefits that regular trainers or football Astro shoes can't offer. While trainers and football astro shoes are suitable for kids and junior players just starting out, they lack the grip and support needed for more advanced play.
Wearing proper hockey shoes as a youth or senior player can prevent injuries caused by slipping or insufficient support. Unlike football shoes, which are designed for straight-line running, hockey shoes are built to handle the constant movement and direction changes in hockey.
WHAT MAKES A HOCKEY SHOE THE BEST?
Protection
Protection Modern hockey shoes offer excellent protection without being heavy or clunky. They are designed to protect the toes, arch, and heel these areas are most vulnerable to impact.
Grip
Grip Hockey shoes feature hardened rubber grips designed to provide traction on various surfaces, such as water-based or sand-dressed pitches. The grip pattern allows for quick movements and minimizes slipping.
Support/Structure
Support/Structure Hockey shoes offer superior support and structure, crucial for the sport's twisting and turning movements. They help keep your feet secure, reducing the risk of injury.
KIDS HOCKEY SHOES VS. ADULT HOCKEY SHOES
Kids Hockey Shoes Junior hockey shoes are softer and designed like trainers but in a hockey shoe style, making them comfortable for kids who are new to wearing hockey shoes.
Adult Hockey Shoes Senior hockey shoes provide the best grip and support for confident play. They are available in various styles and fits, ensuring every player can find a suitable pair.
HOW DO I SIZE MY HOCKEY SHOES?
For hockey shoes, we recommend going up a half or full size from your regular shoe size to accommodate thicker hockey socks and allow for slight foot movement.
