Adidas Hockey Shoe Buying Guide
Choosing the right Adidas hockey shoes can make a big difference to your grip, comfort and confidence on the pitch. Hockey footwear needs to support quick acceleration, sharp changes of direction, low body positions, tackles and repeated movement on artificial hockey surfaces.
Which Adidas hockey shoes should I choose?
The best Adidas hockey shoes depend on how you play, your preferred fit and the level of support you want. Some players want lightweight speed, while others prefer extra cushioning, structure and stability.
What is the difference between Adidas Adipower, Adizero Lux, Fabela and Hockey Lux League?
The main difference between Adidas hockey shoe ranges is the performance focus of each model. Adipower is built around support and stability, Adizero Lux is built around speed and agility, Fabela offers strong comfort and hockey-specific support, while Hockey Lux League is a dependable all-round option for regular pitch use.
- Adidas Adipower: choose this if you want cushioning, structure and a more supportive feel underfoot.
- Adidas Adizero Lux: choose this if you want a lighter, faster-feeling Adidas hockey shoe for acceleration and quick movement.
- Adidas Fabela: choose this if you want Fabela X 2, Zone 3 or Rise 2 models with comfort, grip and support.
- Adidas Hockey Lux League: choose this if you want reliable Adidas hockey performance at a more accessible price point.
Are Adidas hockey shoes good for astro turf?
Yes, Adidas hockey shoes are designed for artificial hockey pitches and astro turf surfaces. Their hockey-specific outsole grip helps players accelerate, stop, turn, tackle and change direction with confidence during training and matches.
Hockey shoes are usually a better choice than standard trainers because they are built for the lateral movement and pitch conditions of hockey. Trainers may not provide enough grip, protection or support, especially on wet, sand-dressed or water-based pitches.
Which Adidas hockey shoes are best for speed?
If speed and agility are your main priorities, Adidas Adizero Lux hockey shoes are the key Adidas range to consider. They are designed for players who want lightweight movement, quick acceleration and fast changes of direction.
Adizero Lux is a strong option for forwards, attacking midfielders and players who rely on quick feet, pressing, leading runs and explosive movement.
Which Adidas hockey shoes are best for support?
If support and stability are your main priorities, Adidas Adipower hockey shoes are the key Adidas range to consider. They are designed for players who want a more structured feel during tackles, turns, defensive movement and repeated impacts.
Adipower is a strong option for defenders, midfielders and players who prefer a cushioned, supportive Adidas hockey shoe for regular training and matches.
Which Adidas hockey shoes are best for women?
Players looking for Adidas women’s hockey shoes should compare the Adidas Fabela hockey shoe range. The current Fabela range includes Fabela X 2, Fabela Zone 3 and Fabela Rise 2, giving players a choice of performance levels, support and price points.

Which Adidas hockey shoes are best for juniors?
Junior players should choose Adidas hockey shoes that are comfortable, supportive and easy to move in. The right junior hockey shoe should give young players enough grip for artificial pitches while still feeling light and manageable during school or club hockey.
Browse our Adidas junior hockey shoes collection for junior-friendly Adidas models such as Youngstar 2 and Youngstar Rise.
Are Adidas hockey shoes good for beginners?
Yes, Adidas hockey shoes can be a good choice for beginners, as long as you choose the right model. Newer players should usually prioritise comfort, grip and support rather than choosing the lightest or most technical shoe.
For beginners and developing players, Adidas Hockey Lux League, Adidas Youngstar and selected Fabela models can be strong options because they offer dependable grip and comfort for regular training and match play. More experienced players may prefer Adipower for support or Adizero Lux for speed.
Do Adidas hockey shoes fit true to size?
Adidas hockey shoes generally fit close to standard Adidas sizing, but the best size can depend on the model and your foot shape. Some players prefer a snug fit for quick movement, while others prefer a little more room for comfort or thicker hockey socks.
Your hockey shoes should feel secure through the heel and midfoot without being too tight. If the shoes are too loose, your foot may move inside the shoe when changing direction. If they are too tight, they may become uncomfortable during longer training sessions or matches.
Are Adidas hockey shoes waterproof?
Adidas hockey shoes are designed to handle wet artificial hockey pitches, but they should not be treated as fully waterproof boots. Many models use durable uppers and protective materials to help keep your feet more comfortable in damp pitch conditions.
After training or matches, allow your shoes to dry naturally and avoid leaving them in a closed kit bag for long periods. This helps protect the materials and keeps your shoes fresher through the season.
Can I wear Adidas hockey shoes for running or gym training?
Adidas hockey shoes are designed for hockey pitches, not road running or general gym training. Their grip pattern and structure are made for artificial turf, lateral movement and hockey-specific actions.
Using hockey shoes on roads, concrete or hard indoor floors may wear the outsole faster and may not give you the right cushioning or support for running. For best performance and durability, keep your Adidas hockey shoes for suitable hockey surfaces.
