Why Choose Kookaburra Hockey Shoes?
When it comes to field hockey, few brands carry the prestige and heritage of Kookaburra. Their footwear line is designed with a clear focus on the everyday player: combining robust durability, essential impact protection, and excellent value for money.
If you are debating an upgrade from standard trainers, here is why a pair of Kookaburra hockey shoes is a brilliant investment:
1. Reliable Astro Turf Grip
Slipping on the pitch is not just frustrating; it’s dangerous. Kookaburra equips their shoes with high-traction, multi-studded rubber outsoles. This tread pattern is specifically designed to perform on both sand-dressed and water-based artificial surfaces, giving you the grip needed to change direction sharply and push off with power.
2. Built to Last
Hockey is tough on shoes, but Kookaburra designs theirs to go the distance. With durable upper materials and reinforced stitching in high-wear areas, these shoes are highly resistant to the abrasive nature of astro turf.
3. The 2025/26 Collection
We stock options for every type of player:
- Kookaburra Orbit: An incredibly popular, lightweight shoe available in vibrant colours. It’s a fantastic choice for juniors and club players wanting agility without feeling weighed down.
- Kookaburra Vapor & Surge: These models offer enhanced structural support and thicker, more responsive cushioning. Ideal for senior players or those who put heavier physical demands on their footwear during intense matches.
4. Vital Foot Protection
Unlike soft running shoes, Kookaburra integrates rigid toe bumpers and reinforced sidewalls into their designs. If a heavy hockey ball strikes your foot, or you get caught in a messy tackle, these reinforced zones disperse the impact to prevent painful bone bruising.
Caring For Your New Shoes
To get the most out of your Kookaburra footwear, we recommend knocking off loose mud after training and letting them air-dry away from direct radiators. If you want to keep your kit bag smelling fresh, throw a pair of our odour-eliminating fresheners into your shoes after every match!
