Choosing the right size and model
Like with any sports shoes, your hockey shoes need to fit your feet properly. First, make sure there are no pressure points. Next, ensure your foot does not slip around inside the shoe. This is especially important when playing on artificial turf. According to manufacturers, certain models are specially adapted to women. They are designed for a smaller stature and a smaller foot volume.
Choosing the right size and model(cont.)
How to know if your shoes fit properly Put on your hockey socks. Plant your foot firmly on the ground. While exerting pressure down on your foot, try to move your foot in all directions in the shoe. It should not be able to move.
Why wear specialised hockey shoes?
Field hockey shoes are designed with two specific features: reinforcements, especially at the front of the foot and the heel, to protect your feet from impacts from the ball and the stick, and a sole suited to field hockey playing surfaces - generally sandy or wet artificial turf - for the traction you need.
Special features of hockey shoes
Field hockey shoes are designed with features specific to the sport:
The outsole (the part of the sole in contact with the ground) is generally made of rubber and has spikes of various shapes and positions. It is harder than a trail shoe. It is adapted to synthetic, sandy, or wet pitches specific to field hockey. It ensures grip on the pitch, which is critical to field hockey.

It can also cover the front part of the shoe to protect the toes from impacts.
The midsole (the part of the sole just above the outsole) is generally made of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). It cushions against impacts from running on field hockey pitches, which are relatively hard.

It generally rises up the inside of the foot to provide stability during the directional changes and footwork involved in field hockey.
The lacing of the quarter, the inner and outer mid parts of the shoe's upper, which is generally made of PU and mesh, is essential for providing good foot support in field hockey.

You will often also find PU inserts that serve as reinforcements against impacts or simply as a design element (brand logo).
The stiffener, behind the shoe's upper, is generally made of flexible PU with inner reinforcement by a stiff PU plate and serves to stabilise the heel and protect the Achilles tendon from impacts.
