About the Kookaburra Apollo Hockey Shoe 8.5

Built by Kookaburra, the Australia hockey brand, the Kookaburra Apollo Hockey Shoe is aimed at players of every level. Kookaburra is known for dimple hockey balls and junior and senior sticks, with roots going back to 1890.

Underfoot it uses a turf-friendly sole that grips artificial pitches when you sprint, lunge and change direction.

Good hockey footwear locks the heel in place for cutting and protects the toes from stray sticks, so try them with your match socks.
