The new GX8500 shoe has been designed and developed for quick, agile players. It has a low profile combined with a stable platform for better ball striking.
Features:
Upper: G-WP Microfibre - water repellent upper material features an abrasion and tear resistant synthetic material which increases upper durability.
Internal Anti-fatigue Torsion System - Lightweight internal system which mirrors the functions of the foot. This results in the foot working as a flexible structure for shock absorption through the heel strike and mid-stance, into a strong, firm lever to provide forward propulsion.
California Slip Lasting - for stability and comfort. Upper is stitched around a canvas or EVA board and directly attached to the mid-sole.
Outsole - GTECH II Pro Sole is full rubber with multi-directional cleated grip pattern. Suitable for sand and water based pitches.
Revolutionary outsole technology reduces weight by 42 percent from previous shoes. Combined with the flexfree technology designed for explosive movement and key side wraps for a stable hitting platform it provides the next generation of hockey shoe.
Removable sockliner - Haipoli Pro
Can be removed to accommodate a medical orthotic.
Unlike traditional insoles, the compression set of Haipoli insoles is less than 5 percent over time so the cushioning and fit never change inside the shoe, providing maximum comfort every time you put your shoes on.
Heel - Superior Heel Fit - External TPU heel counter provides atbility and a secure fit and reduces lateral movement in the heel area. Combined with ultra-soft memory foam for a unique individual fit.
Tongue - XFit tongue - memory foam tongue which responds to heat to mould to the players foot shape.
Midsole EVA:
GPRO PU80 - Utilising 80 degree GPRO PU midsole material in the lower part of the sole provides a more stable platform feel.
GPRO EVA 50 Lite - replaces traditional foam midsole materials with softer, structured elements which react to impact and then return back to launch into your next step. This softer layer feels great and gives explosive energy into every step.
Dual Density Pro System - Full length dual density midsole system provides the perfect blend of cushioning to protect the joints and stability to give and explosive platform required for field hockey.
Additional feature - IPS - Impact Protection System - Full length strip of EVA works in conjunction with GPRO midsole materials to provide a further layer of impact protection during foot strike.
Toe guard - Gtuff Plus - toe protection welded into upper.
