The most common issues ball hockey players such as yourself are having right now is having the right footwear. Whether you're playing on Dek, Gym Floor, or Slab, you can't quite seem to be getting the edge you're looking for. Edge is not the only factor that's lacking, it's protection and durability. Within half a season, your shoes are torn up and those shots to the toes make your teeth grind.
The solution? Ball Hockey Shoes. That's right. There are shoes that are specifically designed for ball hockey. The MK5's, MK3's, and Mids are all designed to have a solid grip, with toe protection and durability. The MK5's and MK3's are also available in women's sizes. Each model contains similar features with slight differences.
MK5
The MK5 model comes in 3 different colours. Blue and Black for Men and Pink/Black for Women. The shoes are designed with a tire tread giving you more grip on smooth surfaces. They have been tested on all floor types, including the dek surface when there's morning due at 6am. The T-Guard is a solid rubber that protects your big toe area from sticks and shots. The shoe has also been designed with torque resistance, an anti-roll bar along the outer edge, and spy foam at some of the edges of the shoe to give more endurance.
MK3
The MK3 Model has the same tire tread as the MK5 along with ventilation in the centre of the sole. The toe protection is a little more soft but can still withstand a shot from a ball. The material used for the shoe is a little lighter giving the shoe less weight than the MK5 however this can reduce the endurance level. The MK3 will still last longer than your traditional running shoe.
MK5 Mid
The MK5 Mid is a mix of the MK5 and MK3. The tire tread remains the same as the other two models however the toe protection is at it's best. The highlight of this particular model is in the toe protection.
There's a solid rubber T-Guard for your big toe but has the same toe protection as the MK3 for all your toes. The shoe material is identical to the MK5 so it will last a long time. The mid cut design gives you more ankle support and protection.
