Our huge range of athletic shoes covers specialised footwear for a wide array of sports, helping you strive for peak performance no matter where your passion lies. Whether you need the best touch football shoes, hockey & turf sports shoes, gym & weightlifting shoes, netball shoes, orienteering shoes, water sport shoes or martial arts & wrestling shoes, Wildfire Sports & Trek is with you every step of the way.

Touch Football, Hockey & Turf Sports Shoes

Agility, speed, precision and traction — turf sports demand it all.

The men’s turf shoes, women’s turf shoes and kids' turf shoes in our collection feature lightweight, reinforced uppers and powerful grip for multidirectional movement and lateral control. Designed for fast-paced play on natural grass, hybrid turf or artificial turf, many of the best turf shoes are adaptable to meet the demands of both field hockey and touch football, being purpose-built for these environments.

With their sleek, low-to-ground profiles, field hockey shoes and touch football shoes for men, women and kids help you stay light on your feet while providing support for quick direction changes. Many ASICS turf shoes for touch football and hockey integrate the performance features of the top ASICS running shoes, with FlyteFoam technology for lightweight and responsive cushioning, or shock-absorbing Gel to protect the high-impact zone of the heel. Raised heels in ASICS touch football boots help shift the stress away from your lower body, helping reduce injury and fatigue in your muscles.

Gym & Weightlifting Shoes

From minimalist barefoot trainers from Vivobarefoot to plush cross-training shoes from Inov-8, Altra and On – our gym shoe range at Wildfire Sports & Trek helps support your fitness goals. The best training shoes can keep you on track – helping improve your comfort and performance during CrossFit, HIIT sessions and plyometric workouts. Whether you prefer midfoot straps for enhanced stability, quick-pull lacing systems or traditional lacing for a more personalised fit, we have the gear to get you gym-ready and conquer explosive movements.

You may be wondering if you can wear your running shoes at the gym. Traditional running shoes can compromise your stability during exercises like weighted squats and other forms of weightlifting due to the moderate to max cushioning levels. If you enjoy strength training and powerlifting, you need weightlifting shoes that set you up with a solid foundation with firmer cushioning and a low heel drop (typically 0 – 2mm) to support proper form.  

Zero drop fitness shoes like Xero Shoes for gym, Vivobarefoot and Vibram training shoes are worthy choices when your goal is muscle gains or mastering your balance in slacklining. Opt for flat soles or only slightly elevated heels for optimal ground contact during powerful lifts.

Netball Shoes & Volleyball Shoes

Designed specifically for the court, netball shoes and volleyball shoes are built to support sudden stops, pivots and jumps. Netball shoes make a difference - with reinforced lateral support and shock-absorbing cushioning, they help reduce the risk of injuries while helping enhance your speed and responsiveness. Whether you're a shooter, midcourter or netball all-rounder, women’s netball shoes and men’s netball shoes keep you grounded and nimble during every high-impact game.

Mizuno netball shoes are a popular option for the court, whether you’re seeking beginner netball shoes or netball shoes for professional play. Teaming lightweight designs with reliable stability and breathable uppers with high traction rubber, the best netball shoes can help you improve your skills to pass and shoot with accuracy or create space with fast and agile footwork. Bouncy midsoles like variations on Mizuno ENERZY help you spring down the court and gain momentum, working in harmony with secure heel counters and non-marking, abrasion-resistant rubber soles.  

Gear up with a trusted companion for the court that offers reliable durability, stability and agility. Whether you’re training or competing, investing in high-quality netball shoes, volleyball shoes and court shoes from Wildfire Sports & Trek can help you to take your sport further.

Orienteering Shoes

Navigate wild and challenging terrain with orienteering shoes from Wildfire Sports & Trek. Our huge range includes women’s trail running shoes and men’s trail running shoes that can naturally transition into the sport of orienteering or orienteering racing with their rugged uppers and aggressive outsoles featuring prominent, grippy lugs. Also consider waterproof trail running shoes for orienteering, such as those with GORE-TEX uppers, to help keep your feet dry and your mind confident in wet weather.  

Adventure-ready footwear like the iconic Salomon Speedcross or lightweight Inov-8 X-Talon are popular trail running shoes for orienteering. Many orienteers gravitate to Altra trail shoes like the Altra Lone Peak with their zero drop design for a close to ground feel and wide toe box, helping you feel stable, comfortable and connected.

Whether you prefer minimalist styles or maximum cushioning, you can find your ideal fit by shopping the best brands of trail shoes for orienteering including Salomon, Inov-8, Altra and Dynafit under one roof at Wildfire Sports & Trek. The best orienteering shoes for you will provide a personalised fit and precise control on technical terrain, such as rocky or muddy landscapes.  

Water Sport Shoes

Water sports shoes are essential for engaging in aquatic activities like kayaking, canoeing, rowing, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP), tubing, fishing or river trekking offering protection, traction and quick-drying comfort.

Top amphibious shoes and swimrun shoes for men and women feature fast and effective drainage to avoid waterlogging, and grippy and flexible non-slip soles for wet and slick surfaces. With a lightweight feel and locked-in fit that stays secure in and out of the water, amphibious footwear allows you to transition smoothly between a variety of environments – making them ideal for everything from crossing rivers on your next trail walk, to exploring on your next beach or reef adventure.

Aqua shoes keep your feet shielded from rocky rivers, sharp coral and other natural elements you will encounter in and around aquatic locations, helping prevent cuts and abrasions. Compared to casual sandals and thongs, they offer greater versatility and protection for trail-to-sea environments.

Barefoot shoe brands like Vibram, Vivobarefoot and Xero Shoes are known for minimalist water shoes that offer superb ground feel and flexibility. Hoka, while typically associated with max cushioned Hoka running shoes, also offers Hoka water sports shoes that prioritise comfort and stability. Keen and Merrell are also an ideal option for their rugged amphibious shoes. Each brand brings a unique approach to men’s water shoes and women’s water shoes. The top amphibious shoes will balance breathability, durability and traction to keep your feet safe and comfortable in and out of the water.

Whether you’re seeking water sport sandals or aqua shoes with quick lacing systems, our versatile range of beach and reef shoes or other amphibious footwear at Wildfire Sports & Trek has you covered. When it comes to triathlon shoes, it’s important to note that triathletes generally don’t wear shoes in the water during the swim leg. Instead, the focus is on which triathlon shoes are best for fast transitions as well as cushioned comfort and performance during the bike and run disciplines, with the Asics Noosa Tri among those topping the podium as the flagship ASICS triathlon shoe for men, women and kids.  

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How Do You Keep Sports Shoes Fresh?

To keep your sports shoes smelling fresh, remove the insoles after use to allow them to air dry fully, and remember to store your sports shoes in a well-ventilated area, not in gym duffel bags. Your insoles can also be gently washed by hand, or replaced in cases of stubborn odours. Wearing moisture-wicking sports socks will help reduce sweat build-up in your athletic shoes and running shoes, helping reduce smells from odour-causing bacteria. As wool socks are naturally antibacterial, wearing them during sports or trail adventures can be particularly effective in helping keep your shoes fresh. 

When you need to be more proactive about eliminating odours, consider sprinkling bicarbonate of soda in your shoes which is effective in absorbing and neutralising odours, and leaving overnight. Odour eliminators, deodoriser sprays and shoe deodorisers from brands like Boot Bananas offer further convenience to get the bad smell out of shoes. 

How Do I Make My Sports Shoes Last Longer?

To keep your sports shoes and trail running shoes looking like-new for longer, they need special care when dealing with wet or muddy terrain. Browse our waterproof and fabric care range to help turn any shoes into waterproof shoes with shoe care kits and waterproofing sprays from top brands like Grangers and Gear Aid. If your sports shoes are caked with mud and dirt, you can create a cleaning solution at home with warm water and mild dishwashing liquid, and scrub gently with a toothbrush to lift stains. Using a soft and clean cloth, you can absorb or dab off excess moisture. 

Never put your sports shoes in the washing machine or dryer, as this can melt or tear the delicate adhesives bonding the upper, midsole and outsole. Instead, clean as per our recommendations above and allow to air dry, stuffed with paper towel to help pull water from the fabric if necessary. Most standard shoe laces can be washed in a washing machine if placed in a mesh laundry bag first to prevent them from tangling, however please follow the recommendations of the manufacturer. 

Wearing sports shoes for their intended purpose - that is netball shoes for netball, training shoes for gym and so on - can help increase their longevity. If you’re a multi-sport athlete, this means you may require multiple shoes in your rotation, not only to extend the lifespan of your footwear, but to support your performance and reduce your injury risk as each shoe is tailored for specific types of movement and terrain. 

How Do You Know When To Replace Sports Shoes? 

Whether they’re running shoes, gym shoes or netball shoes, there are some key signs to watch out for to determine the ‘health’ of your athletic footwear. Firstly, you may feel that the cushioning or support of the shoe is compromised. The midsole technologies don’t spring back like they used to, or aren’t as comfortable as they were when new. If you turn the shoe upside-down and examine the outsole, you may notice uneven wear underfoot of the rubber, or smooth areas where the tread once offered reliable traction. 

A visual inspection of the upper may show areas where the mesh, knit or leather fabric has been punctured, torn or stretched out, and the upper may even be separating from the sole. In cases like this, it’s time to thank your athletic shoes for their time and consider buying replacement shoes to help reduce your risk of injury and enhance your comfort to support your active lifestyle.
