Football/Soccer Shin Guards can be worn for hockey but you can get high density foam shin guards that are better suited to hockey.

Soccer/Football Shin Guards - These tend to be plastic and have a thin foam padding to protect the shins from the plastic but are not recommended due to probable brakeage of the shin guards from the impact of the hockey ball but do not always break it all depends on the speed of the ball making contact with the guard.

High Density Foam Guards - These are by far the best due to the great protection they can give and the durability of the guards less likely to break under stress of the impact of the ball...

Companies are continuously designing better and better guards and a new variation of the two mentioned above can be available, a high density foam and plastic combined shin guard especially for hockey players is better all-round

Not exactly. A standard hockey field outline is exactly 91.40m x 55.00m while a soccer pitch outline can vary in width between 45m - 90m, and in length from 90m - 120m (as long as the touch line is longer than the goal line). There is a possibility that a soccer field may have the exact dimensions of a hockey field in outline only. There are also the differences of a circle (scoring area) against two rectangles (penalty box), and the absence of the 23m lines in soccer or the centre circle in hockey. There are additional marks required on a hockey field that a soccer pitch does not contain.

A Field Hockey ground should be/is exactly 91.4 metres by 55 metres. A football field can range between 90 and 120 metres long, and 45 to 90 metres wide (and also longer than it is wide, but this is an unrelated point).

Thus, for a smaller football field, it could be exactly the samesize as a field hockey ground, but it is unlikely when comparing the majority of fields.

No, Lacrosse balls are smaller than field hockey balls. In addition, lacrosse balls are made with a hard, foam like material; while field hockey balls are made with hard plastic.

yes, you can. its probably better to wear them then any other cleets. soccer cleets are made for running constantly, which suits field hockey well.
