FAQs

What type of playing surface are these trainers designed for?

These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (artificial grass) pitches. The rubber outsole with moulded lugs provides optimal grip and traction on these synthetic surfaces.

How do I clean my Sondico Blaze Astro Turf Trainers?

Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a brush to clean dirt from the outsole lugs. Air dry naturally; do not use direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these trainers waterproof?

While the synthetic leather upper offers some resistance to moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. It's best to dry them thoroughly after playing in wet conditions.

What is 'synthetic leather'?

Synthetic leather is a man-made material designed to mimic the look and feel of real leather. It offers durability and is often easier to clean and maintain, providing a consistent feel for ball control.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

It is best to measure your child's foot and consult a size guide. Ensure there is a small amount of space (approx. a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe to allow for growth and comfort.

Can these trainers be used for other sports besides football?

While primarily designed for football on astro turf, they can be used for other activities on similar surfaces where good traction and foot support are beneficial. However, for sports with different requirements (e.g., basketball, running), specialized footwear is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Poor grip on the astro turf pitch.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris, as this can impede traction. Regularly clean the moulded lugs. If the trainers are old and the lugs are worn down, consider replacement.

Discomfort or rubbing around the ankle/foot.

Check the lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose. Make sure the child is wearing appropriate sports socks. If new, allow for a short break-in period; the knitted elements will adapt to the foot over time.

Trainers develop an unpleasant odor.

After each use, air out the trainers by removing them from a bag and allowing them to dry thoroughly. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use to absorb odors. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.

Synthetic leather upper appears dirty or stained.

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For stubborn stains, a specialized synthetic leather cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Optimized traction and grip on artificial turf surfaces
  • Enhanced ball control and touch due to quilted and embossed details
  • Snug and comfortable fit provided by knitted tongue and ankle
  • Durable synthetic leather upper for lasting wear
  • Specifically designed for the needs and fit of children's feet

Cons

  • Primarily designed for astro turf, less ideal for natural grass or indoor courts
  • Synthetic leather may offer less breathability compared to other materials
  • Specific sizing (UK 8 for this variant) requires careful measurement for an accurate fit
  • May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the trainers are laced securely but not overly tight. The knitted tongue and ankle are designed for a snug fit, so adjust laces to complement this without causing pressure points.
  2. Socks: Wear appropriate sports socks that provide cushioning and prevent rubbing to enhance comfort and fit.

Compatibility:

  • Surfaces: These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (artificial grass) pitches. The moulded lugs on the outsole provide optimal grip on these surfaces.
  • Not Recommended For: While they might offer some grip, they are generally not recommended for natural grass (where studs are better) or indoor sports courts (where flat soles are preferred), as performance and safety may be compromised.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Outsole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to clean dirt and mud from the moulded lugs on the rubber outsole to maintain optimal traction.
  3. Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
