FAQs
What type of playing surface are these trainers designed for?
These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf pitches, providing optimal traction and performance on artificial grass. They are not recommended for natural grass, indoor courts, or concrete.
How should I clean my Sondico Blaze trainers?
Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For the outsole, use a brush to clear any mud or debris from the `moulded lugs`. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The synthetic leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not designed to be fully waterproof. They are built for performance on astro turf rather than for severe wet conditions.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from durable `synthetic leather`, offering a good balance of durability, feel, and ease of maintenance.
How can I ensure the best fit for my child?
Ensure your child tries on the trainers with the type of socks they typically wear for sports. The `knitted tongue and ankle` should feel snug but not restrictive, and the laces should allow for a customizable, secure fit without causing pressure points. Refer to the size guide if available.
Do these trainers offer ankle support?
The `knitted ankle` design provides a snug, supportive fit around the ankle, contributing to a secure feel and some degree of stability during dynamic movements on the pitch.
Can these trainers be used for other sports besides football?
While primarily designed for football on astro turf, they can be suitable for other multi-directional sports played on similar artificial surfaces where grip and agility are important, such as rugby training or general field sports for children. However, for specialized sports, dedicated footwear is always recommended.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight during play.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the knitted ankle is properly positioned and not causing any bunching or excessive pressure points. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed.
Reduced grip on the astro turf.
Inspect the rubber outsole for dirt, mud, or synthetic grass debris. Clean the `moulded lugs` thoroughly with a brush and water. If the lugs appear worn down or smooth, the trainers may be nearing the end of their effective lifespan and replacement might be necessary.
Foot discomfort or rubbing after playing.
Ensure the trainers are the correct size for your child – feet can grow quickly. Wear appropriate, well-fitting sports socks to minimize friction. If discomfort persists, consider adding a thin insole for extra cushioning or support. Ensure laces are not tied excessively tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unlacing: Loosen the laces completely before attempting to put the trainers on.
- Donning: Gently slide your foot into the trainer, ensuring the knitted ankle and tongue are correctly positioned and not folded.
- Lacing: Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling each section snugly but not too tightly. The `knitted tongue and ankle` should feel secure but allow for comfortable movement.
- Final Adjustment: Tie the laces securely to prevent them from coming undone during play. Ensure the fit feels firm across the midfoot and around the ankle without pinching.
Compatibility
These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (artificial grass) playing surfaces. They are not recommended as the primary footwear for natural grass, indoor courts, or hard outdoor surfaces, as their specialized sole pattern may not offer optimal performance or durability on those grounds.
Care
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris from the `moulded lugs` on the rubber outsole. This ensures optimal traction for future use.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight). This prevents material degradation and helps maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out if possible. Consider using shoe deodorizers or stuffing with newspaper to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use.
