FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing on natural grass?
No, these Sondico Blaze trainers are specifically engineered with a rubber outsole and moulded lugs for optimal performance and grip on Astro Turf (artificial grass) pitches. Using them on natural grass may not provide adequate grip and could lead to faster wear of the sole.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
We recommend measuring your child's foot length and referring to a brand-specific sizing chart. For sports footwear, it's generally advised to leave about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe to allow for growth and movement.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the synthetic leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe, potentially voiding any warranty. Please follow the care instructions provided in this guide for cleaning.
What kind of socks should be worn with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and performance, it's best to wear athletic socks designed for sports. These typically offer cushioning, moisture-wicking properties, and a snug fit, which can enhance the overall feel and support of the trainers.
My child complains of discomfort around the ankle. What should I do?
First, ensure the trainers are laced correctly, not too tight or too loose. The knitted ankle should feel snug but not restrictive. Check for proper sizing, as ill-fitting shoes can cause discomfort. Wearing appropriate sports socks can also help cushion the ankle area. If discomfort persists, consult a footwear specialist.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the synthetic leather upper offers a degree of water resistance against light splashes, these trainers are not fully waterproof. For optimal durability and comfort, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to very wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose during play
Adjust the lacing system. If still uncomfortable, ensure the correct size has been chosen. Consider the thickness of socks worn.
Loss of grip on Astro Turf
Check the rubber outsole for accumulated dirt, mud, or debris in the moulded lugs. Clean thoroughly with a brush and damp cloth. Ensure the playing surface is indeed Astro Turf and not another type of artificial or natural grass.
Unpleasant odor develops inside trainers
After each use, remove the trainers and allow them to air dry completely. If the insoles are removable, take them out. Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda sachets inside the trainers when not in use to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Do not machine wash.

Setup
Getting started with your Sondico Blaze Trainers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Lace Up: Loosen the laces, slide your child's foot into the trainer, ensuring the heel is seated comfortably against the back of the shoe.
- Adjust Fit: Tighten the laces from bottom to top, ensuring a snug fit across the instep without causing pressure points. The knitted ankle should feel supportive and comfortable around the ankle.
- Check Toe Room: There should be about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe for growth and comfort.
Compatibility
These trainers are specifically designed for Astro Turf (artificial grass) pitches. Using them on other surfaces such as natural grass, indoor courts, or hard concrete might compromise their performance, reduce grip, and accelerate wear on the outsole. Always ensure the playing surface is suitable for Astro Turf specific footwear.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your trainers:
- After Each Use: Wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grass stains. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean dirt from between the moulded lugs on the sole.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Odour Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles (if removable) to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or place a sachet of baking soda inside when not in use.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
- Do Not Machine Wash: Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers.
