FAQs

What surfaces are these trainers suitable for?

These trainers are specifically designed for Astro Turf (artificial grass) pitches. They are not recommended for natural grass, indoor courts, or hard outdoor surfaces.

How do I clean the Sondico Blaze trainers?

Wipe the `synthetic leather upper` with a damp cloth after each use. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Clean debris from the `rubber outsole` lugs. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The `synthetic leather upper` offers some water resistance against light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wet feet.

What is the best way to ensure a good fit for my child?

Have your child try on the trainers with the type of socks they typically wear for sports. Ensure there is a small gap (about a thumb's width) between their longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that the fit around the `knitted ankle` and `midfoot` is snug but not uncomfortably tight.

Can these trainers be used for other sports besides football?

While primarily designed for football on Astro Turf, their grip and support could be suitable for general training or other sports played on similar artificial surfaces. However, for specialized sports, dedicated footwear is often more appropriate.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper part of the Sondico Blaze trainers is made from `synthetic leather`, offering durability and enhanced ball control.

Troubleshooting

Poor grip or slipping on Astro Turf

Ensure the `moulded lugs` on the outsole are clean and free from debris. Regularly brush out any embedded rubber crumb or dirt. Confirm the trainers are being used on appropriate Astro Turf surfaces, as performance will be reduced on natural grass or hard courts. Check for excessive wear on the lugs, which may indicate it's time for replacement.

Discomfort or rubbing during play

Ensure the `laces` are tied snugly but not too tightly, allowing for proper foot circulation. Wear appropriate sports socks that offer cushioning and wick moisture. Allow for a short 'break-in' period for the trainers to adapt to the child's foot. If discomfort persists, check the sizing.

Upper material appears worn or damaged quickly

Confirm the trainers are used exclusively on Astro Turf, as abrasive surfaces like concrete can cause premature wear to the `synthetic leather upper`. Clean the trainers regularly after use to remove abrasive particles. Avoid dragging feet or excessive scuffing during play.

Trainers develop an unpleasant odour

Ensure trainers are thoroughly air-dried after each use; do not store them wet. Consider using shoe deodorizers, baking soda, or cedar inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odours. Regularly clean the inside with a damp cloth and mild antibacterial spray if needed.

Setup1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Slip your child's foot into the trainer, pulling the `knitted ankle` up for a snug fit around the ankle.2. Adjusting: Tighten the `laces` from the bottom up, ensuring an even, firm fit across the foot without being overly constrictive. Tie the laces securely to prevent them from coming undone during play.## CompatibilityThese trainers are specifically designed for Astro Turf (artificial grass) surfaces. They are optimized for modern 3G/4G pitches. Using them on natural grass, hard courts, or concrete can significantly reduce their lifespan and compromise performance and grip.## Care1. Cleaning the Upper: After each use, wipe down the `synthetic leather upper` with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.2. Cleaning the Outsole: Remove any grass, rubber crumb, or dirt from the `moulded lugs` on the `rubber outsole` using a brush. This helps maintain optimal traction.3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.4. Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with newspaper can help maintain their shape.5. Odour Control: If odours develop, consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the trainers overnight to absorb moisture and smells.
