FAQs
What type of playing surface are these trainers designed for?
These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (artificial grass) surfaces. The moulded lugs provide optimal traction on these pitches.
Can my child wear these trainers on natural grass or indoors?
While they might offer some grip, these trainers are not optimized for natural grass or indoor courts. Using them on unsuitable surfaces can reduce performance, damage the trainers, and potentially increase the risk of slips or injuries.
How do I clean the synthetic leather upper?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth after each use. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The synthetic leather upper offers some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to withstand typical pitch conditions but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in moisture penetration.
How do I ensure I get the correct size for my child?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to a sizing guide if available. Ideally, have your child try them on with their typical sports socks to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, leaving a small space (about a thumb's width) at the toe.
What are the benefits of the knitted ankle design?
The knitted ankle provides a snug, sock-like fit that enhances comfort and support around the ankle area. This helps to stabilize the foot during quick movements and reduces rubbing.
Troubleshooting
Poor grip on astro turf
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. If the lugs appear significantly worn down, it may be time to consider new trainers.
Trainers feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing/blisters
Verify you have the correct size. Ensure laces are tied snugly but not too tight. Wear appropriate sports socks. Allow for a break-in period if new.
Unpleasant odor from trainers
After each use, remove insoles (if possible) and allow trainers to air dry completely. Use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the trainers overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize smells. Ensure they are fully dry before storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Sondico Blaze Trainers is straightforward:
- Lace Up Properly: Loosen the laces sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.
- Slide Foot In: Ensure your heel is seated firmly at the back of the trainer.
- Adjust Laces: Start tightening the laces from the bottom (near the toes) upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit across the top of your foot. The knitted ankle should feel secure, but not restrictive.
- Double Knot: Tie your laces securely to prevent them from coming undone during play.
- Break-in Period: Like all new footwear, these trainers may benefit from a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.
Compatibility
These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (artificial grass) surfaces. The moulded lugs are optimized for traction on these types of pitches. Using them on other surfaces such as natural grass, indoor courts, or concrete can:
- Reduce performance and grip.
- Accelerate wear and tear on the sole.
- Potentially increase the risk of injury due to improper traction.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush (an old toothbrush works well) to remove any debris or dirt lodged between the moulded lugs on the outsole.
- Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out if possible. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
