Sondico Blaze Childrens Astro Turf Trainers - White - 13

These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (artificial turf) pitches. Their moulded rubber lugs provide the best grip on these surfaces.

While they can technically be worn, they are not ideal for natural grass. The moulded lugs are not designed for the softer, often uneven terrain of natural grass pitches, which require different stud patterns for optimal grip and safety.

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

The knitted tongue and ankle provide a snug, sock-like fit that enhances comfort, support, and stability around the foot and ankle, helping to reduce slippage inside the trainer.

Have your child try them on with the type of socks they would normally wear for playing. Ensure there's a snug fit around the ankle and that the laces can be tightened comfortably without being too restrictive. There should be a small amount of space at the toes for growth but not so much that the foot slides.

The synthetic leather upper offers a degree of water resistance, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water may lead to wet feet. > Info needed: Exact waterproofing level.

Ensure laces are tightened properly from toe to ankle. The knitted ankle should feel snug. Re-tie laces if they loosen during a game.

Check the rubber outsole for any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Clean the lugs thoroughly. If the lugs are excessively worn down, consider replacing the trainers.

Clean trainers immediately after each use, especially on muddy or dusty pitches. For odors, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight to absorb smells, then shake it out.
