FAQs
What type of surface are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are specifically designed and optimized for use on Astro Turf (artificial grass) pitches, where their moulded lugs provide the best traction.
How do I clean my Sondico Blaze Astro Turf Trainers?
Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after each use. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The synthetic leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water to maintain their condition and performance.
Can my child use these on natural grass pitches?
While technically possible, these trainers are not designed for natural grass. The outsole's lug pattern will not provide optimal grip on natural grass, potentially leading to reduced performance and increased risk of slipping.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Ensure your child tries them on with the type of socks they typically wear for sports. The fit should be snug but comfortable, with enough room for toes to wiggle slightly. The knitted ankle should feel supportive without being restrictive.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from durable synthetic leather, which features a quilted effect and embossed details to enhance ball control.
Will these trainers stretch over time?
Synthetic leather generally retains its shape well. While they will 'break-in' and adapt slightly to your child's foot for increased comfort, significant stretching is unlikely compared to natural leather.
Troubleshooting
Poor grip or slipping during play on Astro Turf
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. Check for excessive wear on the moulded lugs. Make sure laces are securely tied to prevent foot slippage within the shoe.
Discomfort or rubbing on the foot/ankle
Verify the correct size; trainers should be snug but not tight. Allow for a short break-in period for the materials to conform to the foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks that provide cushioning and reduce friction.
Trainers feel too stiff or restrictive
Adjust the lacing to find a comfortable tension. The synthetic leather upper and knitted ankle may require a few play sessions to soften and adapt to the foot's shape. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the trainers are laced properly from bottom to top. Tighten laces evenly for a snug, comfortable fit, but not so tight that they restrict circulation. Double-knotting can help prevent laces from coming undone during play.
- Socks: Wear appropriate sports socks designed for football or active play to enhance comfort and prevent rubbing.
Compatibility
These trainers are specifically designed for Astro Turf (artificial grass) surfaces. While they might be used sparingly on other artificial surfaces like 3G or 4G pitches, their lug pattern is optimized for the shorter, more abrasive fibres of traditional Astro Turf. They are not recommended for natural grass pitches, as the outsole may not provide adequate grip and could wear down prematurely.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on dirty pitches, wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on radiators, in direct sunlight, or use a hairdryer, as extreme heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Deodorizing: To combat odors, you can use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in the trainers overnight.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp bags or environments to prevent mold or mildew.
