FAQs
What type of playing surface are these trainers designed for?
These Sondico Blaze Children's Astro Turf Trainers are specifically engineered for use on Astro Turf (artificial grass) pitches.
How do I clean my synthetic leather trainers?
Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution. Clean the outsole with a brush. Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The synthetic leather upper offers some resistance to moisture, but the trainers are not fully waterproof. For play in wet conditions, consider additional water-resistant treatments if desired (Info needed: consult product care instructions for suitable treatments).
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of these trainers is made from durable synthetic leather, featuring a quilted effect and embossed details for enhanced ball control.
Do I need to 'break in' these trainers?
While the knitted ankle and tongue provide an adaptive fit, it's generally a good idea to wear them for a few short sessions before intense play to allow the materials to fully conform to your child's foot shape.
Can these be used on natural grass pitches?
No, these trainers are not recommended for natural grass. The moulded lugs are optimized for the specific characteristics of Astro Turf and will not provide adequate grip or durability on natural grass surfaces.
What age group are these trainers for?
These trainers are designed for children, offering a range of sizes to fit young players.
Troubleshooting
Poor grip or slipping on Astro Turf
Ensure the rubber outsole and moulded lugs are clean and free of mud or debris. A buildup of dirt can reduce traction. Regularly brush the sole after use.
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing
Check the lacing: it might be too tight or too loose. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Allow for a break-in period, as the materials need time to conform to the foot. Ensure appropriate socks are worn.
Foul odor developing inside trainers
Remove any removable insoles and allow the trainers and insoles to air out completely after each use. Consider using an antimicrobial foot spray or cedar shoe inserts to help absorb moisture and combat odor-causing bacteria.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the trainers are laced snugly but not too tightly. The knitted ankle and tongue are designed to conform to the foot, so adjust laces to achieve a comfortable, locked-down feel without pinching.
- First Use: Like most footwear, these trainers may benefit from a short break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods during non-intensive activities before full match play.
Compatibility
These trainers are specifically designed for Astro Turf (artificial grass) surfaces. The moulded lugs are optimized for these pitch types, providing the necessary traction and stability. While they can be used on other artificial surfaces, they are not recommended for natural grass or indoor courts, as their performance characteristics (grip, stud wear) are not suited for those environments.
Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Sondico Blaze trainers:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Outsole: Use a brush (a stiff-bristled brush works well) to clean dirt and debris from the moulded lugs of the rubber outsole. This helps maintain optimal traction.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the synthetic materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and allow them to air out. You can also use foot powder or shoe deodorizers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
