FAQs
What kind of surfaces are these trainers suitable for?
These Sondico Blaze trainers are specifically designed for astro turf pitches, which include artificial grass surfaces like 3G or 4G pitches. Their outsole is optimized for grip on these surfaces.
How do I find the correct size for my child?
The size listed is UK Children's Size 11. It's best to measure your child's foot and compare it to a brand-specific sizing chart if available. A snug but comfortable fit is ideal for football trainers.
Can these trainers be used on natural grass?
While they might provide some grip, these trainers are not designed for natural grass pitches. Their moulded lugs are not as deep as traditional firm-ground studs, which could result in reduced traction and increased wear on natural grass.
How should I clean these trainers?
Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after use. For the outsole, use a stiff brush to remove dirt from the moulded lugs. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The synthetic leather upper offers a degree of water resistance, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to water seeping in.
What is the benefit of the knitted tongue and ankle?
The knitted tongue and ankle are designed to provide a snug, sock-like fit around the foot and ankle, offering enhanced comfort, support, and stability during quick movements on the pitch.
Troubleshooting
My child's foot feels loose inside the trainer.
Ensure the laces are tightened properly from bottom to top, utilizing the snug fit provided by the knitted tongue and ankle. Try re-tying them for a more secure feel.
Traction seems poor on the pitch.
Confirm that the playing surface is astro turf, as these trainers are specifically designed for that. Check the outsole for excessive dirt or mud build-up and clean the moulded lugs thoroughly.
The trainers feel stiff and uncomfortable initially.
Synthetic leather can require a short break-in period. Encourage your child to wear them for short durations around the house or during light activities before intense play to allow them to mold to the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Begin by loosening them significantly.
- Foot Insertion: Guide your child's foot into the trainer, ensuring the knitted tongue and ankle sit comfortably around their foot and ankle.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom, pull the laces firmly but not too tightly, working your way up. Ensure a snug fit that doesn't restrict circulation.
- Knot: Tie the laces securely in a double knot to prevent them from coming undone during play.
Compatibility
These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (artificial grass) surfaces. The moulded lugs on the rubber outsole are optimized for grip on these types of pitches. Using them on other surfaces like natural grass or indoor courts may reduce their performance and accelerate wear.
Care
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove mud and dirt from between the moulded lugs on the outsole. This maintains optimal traction.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the synthetic leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or crumpled newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
