Sondico Blaze Childrens FG Football Boots - Cream

These Sondico Blaze boots are Firm Ground (FG) boots, specifically designed for use on natural grass pitches that are firm and relatively dry.

It is not recommended to use FG boots on artificial turf (AG) or 3G/4G pitches. The studs are designed differently, and using them on turf can cause damage to the boots, reduce performance, and potentially lead to injury.

The best way is to measure your child's foot and compare it to a size chart. It's often recommended to try them on with their regular football socks, ensuring a snug fit without being too tight, with a little room at the toe.

After each use, brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the surface. Do not submerge them in water or put them in a washing machine. Air dry them away from direct heat.

If they get wet, remove the insoles and stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry completely. For smells, use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the boots.

While the synthetic leather offers some water resistance, these boots are best suited for dry to slightly damp firm ground. For very wet or muddy conditions, boots with Soft Ground (SG) studs would be more appropriate.

Football boots often require a 'break-in' period. Encourage your child to wear them for short periods during practice before a full game. Ensure they are wearing appropriate football socks to help with comfort.

First, confirm the boots are being used on the correct surface – firm natural grass. If the pitch is unusually wet or soft, FG studs may not provide sufficient grip. Also, check if the studs are worn down, indicating it might be time for new boots.

Clean the boots immediately after use. Dried mud is much harder to remove. Use a stiff brush for heavy mud and then a damp cloth with mild soap for lighter dirt. Avoid letting mud dry on the boots.
