Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To ensure the best fit and performance, follow these steps when first using the trainers:
- Wear appropriate socks: Use sports socks that provide cushioning and prevent rubbing.
- Lace up properly: Ensure laces are firm but not overly tight. The knitted tongue and ankle should feel snug, not restrictive.
- Walk around: Allow your child to walk and jog in the trainers for a few minutes to ensure comfort before active play.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed specifically for astro turf surfaces. They are suitable for:
- Artificial grass pitches (3G, 4G, 5G)
- Sand-based artificial pitches
They are not recommended for:
- Natural grass fields (where longer studs are needed)
- Indoor courts (where non-marking soles and different grip patterns are required)
- Hard surfaces like concrete or tarmac (will cause excessive wear to the lugs)
Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Sondico Blaze trainers:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing with newspaper to maintain shape if damp.
- Material: The 'Leather' specified in attributes refers to synthetic leather, meaning it's durable but still benefits from gentle cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals.
