Sondico Blaze Childrens Astro Turf Trainers - Red - 2

No, these Sondico Blaze trainers are specifically engineered with an outsole designed for optimal grip on Astro Turf (artificial grass) surfaces. They are not recommended for natural grass or indoor courts.

These trainers use standard UK children's footwear sizing. It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to a sizing chart. When trying them on, ensure there's about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the trainer, and that the fit is snug but comfortable, especially with sports socks on.

Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Like most new sports footwear, a short break-in period is recommended. Have your child wear them during light activities or shorter training sessions initially to allow the trainers to mold to their feet and ensure maximum comfort during extended play.

The knitted tongue and ankle design provides a snug, sock-like fit that enhances comfort and stability. It works with the lacing system to secure the foot, reducing slippage and offering better support around the ankle during dynamic movements.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers, leading to premature wear and potential discomfort. Always clean them by hand as described in the care section.

Ensure the trainers are properly laced and not too tight or loose. Verify correct sizing and consider wearing appropriate sports socks designed for reduced friction. Allow a short break-in period for the trainers to adapt to the foot.

Thoroughly clean the moulded lugs on the outsole to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction. Inspect the lugs for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for new trainers if the grip is consistently poor.

Synthetic leather can initially feel stiff. A few short sessions of light activity can help 'break in' the trainers. Ensure the lacing isn't overly tight, especially around the forefoot, to allow for natural foot flex.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the sole, or from parts of the upper. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area underneath, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.
