FAQs
Can these trainers be used on natural grass pitches?
No, these Sondico Blaze trainers feature a specialized rubber outsole with moulded lugs specifically designed to optimize traction and performance on astro turf (artificial grass) surfaces. Using them on natural grass may lead to reduced grip and faster wear.
How do I clean my child's astro turf trainers?
Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth, optionally using a mild soap solution for stubborn marks. Use a small brush to remove dirt and debris from the outsole lugs. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the synthetic leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may result in water penetration.
What age group are these trainers suitable for?
These trainers are designed for children (kids) and are available in children's sizes. Always refer to the specific size guide to ensure the best fit for your child.
Do I need to 'break in' these trainers?
Yes, like most sports footwear, a short break-in period is recommended. Encourage your child to wear them for shorter periods during initial uses to allow the trainers to adapt to their foot shape and ensure optimal comfort during play.
How do I ensure I choose the correct size?
Measure your child's foot length from heel to the longest toe. Then, compare this measurement to the brand's size chart. It's often recommended to try them on with sports socks that will be worn during play.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel loose or unsupportive during play.
Re-tie the laces, ensuring they are pulled tight enough across the foot and ankle. Consider wearing thicker sports socks if feet are still moving excessively. Check if the size is appropriate for your child's foot.
Slipping on the astro turf surface.
Ensure the outsole lugs are clean and free from mud, dirt, or debris. Verify that the trainers are being used on an appropriate astro turf surface and not on wet natural grass or a smooth indoor court, for which they are not designed.
Discomfort or rubbing during extended play.
Ensure the trainers are the correct size; too small or too large can cause issues. Allow for a short 'break-in' period. Wear appropriate sports socks designed for athletic activities to prevent friction and wick away moisture.
Synthetic leather upper appears scuffed or dull.
Clean the upper regularly with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized synthetic leather cleaner or a mild soap solution, then wipe clean and air dry. Avoid abrasive brushes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing Up: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Begin lacing from the toe, pulling each section snugly but not too tightly. Finish with a double knot to prevent untying during play.
- Fit Check: The trainers should feel snug around the foot and ankle, with enough room for toes to wiggle slightly. The knitted ankle should hug the foot comfortably.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: These trainers are exclusively designed for astro turf (artificial grass). Using them on natural grass, hard courts, or indoor surfaces will compromise performance and may cause premature wear to both the trainers and the playing surface.
Care & Maintenance
- After Each Use: Remove any loose dirt, mud, or debris from the outsole lugs and upper using a soft brush or damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with plain water.
- Outsole: Pay special attention to cleaning the moulded lugs to maintain optimal traction. A small brush can help remove trapped synthetic grass fibers or dirt.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight). Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. If possible, stuff with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
