FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing on natural grass fields?
No, the Sondico Blaze Astro Turf Trainers are specifically designed with moulded rubber lugs for optimal performance and traction on artificial grass (astro turf) pitches. They are not recommended for natural grass.
How do I clean my Sondico Blaze Astro Turf Trainers?
Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth. Use a brush to clean the sole of any debris. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
What is the upper material made of?
The upper of the Sondico Blaze trainers is made from durable synthetic leather, which is known for its resilience and ease of maintenance.
Can my child use these trainers for other sports?
While primarily designed for football on astro turf, they can be suitable for other multi-directional sports played on similar artificial surfaces where grip and agility are important. However, for specialized sports, dedicated footwear is often better.
What size should I purchase?
These trainers are available in standard UK children's sizing. It's best to measure your child's foot and consult a size guide. If possible, try them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
How long will these trainers last?
The lifespan of the trainers depends on usage frequency, intensity of play, and adherence to care instructions. With proper care, they are designed to be durable for regular astro turf use by children.
Are they waterproof?
The synthetic leather upper offers some water resistance, helping to keep feet drier in light damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may lead to water ingress.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you've chosen the correct UK children's size. Adjust the lacing system for a snug yet comfortable fit. If consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a half size up or down if available, or ensuring socks are not too thick/thin.
Slipping on the astro turf pitch.
Check that the soles are clean and free from mud or debris that could reduce grip. Confirm you are indeed playing on an astro turf surface, as these trainers are not designed for natural grass or indoor courts.
Discomfort or rubbing during play.
Ensure laces are tied correctly – not too tight or too loose. Wear appropriate, well-fitting football socks. It's also possible the trainers need a short 'break-in' period to fully adapt to the foot.
Synthetic upper showing signs of wear quickly.
Follow the recommended care instructions, especially regarding cleaning and drying. Avoid scuffing the trainers unnecessarily on abrasive surfaces other than astro turf. While durable, synthetic leather will show wear over time with intensive use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Wear Appropriate Socks: Always wear clean, well-fitting football socks to prevent friction and enhance comfort.
- Loosen Laces: Before putting on, fully loosen the laces to allow your foot to slide in easily, especially with the knitted ankle collar.
- Insert Foot: Gently slide your foot into the trainer, ensuring the heel sits firmly in the heel cup.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom, progressively tighten the laces for a snug, secure fit. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause discomfort, or under-tightening, which can lead to instability. The knitted tongue and ankle will adapt to your foot's shape.
Compatibility
These trainers are *specifically designed for Astro Turf surfaces* (also known as 3G or 4G pitches). The moulded rubber lugs provide optimal grip and prevent damage to these artificial surfaces. Using them on natural grass might result in insufficient grip, and using them on indoor courts or hard concrete could lead to premature wear of the sole and potential discomfort.
Care
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth immediately after use to remove dirt and mud. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or old toothbrush to remove any trapped astro turf granules, dirt, or debris from the moulded lugs.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the trainers in water, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
