FAQs
Can these trainers be used on natural grass pitches?
While they might offer some grip, these trainers are specifically designed for optimal performance and traction on astro turf (artificial grass) pitches. For natural grass, firm ground (FG) or soft ground (SG) studs are typically recommended for better grip and safety.
How do I clean my Sondico Blaze Astro Turf Trainers?
After use, wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth. Use a soft brush to remove any mud or debris from the outsole lugs. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are these trainers suitable for indoor courts?
No, these trainers feature an astro turf outsole with moulded lugs, which is not designed for smooth indoor court surfaces. For indoor play, you would typically need indoor court shoes with non-marking soles that provide appropriate grip.
What is the benefit of the 'knitted tongue and ankle' feature?
The knitted tongue and ankle are designed to provide a comfortable, sock-like fit around the foot and ankle. This design enhances overall stability, reduces potential irritation or rubbing, and creates a more locked-in feel during active play.
How do the quilted effect and embossed details help with ball control?
The quilted effect and embossed details on the synthetic leather upper create a textured surface. This texture improves friction between the foot and the ball, allowing for better grip and more precise control when dribbling, passing, and shooting.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
It's important to try the trainers on with the type of socks your child will wear for play. Ensure there's a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that the foot feels snug but not uncomfortably tight when laced. Try them on later in the day when feet are slightly swollen for the most accurate fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The synthetic leather upper offers a degree of water resistance, meaning they can withstand light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in moisture penetrating the trainers.
What material are the trainers made from?
The upper of the Sondico Blaze Childrens Astro Turf Trainers is made from synthetic leather, providing durability and consistent ball touch.
Troubleshooting
My child complains about their feet feeling uncomfortable or rubbing inside the trainers.
First, ensure the laces are tied correctly – not too loose causing the foot to slide, nor too tight restricting circulation. Check the thickness of the socks worn during play; a different sock type might improve comfort. Allow for a short break-in period, as the synthetic leather may need a few wears to fully mold to the foot.
The trainers seem to be losing grip on the astro turf surface.
Inspect the outsole for accumulated dirt, mud, or debris stuck between the moulded lugs. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and damp cloth, as a dirty sole can significantly reduce traction. Also, verify that the playing surface is indeed astro turf, as these trainers are not designed for other surfaces.
The trainers feel too tight even after loosening the laces and trying them a few times.
While synthetic leather can break in slightly, persistent tightness might indicate an incorrect size. Ensure you have the correct UK children's shoe size. It's always best to try on trainers at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger to get the most accurate fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction and grip specifically for astro turf surfaces
- Comfortable and snug fit thanks to knitted tongue and ankle design
- Enhanced ball control due to quilted effect and embossed details on upper
- Durable synthetic leather construction withstands active play
- Lightweight design supports agility for young players
Cons
- Primarily designed for astro turf; not ideal for natural grass or indoor courts
- Synthetic material may offer less breathability compared to some natural leather options
- May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort
- Info needed: Potential for limited cushioning compared to running-specific footwear
Setup:
- Lacing: Before putting them on, loosen the laces sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.
- Fitting: Gently slide your foot into the trainer, ensuring the knitted tongue and ankle embrace your foot without creasing.
- Tightening: Systematically tighten the laces from bottom to top, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Double-knot for security during play.
Compatibility:
- These trainers are exclusively designed and optimized for use on astro turf (artificial grass) surfaces. Using them on natural grass or hard indoor courts may compromise performance, durability, and could potentially damage the playing surface or the trainers themselves.
Care:
- Cleaning After Use: After each session, wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean any mud or debris from the moulded lugs on the outsole.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or in direct sunlight), as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with newspaper to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can severely damage their construction and materials.
