FAQs
What kind of playing surface are these trainers best for?
These trainers are specifically designed and optimized for astro turf (artificial grass) pitches, where their moulded lugs provide optimal traction.
How should I clean the Sondico Blaze trainers?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after each use. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for playing on natural grass fields?
While they can technically be worn, they are not ideal for natural grass. The moulded lugs are not designed to penetrate natural turf effectively, which could lead to reduced grip and stability.
What is synthetic leather and what are its benefits?
Synthetic leather is a man-made material designed to mimic the look and feel of natural leather. Its benefits include durability, ease of cleaning, and often better resistance to water than natural leather. It's also a more consistent material.
How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my child?
Measure your child's foot length and refer to the brand's size chart. It's best to try them on to ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) at the toe.
Can these trainers be used for other sports besides football?
While primarily designed for football on astro turf, they can be suitable for other athletic activities or general sports on similar artificial surfaces where good traction and foot support are required.
Troubleshooting
My child is slipping on the pitch.
Ensure the playing surface is indeed astro turf. If on astro turf, check the outsole for excessive dirt buildup on the lugs and clean thoroughly. Also, ensure the trainers are properly laced for a secure fit.
The trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Adjust the lacing carefully. Experiment with different lacing patterns to relieve pressure points or achieve a snugger fit. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate sports socks. If persistent, re-check the size against a foot measurement.
The synthetic upper looks dirty or scuffed.
Wipe the upper immediately after use with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a specialized synthetic leather cleaner or a mild soap solution can often help. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from setting in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the trainers are laced snugly. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up. Pull laces evenly to avoid pressure points. Double knot for security during active play.
- Sock Choice: Wear appropriate sports socks that offer cushioning and prevent blisters. Thicker socks can help fill out the trainer if slightly loose, while thinner socks can improve breathability.
Compatibility
- Recommended Surface: These trainers are specifically designed for astro turf (artificial grass) surfaces. The moulded lugs are optimized for this type of pitch.
- Not Recommended For: Using them on natural grass might result in inadequate grip, while hard indoor courts or tarmac surfaces can prematurely wear down the lugs and offer less cushioning.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy or dusty pitches, wipe the trainers clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the synthetic upper and outsole. For stubborn mud, use a soft brush.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with newspaper to maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic leather and rubber components. Mild soap and water are usually sufficient.
