Extended Product Information

The Sondico Blaze Childrens FG Football Boots are engineered to support young athletes on natural, firm ground pitches. The moulded studs ensure reliable grip, allowing for quick changes in direction, acceleration, and stable footing during tackles. The cushioned insole and knitted tongue work together to keep feet comfortable throughout the game, minimizing distractions caused by discomfort. The soft synthetic leather upper with its quilted forefoot effect is crucial for developing ball skills; it provides a good touch, helping children control the ball more effectively, whether dribbling, passing, or shooting. These boots are best utilized on dry to slightly damp natural grass fields, where their stud configuration can provide maximum benefit. For example, during a junior league match on a well-maintained pitch, a young player will find the traction responsive for making agile movements and the upper supportive for accurate ball striking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup 1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the boots from their packaging. 2. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and evenly. 3. Initial Fit: Have your child try on the boots with the socks they would typically wear for football. Check for a snug fit without being too tight, ensuring toes are not pressed against the end. 4. Break-In: Wear the boots for short periods during practice sessions before a full match to allow them to conform to the foot. ### Compatibility These boots are Firm Ground (FG) specific. They are designed for: - Natural grass pitches that are firm and dry. - Natural grass pitches that are slightly damp but not muddy. Avoid using FG boots on: - Artificial turf (AG or TF boots are better suited). - Soft, muddy pitches (SG boots are required). - Hard ground or concrete surfaces, as this can damage the studs and compromise safety. ### Care After Each Use: 1. Remove Debris: Knock off any loose mud or grass from the sole and studs. 2. Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the synthetic leather upper and sole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. 3. Dry Properly: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the material. 4. Do Not Machine Wash: Machine washing can damage the materials and construction of the boots. Regular Maintenance: - Inspect studs for wear or damage. - Check laces for fraying and replace if necessary. - Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to prevent odor and mildew.
