Troubleshooting

Studs feel loose or are difficult to screw in

Ensure the stud threads and boot holes are clean and free from debris. Hand-tighten studs first, then use a stud key for final tightening. Do not over-tighten.

Reduced traction on the pitch

Check that all studs are present and securely fastened. Clean mud and debris from the studs and the soleplate. Replace worn or damaged studs.

Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear appropriate sports socks. Break in the boots gradually with shorter sessions before full matches.

Damage to the upper material

Avoid excessive scraping against hard surfaces. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Store boots properly to prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure all eight metal studs are securely screwed into the stud holes before play. Check each stud for tightness.

Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches. They are not recommended for use on firm, hard, or artificial surfaces as this can damage the studs and pitch, and may lead to injury.
