FAQs

What type of ground are these boots best for?

These adidas RS-15 boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which typically include wet or muddy natural grass fields. They feature a mix of metal and moulded studs for optimal grip in these conditions.

Can I use these boots on artificial turf or firm ground?

While they might offer some grip, these boots are not optimized for artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG) pitches. Using SG studs on harder surfaces can cause discomfort, damage the studs or pitch, and reduce performance.

How does the asymmetrical lacing benefit my game?

The asymmetrical lacing creates a larger, cleaner striking surface on the instep of the boot. This design is intended to improve your contact with the ball, leading to enhanced kicking accuracy and power.

Are these boots durable enough for competitive rugby?

Yes, the adidas RS-15 boots are crafted with durable synthetic materials designed to withstand the physicality and demands of competitive rugby matches and intense training sessions.

How do I clean my adidas RS-15 rugby boots?

To clean your boots, remove excess mud with a soft brush, then wipe them down with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regularly check and tighten your metal studs.

What does 'made in part with recycled materials' mean?

The upper of these boots is made with at least 50% recycled content. This means that a significant portion of the materials used in the upper construction comes from recycled sources, helping to reduce waste and reliance on virgin materials.

Do these boots come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the adidas RS-15 series is available in various colors and sizes. Please check product listings for available variants to find the perfect match for your preference and team colors. (Info needed: specific availability of other variants)

Troubleshooting

Poor grip on the pitch

Ensure you are playing on soft ground conditions. Check the studs for wear or damage and replace any worn metal studs. Clean mud from between the studs for better traction.

Boots feel uncomfortable or rub

Verify you have the correct size and fit. Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly. Break in new boots during shorter training sessions before competitive matches. Check socks for seams that might cause rubbing.

Laces come undone frequently

Use a double knot for added security during play. Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets for an even and firm hold.

Damage to synthetic upper

Inspect for punctures or tears. Small scuffs are normal for rugby boots; however, larger damage may require professional repair or replacement. Avoid dragging boots on abrasive surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the asymmetrical laces are tied securely. The design is intended to optimize your kicking surface, so ensure a snug but comfortable fit to maximize this benefit.
  2. Stud Check: Before each use, inspect the metal studs to ensure they are firmly screwed into place. Replace any worn or damaged studs immediately.

Compatibility:

  • Ground Type: These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. They are equipped with a mix of metal and moulded studs to provide optimal grip on wet, muddy, or soft natural grass.
  • Activity: Ideal for all forms of rugby, including competitive matches and practice sessions, across various positions that require speed, agility, and kicking precision.

Care & Maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and debris from the boots, especially around the studs, using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry with direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers) as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
  3. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten the metal studs. Consider replacing studs when they show significant wear to maintain optimal grip.
  4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
  5. Recycled Material Care: While durable, the synthetic upper with recycled content benefits from gentle cleaning to maintain its integrity and appearance.
