FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) conditions, meaning natural grass fields that are wet and muddy. The 18mm metal studs provide optimal grip on such surfaces.
Are the studs replaceable?
Yes, the eight 18mm metal studs are replaceable. It's recommended to check them regularly and replace any that are worn or damaged to maintain performance.
Who are these boots primarily designed for?
These boots are built for power and dominance, specifically designed to meet the demands of rugby forwards such as props and locks, who require maximum traction and stability in scrums and breakdowns.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
The boots feature a conventional lace-up design. Ensure you lace them tightly and evenly from bottom to top, and double-knot your laces to prevent them from coming undone during play.
What is the benefit of the FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole?
The FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole maximizes power transfer from your foot to the ground, minimizing energy loss. This helps you maintain stamina for powerful drives and recovery runs throughout the game.
How should I clean and care for my boots?
After use, wipe off mud and dirt with a damp cloth. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regularly check and tighten or replace studs. Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots.
Troubleshooting
My boots feel slippery on the pitch.
Ensure you are playing on soft, wet, or muddy natural grass, as these boots are designed for such conditions. Check that the 18mm metal studs are clean, tight, and not excessively worn. Replace any worn studs.
The studs feel loose during play.
Regularly check and tighten all eight 18mm metal studs before and after each use. If a stud repeatedly comes loose or is stripped, it may need to be replaced.
I experience discomfort during prolonged wear.
Ensure the boots are correctly laced for a snug but not overly tight fit. Verify you have the correct size. Allow for a break-in period; new boots often require a few sessions to mold to your feet. The EVA footbed and cushioned collar are designed for comfort, but personal fit can vary.
The boots are getting very dirty and stained.
The synthetic upper is scuff-resistant but not stain-proof. Clean your boots immediately after each use with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) to prevent mud and dirt from setting. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Utilize the conventional lace-up design to achieve a snug and secure fit. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, ensuring even tension. Double-knot the laces to prevent them from coming undone during play.
- Initial Wear: It's advisable to wear the boots for short periods before a match to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. This can help prevent discomfort during intense activity.
Compatibility
- Surface: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground conditions, meaning natural grass surfaces that are wet and muddy. The 18mm metal studs are optimized for maximum penetration and grip in these environments.
- Avoid Firm Ground: Using these boots on firm ground or artificial pitches can lead to reduced performance, accelerated stud wear, and potential discomfort or injury.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the tightness of the 18mm metal studs. Loose studs can compromise grip and may be lost. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal performance and safety.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
