Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?

These boots are primarily designed for powerful forwards who benefit from stability, protection, and strong traction. While they can be used by other positions, their design emphasizes forward play characteristics.

What does 'SG' stand for in the product name?

How many studs do these boots have?

Troubleshooting

Studs not gripping effectively

Ensure all eight metal studs are screwed in tightly and are not worn down. Clean mud from the stud threads and base plate.

Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight

Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have the correct size. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.

Upper material showing excessive wear

Ensure the boots are only used on soft ground. Clean regularly and avoid harsh chemicals. Check for any sharp objects on the pitch that may have caused damage.

Waterlogging or dampness inside the boot

Ensure the boots are properly dried after each use. Check for any damage to the upper or seams that might allow water ingress.
