FAQs
What type of ground are these boots suitable for?
These are Soft Ground (SG) boots, designed exclusively for use on wet, muddy, or soft natural grass pitches. They are not suitable for firm ground or artificial turf.
How do I clean my adidas RS15 SG boots?
After each use, remove mud with a damp cloth or soft brush. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and air dry away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the asymmetrical lacing?
The asymmetrical lacing creates a larger and cleaner surface area on the instep of the boot, which is the primary contact point for kicking. This design aims to improve kicking accuracy and power.
Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?
While they can be worn by any player, their lightweight design and focus on speed, agility, and kicking accuracy make them particularly well-suited for backs (e.g., wings, fly-halves, fullbacks) and agile loose forwards.
Are these boots environmentally friendly?
The upper of these boots is made with at least 50% recycled content, demonstrating adidas' commitment to sustainability and reducing plastic waste.
Can I replace the studs?
Yes, the studs are typically removable and replaceable. Regularly check them for wear and ensure they are tightened before each use. Replacement studs can usually be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on the pitch.
Ensure you are playing on a soft ground pitch. Check that all studs are present, tightened, and not excessively worn. Replace any missing or worn studs.
Discomfort or rubbing during play.
Verify you have the correct size and fit. Ensure your socks are appropriate for rugby boots (e.g., thick sports socks). Re-tie laces to ensure even pressure distribution, avoiding overly tight or loose spots. Allow a break-in period for the boots to conform to your feet.
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure lacing technique. The asymmetrical lacing may require a slightly different knotting approach to stay secure during dynamic play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the asymmetrical laces are threaded securely and tied to a comfortable tension. The unique lacing pattern is designed to provide a snug fit and optimize the kicking surface.
- Initial Fit: Wear the boots during a light warm-up or walk to allow them to conform to your foot. While synthetic uppers don't stretch like leather, they will soften slightly with use.
Compatibility
- Ground Type: These are Soft Ground (SG) boots. They are specifically designed for use on natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or otherwise soft. Using them on firm ground, artificial turf, or hard surfaces will damage the studs and can lead to instability and discomfort.
- Player Type: Ideal for players who prioritize speed, agility, and kicking accuracy, such as wingers, fly-halves, fullbacks, and loose forwards.
Care
- Cleaning After Each Use: After every match or training session, wipe off mud and debris with a damp cloth or soft brush. Do not machine wash.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten any removable studs. Replace worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain grip and boot performance.
- Drying: Remove any excess moisture by stuffing the boots with newspaper. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them during transport.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents or solvents for cleaning, as these can degrade the synthetic upper and adhesives.
