FAQs

What kind of pitches are these boots suitable for?

These are Soft Ground (SG) boots, ideal for wet, muddy, and soft natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial turf, or hard ground.

Can I replace the studs?

Yes, the 18mm metal studs are replaceable. It is recommended to regularly check and replace worn or damaged studs to maintain optimal traction and safety.

How do I clean these boots?

After use, remove excess mud with a brush, then hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.

Are these boots suitable for backs as well as forwards?

While specifically designed with powerful forwards in mind for scrum dominance and stability, some backs who prioritize maximum traction on soft ground may also find them beneficial, especially in adverse weather conditions.

What is `PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM` technology?

`PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM` technology is integrated into the outsole to maximize power transfer from your foot to the ground and minimize energy loss, enhancing your stability and explosive power.

What does the `TPU Skin` upper do?

The `TPU Skin` upper provides robust protection for your feet against impacts and abrasions common in rugby, without adding significant weight to the boot, helping maintain agility.

Are these boots waterproof?

The synthetic upper offers good resistance to water penetration, especially with the `TPU Skin`, but they are not fully waterproof. Your feet will remain relatively dry in damp conditions, but heavy rain or submersion may lead to some moisture ingress.

Troubleshooting

Lack of grip on soft ground

Ensure all 18mm metal studs are clean, securely tightened, and not excessively worn. Check if the pitch is indeed soft ground; these boots are not designed for firm surfaces.

Boots feel uncomfortable or too tight

Confirm you have the correct size. Allow for a break-in period. Adjust lacing to ensure even pressure across the foot, making use of the `Winged Stretch Net tongue` for support.

Foot slipping inside the boot

Ensure laces are tied securely to engage the `Winged Stretch Net tongue` and `embroidered suspension cable design` for lockdown. Consider wearing appropriate rugby socks for better internal grip.

Studs are wearing down quickly

Verify you are only using the boots on soft ground pitches. Using SG studs on harder surfaces will accelerate wear. Ensure proper cleaning to prevent dirt buildup around the studs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup & First Use 1. Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight. The `Winged Stretch Net tongue` is designed to provide support, so adjust lacing to achieve a snug fit around your midfoot. 2. Break-In: Like most rugby boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial. Wear them for light training sessions or walks before intense match play to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. 3. Stud Check: Before each use, verify that all eight 18mm metal studs are securely tightened. Loose studs can affect traction and potentially cause injury. ### Compatibility - Pitch Type: These are Soft Ground (SG) boots. They are specifically designed for natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or soft, where metal studs can properly penetrate the surface for maximum grip. - Avoid: Do NOT use these boots on firm ground, artificial turf (AG), or hard ground (HG) pitches, as this can damage the studs, outsole, and reduce performance, potentially leading to injury. ### Care & Maintenance 1. Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each game or training session, clean your boots. Remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or cloth. 2. Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect studs for wear or damage. Replace any worn or broken studs to maintain optimal performance and safety. 3. Washing: Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage materials. 4. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. 5. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp kit bags, as this can lead to mold and material degradation.
