Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight for optimal comfort and support. For soft ground (SG) boots, the studs are designed for specific pitch conditions.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for play on soft ground rugby pitches. They are compatible with most standard rugby socks and apparel. Due to their specific stud design, they are not recommended for use on artificial turf, hard, or dry natural grass surfaces as this can lead to premature wear or reduced performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Stud Maintenance: Check studs regularly for wear and tear. Replace any damaged or worn studs to maintain optimal traction. For SG boots, ensure studs are screwed in securely if they are removable.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
