FAQs
What type of ground are these boots best for?
These boots are designed for soft ground, typically wet or muddy pitches. They feature a stud configuration optimized for maximum traction in these conditions.
Can I replace the studs on these boots?
Yes, these boots are compatible with standard screw-in metal studs, allowing you to replace them as they wear out or to adjust for specific ground conditions.
What is the primary material used in these boots?
The primary material for the upper is typically leather, providing durability and a comfortable fit. However, some variations might incorporate other materials for specific benefits.
How do I clean and care for my Kakari boots?
After play, brush off excess mud and wipe with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Periodically condition leather uppers.
Are these boots suitable for firm ground or artificial grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for soft ground. Using them on firm or artificial surfaces can lead to reduced performance, increased wear, and potential injury.

These boots are available in various adult UK sizes. Please check the product listing for the specific size range.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the boots around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.
Poor grip on soft ground
Check that the studs are clean and free from mud or debris. Ensure you are using the correct type of studs for soft ground. Replace worn-out studs.
Leather upper feels stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for sports footwear after cleaning and drying. This will help to soften the leather and maintain its suppleness.
Studs feel loose
Remove the studs and clean the threads on both the studs and the boot. Re-insert and tighten them firmly. If threads are damaged, consult a professional or consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These boots are designed for immediate use. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug, supportive fit. The laces should be tied securely, but not excessively tight, to allow for natural foot movement while maintaining support.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground rugby pitches. They are compatible with standard screw-in metal studs suitable for soft ground. They are not recommended for use on firm or artificial turf surfaces, as this can affect performance and potentially damage the studs or boot sole.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Stud Maintenance: Periodically check screw-in studs for wear and tear. Clean and re-tighten them as necessary. Replace worn studs to maintain optimal traction.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable boot bag, away from direct sunlight.
