FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?

Troubleshooting
Studs feel loose or worn out
Remove and inspect studs. Replace any worn or damaged studs with new, compatible metal soft ground studs using a stud key.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable during initial wear
Wear the boots for short periods during training or around the house to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug, supportive fit.
Traction is poor on a particular pitch
Verify the pitch conditions match the boot's intended use (soft ground). If the pitch is firmer, consider alternative studs if compatible and permitted by competition rules.
Mud accumulation hindering performance
Clean the boots thoroughly after each use, paying attention to the soleplate and stud areas. Use a soft brush and damp cloth to remove all debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Stud Replacement: Inspect the eight removable metal studs. If desired or necessary for specific pitch conditions, replace them with appropriate soft ground studs (ensure compatibility). Use a stud key for insertion and removal.
Lacing: Securely lace the boots using the standard lace closure to achieve a snug, supportive fit. Ensure the internal support system is engaged by tightening evenly.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, typically characterized by wet, muddy, or naturally yielding turf.
They are not recommended for hard ground or artificial grass, as this can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the studs and soleplate.
Care:
Cleaning: After use, remove excess mud with a brush. Wipe the boots down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
