FAQs

What type of ground are these boots best suited for?

These adidas RS-15 boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have give underfoot. They are not recommended for hard ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces.

How do I clean my adidas RS-15 rugby boots?

After each use, remove loose mud with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the upper and studs. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.

Are these boots made with sustainable materials?

Yes, the adidas RS-15 Soft Ground Rugby Boots are made in part with recycled materials as part of adidas' commitment to reducing plastic waste.

What is the benefit of asymmetrical lacing?

Asymmetrical lacing is designed to create a larger, flatter, and cleaner striking surface on the instep of the boot. This can significantly improve kicking accuracy and power by allowing for better contact with the ball.

How should I break in new rugby boots?

It's best to wear new boots for several shorter, less intense sessions (e.g., light training or warm-ups) before using them in a full match. This allows the materials to soften and mould to the unique shape of your foot, reducing the chance of discomfort or blisters.

Can I replace the studs on these boots?

Yes, the metal studs on soft ground boots are typically replaceable. You should use compatible rugby studs designed for soft ground conditions.

Do these boots come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the adidas RS-15 series is available in a range of colors and sizes. Please check with your retailer for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel slippery or lack grip on soft ground.

Ensure all metal studs are tightened and not excessively worn. Clean the studs thoroughly after each use, as caked mud can reduce traction. If studs are worn, replace them.

Experiencing discomfort or blisters.

Ensure you have broken in your boots properly. Check your lacing for overly tight or loose spots. Wear appropriate rugby socks designed to reduce friction and provide cushioning. Verify the boot size is correct for your foot.

Kicking accuracy is not improving as expected.

Re-evaluate your lacing technique for the asymmetrical system to ensure a snug fit that maximizes the clean striking surface. Practice kicking to become accustomed to the new feel and optimized contact area.

Boots feel heavy or retain moisture after play.

Thoroughly clean and air dry boots after every use. Remove insoles if possible to aid drying. Stuffing with newspaper helps absorb internal moisture. Avoid leaving them in a damp bag for extended periods.

Studs keep coming loose or falling out.

Regularly check and tighten studs before and after each session. If studs continue to loosen, consider using thread lock on the stud threads. Ensure you are using the correct stud type for soft ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup and care will ensure your adidas RS-15 Soft Ground Rugby Boots perform optimally and last longer.

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Begin by lacing the boots firmly but comfortably. The asymmetrical lacing is designed to be tied to secure your foot while providing a smooth striking surface. Experiment with tension to find what best suits your foot and provides maximum kicking accuracy and support.
  2. Stud Check: Before your first use, ensure all metal studs are securely tightened. It's good practice to re-check them periodically, as they can loosen during play.
  3. Break-in Period: Like all new boots, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for light training sessions or walks before full-intensity play to allow them to mould to your feet.

Compatibility

  • Ground Type: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground pitches. This means natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or otherwise soft. Using them on hard ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces will not only reduce performance but can also damage the studs and the boots themselves.
  • Age Group: Designed for adult players.
  • Gender: This specific variant is for male players, though other variants may be unisex.

Care and Maintenance

  1. Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, especially in muddy conditions, clean your boots. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and mud from the upper and studs. A damp cloth with mild soap can be used for more stubborn grime. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check your studs for wear and tear. Replace any worn-out or damaged studs to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury.
  4. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can help protect them during transport and storage.
