FAQs

What does 'SG' mean on these boots?

'SG' stands for Soft Ground. These boots are designed with specific stud configurations optimized for traction on wet, muddy, or soft natural grass pitches.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, it is not recommended. SG boots are not designed for artificial turf and using them on such surfaces can lead to reduced performance, increased risk of injury, and potential damage to the studs and the artificial pitch.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to try them on with your usual rugby socks. Rugby boots should fit snugly, providing support without being uncomfortably tight. Consult the adidas sizing chart for specific measurements.

How often should I replace the studs?

This depends on usage frequency and pitch conditions. Regularly inspect studs for wear. If they appear significantly worn down or damaged, they should be replaced to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury.

Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?

The Kakari RS (SG) are designed for dynamic players, making them versatile. While they offer benefits across many positions, players who require maximum traction on soft ground will benefit most.

What is the warranty period for these boots?

Typically, adidas products come with a standard manufacturer's warranty against defects. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided at the point of purchase for details.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period of 1-2 training sessions. Wear them with your usual rugby socks. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider alternative lacing techniques.

Traction issues on the pitch

Verify that the pitch conditions are suitable for Soft Ground (SG) studs. Ensure all studs are present, securely fastened, and not excessively worn. Clean any mud obstructing the studs.

Water ingress or dampness inside the boot

Ensure boots are properly dried after each use. Check for any visible damage to the boot material or seams that might be allowing water in. Use waterproofing sprays designed for athletic footwear if needed.

Studs feel loose

Check if the studs are screw-in type. If so, tighten them using the appropriate tool. If they are fixed studs and feel loose, this may indicate a manufacturing defect or excessive wear, and replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are designed for immediate play upon purchase. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before a match. If new to SG boots, consider a brief warm-up session to acclimate.

Compatibility: The 'SG' (Soft Ground) designation means these boots are specifically engineered for natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or soft. They are not recommended for use on firm ground or artificial turf, as this can lead to slippage and potential damage to the studs or pitch.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
  4. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check studs for wear and tear. Replace any damaged or worn studs to ensure optimal performance and safety.
