FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?

Can the studs be replaced?

How do I clean and maintain these rugby boots?
After play, remove excess mud with a brush or damp cloth. Allow boots to air dry naturally away from heat. Periodically clean stud holes and inspect studs.
What does 'Kakari RS' signify?
The 'Kakari' line generally refers to adidas rugby boots designed for forwards, emphasizing durability and stability. 'RS' indicates the integration of a speed-focused soleplate, likely from the RS15 model, to enhance agility.
Are these boots made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the adidas Kakari RS SG Rugby Boots are made with at least 20% recycled materials as part of adidas's commitment to sustainability.
What is the main advantage of the soleplate design?

Troubleshooting
Studs feel loose or are difficult to tighten.
Ensure the stud holes are clear of mud and debris. Use a stud key for proper tightening. If the threads are damaged, contact customer support.
Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the boots gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Traction is poor on a dry or hard pitch.
These boots are designed for soft ground. Performance on firm ground will be limited. Consider an alternative boot with a different stud configuration for such conditions.
Studs are worn or damaged.
Replace worn studs with compatible soft ground metal studs. Regular inspection and replacement of studs are recommended for optimal performance and safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come with eight metal soft ground studs pre-inserted. Ensure studs are securely tightened before first use. For optimal performance on soft ground, ensure studs are fully screwed in. It is recommended to carry a stud key for adjustments during play if needed.
Compatibility: The SG (Soft Ground) designation means these boots are specifically designed for pitches that are wet, muddy, or have longer grass. They are most effective on natural turf surfaces that can provide adequate purchase for the metal studs. Use on hard or artificial ground may lead to premature stud wear and discomfort.
Care: After each use, clean the boots by removing excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Remove studs periodically to clean any debris from the stud holes and inspect them for wear. Store in a cool, dry place.
