FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these are soft-ground boots designed for natural grass and mud. Using them on artificial surfaces can cause premature wear and potential injury.
Do these boots run true to size?
Yes, the Kakari Elite generally follows standard UK sizing, providing a regular fit designed for secure lockdown.
How often should I clean the leather?
You should wipe off mud after every session and provide a thorough cleaning and conditioning whenever the leather appears dry.
Can I replace the studs?
Yes, these boots feature a standard stud configuration that allows for replacement if the original studs become worn down.
Why is the forefoot made of leather?
The leather forefoot provides a soft, adaptive feel that contours to the foot, which is essential for comfort during long matches and heavy contact.
What is the primary position for this boot?
These are specifically designed for rugby forwards, including props, locks, and back-row players who require maximum stability.
Troubleshooting
Studs are becoming loose during play
Check the tightness of each stud with a standard rugby boot wrench before every game session.
Leather feels stiff after drying
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the forefoot area to restore suppleness after cleaning.
Mud accumulation around the outsole
Use a soft brush to dislodge packed mud from between the studs to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first match, ensure your studs are tightened to the manufacturer's recommendation. To prolong the life of your Kakari Elite boots, wipe them down with a damp cloth immediately after play to remove mud and grit. Because the forefoot is made of genuine leather, allow the boots to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can crack the material. Periodically treat the leather with a suitable conditioner to maintain its softness and water resistance. Always ensure you are using these only on soft, natural grass surfaces to avoid damaging the outsole.
