FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?
While designed for soft ground performance benefiting all players, the specific features like the asymmetrical lacing and secure lockdown are particularly advantageous for backs and players needing agility. Forwards may find the secure fit beneficial in scrums.
Can I replace the studs with metal ones?
These boots come with removable studs designed for soft ground. While replacement studs are possible, ensure they are compatible and designed for soft ground use to maintain performance and avoid damaging the boot.
How do I know if I have a soft ground pitch?
Soft ground pitches are typically natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or have less dense turf. They offer more give underfoot compared to firm or artificial pitches.
What is the primary advantage of the asymmetrical lacing?
The asymmetrical lacing system creates a larger, cleaner surface area on the instep, which reduces interference when kicking the ball, leading to more accurate and powerful kicks.
How do I clean mud off the boots effectively?
After play, use a stiff brush to remove excess mud. Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry completely away from direct heat before storing.
What kind of support does the moulded sockliner provide?
The moulded sockliner is shaped to provide support for the arch of the foot, enhancing comfort and helping to maintain a more natural foot posture during play.
Is there a break-in period for these boots?
Yes, like most rugby boots, there is a break-in period. Wearing them for short durations during training or around the house will help the synthetic upper and footbed mould to your feet for optimal comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or cause discomfort
Ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks. Try wearing the boots around the house for a few sessions to allow them to mould to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the lacing needs adjustment.
Studs feel loose or are difficult to screw in
Clean the threads on both the stud and the boot insert. Ensure you are using the correct type of stud for the boot. Hand-tighten first to avoid cross-threading, then use a stud wrench for final tightening. If threads appear damaged, contact customer support.
Reduced grip on the pitch
Check that the correct type of studs are installed for the ground conditions (soft ground studs for soft ground). Ensure studs are clean and not excessively worn. If the pitch is not soft ground, consider changing to appropriate firm ground studs if available.
Synthetic upper material feels stiff
This is normal for a new synthetic upper. Consistent wear and breaking-in will soften the material. Avoid using excessive heat to speed up the process, as it can damage the boot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Stud Insertion: Ensure all studs are securely screwed into the designated positions on the outsole. Hand-tighten first, then use a stud wrench for a firm fit. Check that all studs are of the same length or configured as desired for your playing style and pitch conditions.
- Initial Fit: Wear the boots around the house with your usual sports socks to break them in and ensure a comfortable fit before a game.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, typically found in natural grass fields that are wet or muddy.
- They are not recommended for use on firm ground or artificial turf, as the stud configuration can lead to discomfort or reduced performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a brush. Clean the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check studs for wear and tear. Clean any mud or debris from the stud threads before re-inserting or storing.
