Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly and comfortably. If using metal studs, check local league regulations regarding stud length and type.
Compatibility: Optimized for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, typically damp or muddy natural grass surfaces. They are not recommended for hard or artificial turf surfaces as this can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the studs and soleplate.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) to prevent the leather from cracking or becoming stiff.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect metal studs for wear and tear. Clean and tighten them as needed. Ensure all studs are present and securely attached before each game.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag to protect them.
