FAQs
What type of ground are these boots suitable for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or natural grass fields.
Are the studs replaceable?
Yes, the boots feature six removable metal studs which can be replaced when worn or damaged. The five moulded support studs are fixed.
How do I ensure a good fit with the 'regular fit' design?
The regular fit offers a standard width suitable for most foot shapes. We recommend trying them on with your usual rugby socks to ensure comfort and adequate space without excessive movement.
What are Sensepods and how do they benefit me?
Sensepods are integrated into the heel to provide a secure, locked-in feel. This minimizes foot slippage inside the boot, enhancing stability and ensuring efficient power transfer during explosive movements like sprints.
How does asymmetrical lacing improve performance?
Asymmetrical lacing creates a larger, cleaner striking surface on the instep, allowing for improved ball contact and enhanced kicking accuracy and power.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass (AG) pitches. The soft ground (SG) stud configuration can damage the pitch and potentially cause discomfort or injury to the wearer on harder surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Poor traction on soft ground
Ensure all six removable metal studs are present, clean, and tightly screwed in. Check for excessive mud buildup on the soleplate which can reduce grip. If studs are worn, replace them.
Discomfort or rubbing in the heel area
Allow for a break-in period; the Sensepods are designed to mould to your heel for a secure fit. Ensure you're wearing appropriate rugby socks. If discomfort persists, check sizing or consult a footwear specialist.
Studs loosening or falling out during play
Always check and tighten your removable metal studs before every training session or match. Carry a stud wrench in your kit bag for quick adjustments during play. Ensure studs are not cross-threaded when re-inserting.
Reduced kicking accuracy
Ensure the boots are clean, especially the 3D-printed elements, to maintain optimal ball contact. Practice kicking to adapt to the asymmetrical lacing, which is designed to enhance strike zones.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Primarily designed for soft ground, less effective on firm or artificial pitches.
- Removable metal studs require regular checking and maintenance.
- The specialized design, including asymmetrical lacing, might require a short adjustment period for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Adizero RS15 boots come equipped with six removable metal studs and five moulded support studs. Before your first use, ensure all metal studs are securely tightened with a stud wrench. Periodically check and retighten studs during the season, especially after use on very soft or heavy ground, to prevent loss or injury.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or otherwise yielding. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs, outsole, and potentially cause injury.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the synthetic and ripstop upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution, but avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or stiffen. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect your metal studs for wear and tear. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal traction and safety.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prolong their lifespan.
