Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Use the lacing system to adjust tightness. If still uncomfortable after a break-in period, consider a different size or model.
Reduced grip on the pitch
Check if the studs are clean and free of debris. Ensure you are playing on appropriate soft ground conditions. For firmer ground, consider alternative stud patterns or boots designed for firm ground.
Materials showing wear after a few games
Ensure proper cleaning and drying procedures are followed after each use. Avoid extreme conditions or rough treatment beyond normal gameplay.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the boots are the correct size for a snug, supportive fit. Lace them up securely, ensuring an even tension across the foot and ankle.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for *soft ground* rugby pitches. They are best suited for wet or muddy conditions where standard firm-ground studs may not provide adequate grip.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
