FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or have been recently aerated.
How do I clean my RS-15 Pro boots?
After use, brush off excess mud with a soft brush or wipe with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Do not machine wash.
Will the Fusionskin leather stretch over time?
Yes, the Fusionskin leather is designed to adapt to the shape of your foot, providing a more personalized and comfortable fit after a break-in period.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are not recommended for artificial grass. The stud configuration is designed for soft ground and may cause discomfort or damage on artificial surfaces.
What is the primary benefit of the stud combination?
The mix of metal and molded studs provides superior traction and stability on soft, often slippery, ground conditions, ensuring you remain locked in during play.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their condition.
Are these boots suitable for all adult rugby players?
These boots are designed for adult male players seeking performance on soft ground. While suitable for many positions, players should consider their specific role and pitch conditions when choosing footwear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight during first wear.
The Fusionskin leather requires a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or around the house to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Reduced grip on dry or firm pitches.
These boots are optimized for soft ground. For firmer surfaces, consider using a different type of boot with shorter or harder studs. Attempting to use these on firm ground can also lead to premature stud wear.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for sports footwear. Allow it to absorb fully before the next use.
Studs feel loose or damaged.
Inspect the studs for any damage. If they are loose, try tightening them if they are screw-in studs. If they are molded and damaged, or if screw-in studs cannot be tightened, it may be time to replace the boots.
