Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure they fit snugly; a proper fit is crucial for performance and injury prevention. The laces should be tied securely but not overly tight to avoid restricting circulation.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically engineered for *soft ground* (SG) rugby pitches. They are not recommended for use on firm, hard, or artificial turf surfaces, as this can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the studs or pitch.
Care: After each use, particularly on wet or muddy grounds:
- Remove excess mud with a brush or damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or solvents.
- Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the materials.
- Clean studs of any debris to maintain their grip. If metal studs are removable, clean them individually.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
