FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass?
No, these are strictly designed for soft ground. Using them on artificial surfaces can cause premature wear and potential injury.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Kakari Elite has a regular fit. You should have about half an inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the boot.
Can I replace the studs?
Yes, the studs are replaceable. Ensure you use compatible adidas soft-ground replacement studs.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the synthetic materials are water-resistant, the leather forefoot is porous. Proper drying and conditioning are required if they become saturated.
What position are these boots best for?
These are primarily designed for rugby forwards (props, locks, and back row) who prioritize stability and traction.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel loose during play
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through all eyelets and double-knot them to prevent loosening during high-impact phases.
Studs keep clogging with mud
Regularly inspect the outsole and clear debris between the studs after play to maintain optimal traction.
Leather feels stiff after drying
Apply a small amount of leather food or conditioner to the forefoot and work it in gently to restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, check that your studs are tightened before every match, especially when playing on very soft, shifting mud. When using these on soft ground, ensure the studs are appropriate for the specific conditions of the pitch. After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush and allow the boots to air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as these will damage the leather and cause it to crack. Using a leather conditioner occasionally will help maintain the suppleness of the forefoot material, extending the lifespan of your boots significantly.
