FAQs
What type of pitch are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically engineered for soft ground, meaning natural pitches that are wet, muddy, and less firm.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are not designed for artificial grass. Using them on such surfaces can damage the studs and the boot structure, and may reduce performance.
How do I clean my adidas RS-15 Pro boots?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild soap and water or follow machine wash instructions if specified, ensuring thorough air drying.
Will the leather stretch over time?
Yes, the Fusionskin leather is designed to adapt to your foot shape, providing a more personalized and comfortable fit with wear.
What is the difference between metal and moulded studs on these boots?
Metal studs are typically longer and can be removed/replaced, offering deeper penetration into soft ground for maximum grip. Moulded studs are fixed and provide good traction on a range of surfaces, contributing to overall stability.
Are these boots suitable for all adult players?
Yes, they are designed for adult players, particularly those who frequently play on soft ground conditions and require enhanced grip and performance.
What is the primary benefit of the Fusionskin forefoot?
The Fusionskin forefoot offers a premium feel, improved touch on the ball, and adapts to the wearer's foot for a custom, comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight initially
The Fusionskin leather is designed to mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods during training sessions to break them in. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Reduced grip on firmer ground
These boots are optimized for soft ground. For firmer pitches, consider using a different set of boots with alternative stud configurations to prevent excessive stud wear and ensure proper traction.
Mud and debris accumulating in studs
After each use, clean the studs thoroughly with a brush or a jet of water to remove embedded mud. This ensures optimal grip for the next wear.
Leather appears dry or stiff
After cleaning, apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Ensure boots are dry before conditioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots come ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, performance-oriented fit. It is recommended to wear them for a short period, such as a light training session, to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape before a full match.
Compatibility:
The adidas RS-15 Pro Soft Ground Rugby Boots are specifically designed for natural soft ground pitches. They are not recommended for use on firm, hard, or artificial ground surfaces, as this can lead to premature wear of the studs and potential discomfort or injury.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, clean the boots with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals 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 heaters, as this can damage the leather and affect the boot's shape.
- Stud Maintenance: Periodically check the studs for wear and tear. Clean any debris from the stud base.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using a boot bag.
- Washing: The product description mentions 'Machine wash'. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and remove any loose dirt first. Ensure they are thoroughly dried afterward. However, hand washing with a damp cloth is generally preferred for maintaining leather quality.
