FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass pitches?
No, the adidas RS 15 SG Rugby Boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) natural grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass (AG) can damage the boots, compromise your grip, and potentially lead to injury.
How do I know what size to get?
The adidas RS 15 SG Rugby Boots come in a regular fit. We recommend consulting the adidas size chart for rugby boots and potentially trying them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, especially with rugby socks.
Can I replace the metal studs?
Yes, the six metal studs on the soleplate are removable and replaceable. You can purchase compatible replacement stud packs and use a stud wrench to change them.
How do I clean mud off the boots?
After each use, remove excess mud with a stiff brush or by gently knocking the boots together. Then, wipe down the synthetic upper and soleplate with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Always air dry completely.
What is the benefit of asymmetrical lacing?
Asymmetrical lacing creates a larger, flatter, and cleaner strike zone on the instep of the boot. This can significantly improve kicking accuracy and power by providing more consistent contact with the ball.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the synthetic upper offers some resistance to water, these boots are not fully waterproof. They are designed to perform well in wet conditions, but prolonged exposure to water may result in some moisture ingress.
Troubleshooting
Studs feel loose or fall out during play
Ensure all removable studs are tightened securely with a stud wrench before every use. Check for thread damage if studs repeatedly loosen and replace if necessary.
Lack of grip on soft ground
Verify that you are using the correct stud length for the pitch conditions. Clean the soleplate thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud that might reduce traction. Ensure studs are not excessively worn.
Boots feel uncomfortable or rub
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in new boots gradually. Wear appropriate rugby socks to provide cushioning and reduce friction. Check for any debris inside the boot.
Synthetic upper appears dirty or stained
Clean the boots immediately after use with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). For stubborn stains, a specialized boot cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Boots retain moisture or smell after cleaning
After cleaning, allow the boots to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Remove the insoles to help them dry faster. Using boot deodorizers or stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your adidas RS 15 SG Rugby Boots come with a soft ground soleplate featuring six removable metal studs and five moulded support studs. Before your first use, ensure all studs are securely tightened using a stud wrench (usually sold separately with stud packs). It's good practice to check stud tightness before every game or training session.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces where deeper penetration is required for optimal traction. They are *not* recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as using them on inappropriate surfaces can lead to discomfort, damage to the boots, or potential injury.
Care
To ensure the longevity of your boots and maintain their performance:
- Clean After Every Use: Remove excess mud and debris immediately after play. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe down the synthetic upper and soleplate.
- Rinse Studs: Pay particular attention to cleaning around the studs to prevent mud from hardening and impacting performance.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten removable studs. Replace worn or damaged studs as needed.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from scratches and dust.
