FAQs

What type of pitch are these boots designed for?

These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, which are typically wet and muddy.

How many studs do these boots have, and are they removable?

Yes, the boots feature eight removable metal studs, designed to provide optimal traction on soft ground.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass or firm ground?

It is not recommended. The metal studs are designed for soft ground and can cause damage to artificial or firm surfaces, potentially leading to injury and reduced boot lifespan.

Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?

While designed for powerful forwards, the combination of speed-focused soleplate and durable upper can benefit players across various positions who require traction and stability.

What is the benefit of the internal support system?

The internal support system provides enhanced stability and a secure fit, giving players confidence during explosive movements, tackles, and scrums.

How do I clean and maintain the studs?

Clean mud from the stud threads and ensure they are securely tightened before and after each use. Allow them to dry naturally, and store them with studs removed for long-term storage to prevent corrosion.

What does 'made in part with recycled material' mean?

This indicates that at least 20% of the boot's materials are derived from recycled sources, contributing to a reduction in waste and environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thinner socks or trying a professional boot stretching service if the tightness is in specific areas. Allow a break-in period for the materials to mold to your foot shape.

Loss of traction on soft ground.

Check that all eight metal studs are securely tightened and free of mud. Inspect studs for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the boots are appropriate for the specific ground conditions.

Studs are difficult to remove or replace.

Clean the stud threads thoroughly to remove any mud or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the threads if needed. Use a stud key for leverage.

Materials feel stiff after drying.

Avoid drying boots with direct heat. Allow them to air dry naturally. Once dry, a leather conditioner (if applicable to the specific material) can help restore suppleness.

Water ingress or dampness inside the boot.

Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to prevent water entry. After use, empty any excess water and allow the boots to dry thoroughly as per care instructions. Consider using waterproof socks for extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the boots are the correct size and fit snugly.
  2. Screw in the eight removable metal soft ground studs securely. Hand-tighten first, then use a stud key for final tightening.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches. They are not recommended for firm, hard, or artificial grass surfaces as this can lead to stud damage, discomfort, and reduced performance.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Wipe the boots with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Stud Maintenance: Regularly check that all studs are securely tightened before and after use. Clean mud from the stud threads. Store the boots with studs removed if storing for extended periods to prevent corrosion.
