FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground conditions, such as wet grass or muddy pitches.
How do I clean the linen upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove mud. Avoid excessive water and harsh cleaning agents. Allow to air dry naturally.
Are these boots suitable for forwards or backs?
The Kakari series is generally known for providing stability and support, making them a good option for forwards, but they can also suit backs who value secure footing.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf?
It is not recommended. These boots are optimized for soft ground, and using them on artificial turf may lead to poor performance and potential damage to the studs and upper.
What sizes are available?
These boots are available in various adult UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the specific size range.
How should I store the boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight after initial wear.
The linen upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Ensure lacing is not excessively tight.
Loss of traction on the field.
Check if the studs are worn down or if mud is packed between them. Clean the studs thoroughly. For soft ground boots, ensure the playing surface is not too firm or dry.
Material feels stiff after drying.
This can happen if the boots were dried too quickly or with heat. Ensure you are air-drying them at room temperature. Gentle conditioning of the linen material might be considered, but follow manufacturer guidelines if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly before your first game. For optimal performance on soft ground, ensure the studs are appropriate for the pitch conditions and are securely fastened.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for rugby on soft ground. They are not intended for other sports or playing on hard surfaces, which could damage the studs and affect performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the linen material and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape if stored for extended periods.
