FAQs
What type of ground are these boots suitable for?
These adidas RS-15 boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or natural grass fields with some give. They are not recommended for firm ground or artificial turf.
Are the studs removable?
Yes, the boots feature six removable metal studs, along with five fixed moulded support studs. This mixed configuration is optimized for soft ground traction.
How do I clean my adidas RS-15 rugby boots?
After use, remove excess mud with a damp cloth or soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What does 'asymmetrical lacing' mean for my game?
Asymmetrical lacing shifts the lacing system slightly off-centre, creating a larger, cleaner striking surface on the instep. This can help improve your kicking accuracy and power by providing a more consistent contact point with the ball.
Are these boots durable enough for competitive rugby?
Yes, the RS-15 boots are crafted with durable synthetic materials designed to withstand the physical demands of competitive rugby matches and training sessions.
Do these boots contain recycled materials?
Yes, these boots are made in part with recycled content, contributing to adidas' efforts to reduce waste and environmental impact. The exact percentage of recycled material is not specified but it indicates a commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slippery on the pitch.
Check if you are playing on soft ground; these boots are not suited for firm or artificial surfaces. Inspect the metal studs for wear or looseness; tighten or replace any worn studs. Ensure the soleplate is clean and free of mud buildup.
Discomfort or rubbing during play.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try different lacing techniques to find a more comfortable fit. Wear appropriate rugby socks. If new, allow for a brief break-in period, as the synthetic upper may need a few sessions to mold to your foot.
Laces come undone frequently.
Practice using a 'double knot' or a 'surgeon's knot' for extra security. Ensure the laces are pulled tight enough across the foot to prevent excessive movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your new RS-15 boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Before your first use, ensure all metal studs are securely tightened using a stud wrench (often sold separately). Lace up the boots snugly, utilizing the asymmetrical design for optimal fit and feel.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground rugby pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have a significant amount of give. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial turf (AG), or hard ground (HG) surfaces, as the metal studs can cause damage to the pitch and the boots, and will not provide appropriate grip.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, wipe down your boots with a damp cloth to remove excess dirt. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten the metal studs. Worn or damaged studs should be replaced promptly to maintain grip and prevent injury. Extra studs are available from sports retailers.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally with newspaper stuffed inside to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
