FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?
While versatile, the Kakari series is particularly favored by forwards due to the enhanced support and grip offered on soft ground, which aids in scrummaging and forward drives.
How long does the leather upper typically take to break in?
The break-in period can vary, but most users find the boots comfortable after a few training sessions or one full match. Consistent wear will help the leather mold to your foot.
Can I use these boots on an artificial grass pitch?
It is not recommended. These boots are specifically designed for soft, natural ground. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to poor performance, excessive stud wear, and potential injury.
What is the best way to clean the studs?
After removing excess mud, use a small brush or a dull knife to gently clean any debris lodged between or on the studs.
Do these boots come in other colors?
The specific model referenced comes in a black and white colorway. Variations might exist for other models within the Kakari series.
What UK size is this product listing for?
This specific product listing is for a UK size 13.
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather provides a degree of water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. For extremely wet conditions, additional waterproofing treatments or specific waterproof boots may be necessary.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight after initial wear.
Continue wearing them for short periods. The leather will stretch and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Lack of grip on a slightly damp pitch.
Ensure studs are clean and free from mud or debris. For very wet conditions, consider ensuring the ground is adequately soft to benefit from the stud design.
Water seeping into the boots.
Leather offers some water resistance but is not fully waterproof. Allow boots to dry thoroughly after wet use. Consider using a leather waterproofing treatment designed for sports footwear if excessive water ingress is a concern.
Soles feel stiff.
This is normal for new leather boots. With continued use on the field, the sole will become more flexible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied for a snug fit, adjusting the tension to your preference. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation.
- Initial Wear: Wear the boots around the house for a short period to begin the break-in process and identify any pressure points.
Compatibility:
- These boots are specifically designed for soft ground rugby pitches. They are compatible with natural grass surfaces that are wet or muddy.
- Not recommended for firm, artificial, or hard ground surfaces, as this can lead to reduced performance and potential discomfort.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fires) as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use boot trees or stuff with newspaper to help maintain their shape while drying and storing.
