Product Information
Full details
The adidas Kakari Elite (SG) Boots are engineered specifically for rugby forwards who require maximum stability and power during intense set-piece play. These boots offer a superior, grounded feel through a full-grain leather forefoot and a specialized outsole designed for soft ground traction. While they excel in demanding conditions, players should be aware that their specific focus on forward-play support means they may feel heavier and less agile than boots designed for back-line speed.

FAQs
Can I wear these on artificial grass?
No, these are Soft Ground (SG) boots and the stud pattern is designed for natural turf. Using them on artificial surfaces can cause injury and damage the boot.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak the leather or use harsh chemical detergents.
Are these suitable for backs?
While anyone can wear them, they are specifically built for the stability needs of forwards. Backs might prefer lighter, more agile models.
Does the leather stretch?
Yes, natural leather will naturally adapt and stretch slightly to the shape of your foot over time for a customized fit.
What should I do if my studs are worn down?
You should purchase compatible replacement SG studs to ensure you maintain proper grip and stability on the pitch.
Troubleshooting
Studs keep coming loose
Ensure they are tightened securely with a proper stud key before each session. If the thread is damaged, replace the individual stud.
Leather feels stiff after drying
Use a high-quality leather conditioner after cleaning to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kakari Elite boots, proper care is essential. Always remove excess mud after use with a soft brush and water—never machine wash, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather and adhesive bonds. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Since these are Soft Ground boots, ensure your studs are tightened before each match; if you notice excessive wear on the studs, replace them immediately to maintain traction and safety. These boots are intended for natural soft ground and should not be used on concrete or artificial turf to prevent premature wear and potential injury.
