FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?
Yes, the design with a secure fit and enhanced kicking area benefits most positions. However, players prioritizing extreme lightness for pure speed might consider other models, while those needing maximum stability for intense forward play may find them very suitable.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and air drying.
Can I replace the studs with metal ones?
These boots come with removable studs designed for soft ground. While it's possible to fit other compatible metal studs, always ensure they are designed for soft ground and meet rugby regulations to avoid damaging the boot or compromising safety.
What is the main advantage of the asymmetrical lacing?
The asymmetrical lacing system shifts the laces away from the ball striking area, creating a larger, cleaner surface for kicking. This can lead to improved accuracy and power when striking the ball.
How often should I replace the studs?
Stud replacement frequency depends on playing surface, frequency of use, and wear patterns. Visually inspect studs regularly; replace them when they appear significantly worn down or if grip is noticeably compromised.
Are these boots specifically designed for women?
Yes, the RS15 Rise W boots feature a fit specifically engineered to accommodate the anatomical differences of female players, aiming to provide superior comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.
Wear the boots for short periods during non-playing activities to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly and not overtightened, especially around the midfoot.
Lack of grip on wet pitches.
Ensure you are using the correct type and length of studs for the conditions. Clean any mud from the stud plate. Consider using longer studs if available for the SG configuration.
Difficulty with the asymmetrical lacing system.
Experiment with different lacing tensions to find what works best. Focus on securing the foot first, then adjust the upper part of the lacing for kicking comfort.
Water ingress or boots feeling heavy when wet.
While the synthetic upper offers some water resistance, prolonged exposure to very wet conditions can lead to absorption. Ensure boots are thoroughly dried after each use to prevent material degradation and maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
- Stud Replacement: If desired, remove existing studs using a stud key and replace them with the appropriate length and type for your pitch conditions. Ensure new studs are securely tightened.
- Lacing Adjustment: Lace the boots evenly, ensuring the asymmetrical system feels comfortable and provides the desired lockdown. Adjust tightness based on personal preference and playing needs.
Compatibility:
- These boots are designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches. They are compatible with standard rugby studs.
- They are not recommended for firm ground or artificial turf, as the stud configuration may lead to discomfort or reduced performance on such surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can help maintain their condition.
- Stud Maintenance: Periodically check studs for wear and tear and replace them as needed. Clean the stud holes to ensure easy removal and insertion.
