FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass pitches?
No, these adidas Adizero RS15 Ultimate SG boots are specifically designed with a Soft Ground (SG) soleplate and removable metal studs for optimal performance on natural, soft, or muddy grass pitches. Using them on artificial grass (AG) can damage the pitch and the boots, and may void your warranty.
How do I clean my boots after a muddy game?
Wipe off excess mud immediately with a damp cloth or soft brush. For stubborn dirt, rinse gently with water. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in a washing machine. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I replace the metal studs?
Yes, the six metal studs on the soleplate are removable and replaceable. You can purchase replacement studs and a stud key separately. Regularly check and replace worn or missing studs to maintain optimal traction.
What is the benefit of asymmetrical lacing?
Asymmetrical lacing creates a larger, cleaner strike zone on the instep of the boot. This improves ball contact and can enhance kicking accuracy and control by providing a more consistent surface for striking the ball.
What does 'Made in part with recycled content' mean?
This indicates that a portion of the materials used in the construction of the boots are recycled. This is part of adidas' commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability in its products.
My boots feel very snug, is this normal?
Yes, the Adizero RS15 Ultimate is designed for a performance fit, which is typically snug to provide maximum control and direct feel. They may require a short break-in period to adapt to your foot shape. If they are uncomfortably tight, ensure you have the correct size.
Troubleshooting
Studs keep coming loose or falling out.
Ensure studs are tightened securely before each use with a stud key. Over time, threads can wear; consider replacing individual studs if they continue to loosen.
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
These are performance boots with a snug fit. Wear them for short periods during training to break them in. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and try thinner socks.
Poor traction on the pitch despite being SG boots.
Check the condition of your studs. Worn, blunt, or missing studs will reduce grip. Replace them if necessary. Also, confirm the pitch conditions truly warrant SG studs; if the ground is firm, SG boots will offer less grip.
Material appears creased or cracked after drying.
Avoid drying boots with direct heat sources (radiators, sunlight). Always air dry them naturally. Excessive heat can damage synthetic materials. Stuffing with newspaper helps maintain shape during drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your new boots, it's important to check that all six removable metal studs are securely tightened. Use a stud key (often sold separately) to ensure they are firm but not over-tightened. This prevents studs from falling out during play and provides immediate optimal traction.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This means they are ideal for wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces where the long, removable studs can penetrate the ground for maximum grip. Using them on artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG) surfaces is not recommended, as it can damage the studs, outsole, and potentially lead to discomfort or injury.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning After Each Use: After every match or training session, wipe down your boots with a damp cloth to remove excess mud and dirt. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic materials.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the tightness of your removable metal studs. Replace any worn, blunt, or missing studs to maintain optimal traction and prevent imbalances. Carry a stud key with your rugby gear.
- Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack or shrink. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew growth.
- Inspect for Wear: Periodically inspect the upper, outsole, and seams for any signs of wear or damage. Addressing minor issues early can prolong the lifespan of your boots.
