FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?
While designed with kicking in mind, the secure fit and support make them suitable for various positions, especially for players who frequently kick the ball.
How do I know if my pitch is 'soft ground'?
Soft ground pitches are typically wet, muddy, and offer less resistance underfoot. If the ground is firm, dry, or artificial, these boots are not ideal.
Can the studs be removed and replaced?
Yes, the studs are removable and replaceable, allowing you to maintain optimal traction and adapt to different ground conditions.
What is the benefit of the asymmetrical lacing system?
It creates a larger, unobstructed surface area for kicking, improving accuracy and power transfer when striking the ball.
How do I clean the synthetic upper?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What is the primary advantage for female players?
These boots were developed specifically to meet the requirements of female players, focusing on fit, support, and performance tailored to their needs.
Do these boots offer good arch support?
Yes, they feature a moulded sockliner designed to provide integrated support in the arch area.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with your usual sports socks around the house to break them in. The moulded sockliner and synthetic upper will mold to your foot over time.
Lack of traction on wet grass
Check that the studs are fully tightened and appropriate for the ground conditions. Ensure the studs are clean and free from mud or debris. Consider using longer replacement studs if the pitch is particularly soft.
Lacing system feels awkward
Experiment with different lacing tensions to find what works best for your foot shape and kicking style. The asymmetrical design is intended to provide a clean striking surface; allow time to adapt to this feature.
Soles or studs separating
This may indicate a manufacturing defect. Inspect the boots for damage and contact the retailer or manufacturer if within the warranty period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Stud Replacement: Before first use, ensure studs are securely fitted. If replacing studs, use the provided tool to tighten them firmly. For soft ground, use longer studs; for slightly firmer ground, shorter studs may be appropriate.
Compatibility:
- These boots are designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, typically wet grass.
- They are not recommended for firm, hard, or artificial surfaces, as this can lead to discomfort, reduced performance, and potential damage to the studs and outsole.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the boots in water.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
- Stud Maintenance: Clean studs regularly and check for wear. Replace any worn or damaged studs to maintain optimal traction.
