FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?
While designed with forwards in mind due to their focus on power and stability, players of any position can benefit from the traction and protection offered on soft ground.
How often should I replace the metal studs?
The frequency of stud replacement depends on usage and pitch conditions. Inspect studs regularly for wear and tear. Replace them when they appear visibly worn or their grip is diminished.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass pitches?
No, these boots are specifically designed for soft ground. Using them on artificial grass can damage the studs and the pitch, and may lead to discomfort or injury.

Wipe the Fusionskin upper with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the boots.
Do these boots come with a specific warranty?
Please refer to the retailer or adidas official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Are there other color options available for the Kakari RS SG?
Yes, the Kakari RS SG model is available in various colorways. Please check product listings for the specific colors currently offered.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Continue to wear the boots for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure laces are tied correctly – not too tight initially. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if professional stretching is needed.
Lack of traction on soft ground.
Ensure all eight metal studs are present and securely fastened. Check that the studs are appropriate for soft ground and are not worn down. Clean any mud or debris from the stud pattern.
Studs becoming loose or difficult to remove/insert.
Clean the stud threads and the boot's stud housing. Use a compatible stud key for removal and insertion. If threads are damaged, contact customer support.
Waterlogging or excessive dampness inside the boot.
Ensure boots are dried thoroughly after each use. Check for any damage to the upper or sole that might allow water ingress. Consider using waterproof socks for extra protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Stud Replacement: If needed, unscrew existing studs using a stud key. Screw in new compatible metal soft ground studs until secure. Ensure they are evenly tightened.
Initial Fit: Wear the boots around the house to begin the break-in process. Ensure the fit is snug but not uncomfortably tight.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches. They are not recommended for firm, artificial, or hard ground surfaces as this can cause discomfort and damage to the studs and boots.
Compatible with standard metal soft ground rugby studs.
Care:
Cleaning: After use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and condition. Ensure studs are clean before storage to prevent corrosion.
