The adidas Kakari Elite SG boots are specifically engineered for rugby forwards, providing the necessary tools to excel in their demanding roles. The ultralightweight upper allows players to react quickly and accelerate effectively, enabling them to burst through defensive lines. During crucial moments like scrums and rucks, the internal support system becomes invaluable, offering the stability needed to maintain a strong, powerful stance and prevent slippage.
The hardwearing eight-stud outsole is designed to dig into soft, natural surfaces, providing superior grip and preventing loss of traction, even in wet and muddy conditions. This ensures players can make powerful drives, change direction confidently, and maintain control when carrying the ball or contesting possession. The combination of a secure lace closure and a comfortable regular fit means less distraction and more focus on the game. These boots are built to withstand the rigors of rugby, offering a balance of protection and flexibility for peak performance.
Lace Up: Before each use, ensure the boots are laced securely and comfortably. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug fit without being overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
Stud Check: Verify that all eight studs are firmly in place and not excessively worn before playing. Replace any damaged or missing studs.
Surface: These boots are designed for Soft Ground (SG) and perform optimally on natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or soft. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG) or artificial turf (AG) as this can damage the studs and reduce grip.
Position: Ideal for forwards in rugby, where stability, traction, and power are paramount.
Fit: Features a regular fit for adult male players (UK size 9).
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and dirt by knocking the boots together. Use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water to clean the upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) which can cause the leather to crack or harden. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Conditioning (Leather Parts): For the premium leather sections, consider applying a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can help protect them from scuffs and scratches.
