The adidas RS15 Elite SG Rugby Boots are engineered for peak performance in competitive rugby environments on natural soft ground. Their design directly supports the demands of fast-paced play, enabling players to react swiftly and execute precise movements.
Explosive Acceleration: The combination of the lightweight construction and the specialized soft ground plate allows players to burst out of tackles or off the mark with minimal energy loss, thanks to optimal grip and propulsion.
Pinpoint Kicking: The off-centre lacing significantly widens the kicking sweet spot, giving fly-halves and kickers a larger, cleaner surface for ball contact. This translates to improved accuracy and power on conversions, penalties, and tactical kicks.
Agility in Traffic: Strategically placed metal studs provide multi-directional traction, crucial for quick changes of direction, side-steps, and maintaining balance in rucks and mauls. This ensures players can pivot and accelerate effectively in tight spaces.
Comfort for 80 Minutes: The padded collar and foam in the heel work together to absorb impact and reduce pressure points, allowing players to maintain focus and comfort throughout the entire match, even during prolonged periods of running and impact.
Secure Ball Handling: The adaptive leather forefoot offers a close, responsive feel for the ball, assisting in pick-ups, quick passes, and secure carries in contact situations.
Initial Fit: When you first try on the boots, wear the type of rugby socks you typically use. Ensure a snug, comfortable fit without excessive pressure points. The leather forefoot will adapt slightly with wear.
Lacing: Utilize the full lace-up design to secure your foot firmly. The off-centre lacing allows for a custom tight fit, ensuring your foot is locked in for maximum power and precision.
Break-in Period: Like most leather boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few light training sessions before a full match to allow the leather to mold to your foot's unique shape.
Ground Type: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. They are ideal for natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have loose soil. Do not use them on firm ground, artificial turf, or hard surfaces, as this can damage the boots and increase the risk of injury.
Age Group: These boots are designed for adult players.
Gender: Suitable for both male and unisex use (depending on variant).
Post-Match Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots promptly. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and mud from the upper and soleplate.
Upper Care: For the leather and synthetic upper, wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild boot cleaner specifically designed for sports footwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Stud Care: Pay special attention to the metal studs. Clean off any mud or debris. Dry them thoroughly to prevent rust. If studs appear loose or damaged, they should be addressed immediately.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not force dry them using direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hair dryers) as this can crack and damage the leather and synthetic materials.
Storage: Store your boots in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
