These Adidas Kakari SG boots are engineered specifically for rugby forwards who demand both explosive mobility and unwavering stability in critical game moments. The lightweight synthetic upper allows you to accelerate and change direction quickly, making you a threat with ball in hand or when chasing kicks. The internal support system is paramount for absorbing impacts and maintaining a strong base during scrums, rucks, and mauls, providing the confidence needed to dominate contact situations.
On soft ground pitches, the eight-stud outsole truly comes into its own, providing aggressive traction that helps prevent slipping, ensuring you can drive through tackles and maintain your footing during powerful surges. This design is ideal for wet and muddy conditions where grip is paramount. Whether you're pushing in the scrum, carrying hard into contact, or competing for a turnover, these boots are designed to support the dynamic and powerful requirements of forward play. Remember to select the correct stud length for varying pitch conditions to maximize performance and safety.
Lace-Up Closure: Ensure boots are laced firmly but comfortably. Start lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly on each section, then double-knot at the top to prevent untying during play.
Stud Check: Before initial use and each game, ensure all eight studs are securely tightened. This prevents loss and optimizes traction.
Pitch Type: These boots are designed exclusively for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or provide a lot of give. Using them on firm ground (FG) or artificial turf (AG) can lead to stud damage, premature wear, and potential injury.
Player Position: Primarily intended for forwards (props, hookers, locks, flankers, number 8) who require stability and powerful traction in scrums and breakdowns. While some backs might use them, their design prioritizes the needs of the tight five and loose forwards.
Post-Match Cleaning: Immediately after each use, remove excess mud and debris from the upper and outsole using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly clean mud from around the studs and check for any wear or damage. Replace worn studs promptly.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or tumble dry your rugby boots as this can damage materials and adhesives.
