The adidas Adizero RS15 Elite boots are built to elevate your game on demanding soft ground conditions. On a muddy or wet rugby pitch, the soft ground soleplate digs in effectively, providing crucial traction for explosive sprints and quick changes of direction. This allows you to maintain balance during scrums, rucks, and tackles, and provides the necessary grip for powerful pushes.
The adaptive leather forefoot ensures that your foot can move naturally, facilitating agile footwork and bursts of acceleration, crucial for breaking through defensive lines or making quick passes. The asymmetrical lacing is a game-changer for kickers, offering a cleaner striking surface that can translate to improved accuracy and power in your kicks.
Players will notice the padded collar and heel foam significantly reduce discomfort during high-intensity play, allowing you to focus on the game rather than your feet. These boots are ideal for match days where control and grip are paramount, ensuring you stay on your feet and perform at your peak, even when conditions are challenging.
Lacing: Simply lace up the boots, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The asymmetrical lacing should be tightened evenly across your foot for optimal support and kicking accuracy.
Stud Check: Before each use, inspect all six removable metal studs and five moulded support studs to ensure they are securely fastened. Use a stud key (often sold separately) to tighten any loose studs.
These boots are designed exclusively for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches. This includes wet, muddy, or natural grass fields with longer blades.
Do NOT use on firm ground (FG), artificial turf (AG), or indoor (IC) surfaces. Using SG boots on incompatible surfaces can damage the soleplate, wear down the studs quickly, and significantly increase the risk of injury.
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, heaters) or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather and synthetic materials to crack or stiffen.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly clean and re-tighten the removable metal studs. If studs show significant wear or damage, replace them promptly to maintain optimal grip.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew and material degradation. Using a boot bag can help protect them.
