The adidas Kakari RS Soft Ground Rugby Boots are engineered for peak performance in challenging, soft ground conditions. Their specialist outsole and conical metal studs provide unparalleled grip, allowing forwards to maintain stability during scrums, rucks, and mauls. The multi-directional traction ensures you can confidently twist, turn, and explode out of tackles or chase down kicks without slipping. The reinforced Fusionskin leather upper, with its strategic reinforcements, offers crucial support when driving through contact, while the padded tongue protects your foot from the impact of stray boots or the ball. The flat lacing system creates a clean strike zone, which can be advantageous when making tactical kicks or controlling loose balls. These boots truly shine when the pitch is muddy, enabling players to leverage every ounce of their power and agility without compromise. For example, during a crucial scrum, the deep penetration of the studs keeps your stance firm, preventing slippage and allowing you to drive effectively. When breaking from a ruck, the multi-directional traction ensures rapid changes in direction, giving you an edge over opponents.
Lacing: Ensure the flat laces are tightened evenly across your foot. Start from the bottom eyelets and pull firmly, working your way up. A secure lacing provides maximum support and helps prevent slippage within the boot. The flat laces are designed to lie flush against the boot, optimizing your ball-striking surface.
Stud Check: Before each game or training session, check that all conical metal studs are securely fastened and clean. Loose studs can compromise grip and pose a safety risk.
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This means natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have significant give. The conical metal studs are engineered to penetrate soft turf deeply, providing superior traction. They are not recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as the metal studs can cause damage to the pitch and the boots, and will not provide optimal grip.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots thoroughly. Remove excess mud and debris using a brush or cloth. Wipe down the Fusionskin leather upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, a mild soap solution can be used.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the Fusionskin leather and synthetic materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect and replace worn or damaged studs. Keep a spare set of compatible conical metal studs on hand.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from extreme temperatures. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
Fusionskin Leather Care: Occasionally, you may want to use a leather conditioner or protector designed for athletic footwear to maintain the suppleness and longevity of the Fusionskin leather upper.
