The Adidas Kakari SG Boots are engineered to give rugby forwards a competitive advantage on soft, natural grass pitches. Their lightweight construction means players can maintain high levels of agility and speed, whether breaking away from a ruck or charging through defensive lines. The internal support system is critical for maintaining stability during the immense pressures of scrums and lineouts, allowing forwards to anchor firmly and drive effectively. The eight-stud soft ground outsole bites deep into wet and muddy surfaces, providing the necessary traction for powerful drives, quick changes of direction, and secure footing during tackles and breakdowns. This combination of lightweight design, robust support, and specialized grip empowers forwards to perform at their peak, ensuring they can contribute both offensively and defensively across the 80 minutes.
Lacing: Thread laces through all eyelets and tighten evenly, starting from the toe, to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Double-knot for security.
Stud Check: Before each use, ensure all eight studs are securely tightened into the outsole. Replace any worn or damaged studs immediately.
Ground Type: These boots are strictly designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces. Using them on firm ground or artificial turf can damage the studs and the boot, and may lead to injury.
Player Position: Ideal for rugby forwards (props, hookers, locks, flankers, number 8) who require stability and powerful traction.
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in sealed bags for extended periods to prevent mildew.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly inspect studs for wear. Replace soft ground studs as needed to maintain optimal grip and safety.
