As a result, there can be a high degree of variability with field conditions depending on the weather, region, or general maintenance of the pitch.

No matter the weather or field conditions, though, many positions in rugby still require significant traction to play especially in the pack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis is where soft rugby boots come into play. These variants are built with longer studs that are usually made of metal, allowing them to penetrate the ground much deeper than a firm ground moulded stud which provides much better grip. Soft ground boots typically have either six or eight long studs designed for maxim traction and ability to pierce deeply into the turf. All positions can benefit from these in bad weather or on muddy fields, but they are essential for pack players to do their jobs come scrum and maul time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBecause of the extra hold they have on the surface, these ensure that players are much safer, without sacrificing their speed, traction, and overall quality of performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","published_at":"2020-04-15T10:22:03-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Prod Sub Type: Soft Ground"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":316921151585,"handle":"summer-of-savings","title":"Summer of Savings","updated_at":"2025-08-22T06:12:43-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2024-06-10T09:50:24-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Summerofsavings"},{"column":"variant_compare_at_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":298981949537,"handle":"winter-blowout-sale-2023","title":"Winter Blowout Sale 2023","updated_at":"2025-08-22T06:12:43-05:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2023-01-31T18:58:15-06:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Footwear"},{"column":"variant_compare_at_price","relation":"greater_than","condition":"0"}],"published_scope":"global"}]

Let the boots air dry (avoid heat sources) for 24-48 hours
Store boots in a dry, ventilated environment to prevent mold or mildew - ventilated boot bagswork well
