Outsole Details:
SP-PRO SG 8-Stud Outsole: eight replaceable metal studs arranged for optimal grip and power transfer in scrums and tight contact areas
Provides excellent traction and stability in soft, muddy conditions
Upper Details:
K-PRO Premium Leather Vamp: durable, flexible leather upper that molds to your foot for a custom fit and lasting comfort
Mesh Windows: integrated into the upper for breathability and reduced weight
Fit, Support & Comfort:
Knitted Collar: offers a snug, sock-like fit around the ankle for enhanced lockdown
Engineered Lace System: ensures even pressure across the foot for a secure, comfortable fit
Superior Heel Fit: reinforced heel structure reduces slippage and improves control during intense movement
Performance Benefits:
Power & Stability: engineered to provide forwards with the grip and lockdown needed to drive in scrums and maintain balance in contact.
Durability for Heavy Contact: premium leather and reinforced areas withstand the rigors of forward play.
Soft Ground Specialist: optimized for superior traction and confidence on wet, soft pitches
Knock off loose mud to remove dirt from uppers and studs
Wipe down with a damp cloth using cool water (not hot water)
Stuff boots with newspaper or paper towels to retain shape and absorb moisture—excess moisture can weaken seams and cause the uppers to separate from the soleplate.
Condition leather with beeswax or leather balm
Check and replace studs
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
