The latter has significantly grown in popularity because they are generally easier to maintain, and it takes away the variable factor of bad weather during game day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBecause of this, and the fact that rugby is also widely played during hot summer days, firm ground rugby boots make for a great investment. These variants are built with shorter studs that are usually molded permanently onto the footbed. Firm ground rugby boots typically have around 11 to 13 studs, allowing it to have better traction on hard surfaces and disperse pressure across the foot more evenly for comfort on hard grounds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThere are some instances wherein a player may want to invest in only one pair of cleats at a time. In this instance, we highly recommend getting firm ground boots as these can work perfectly fine on natural surfaces as well, making them the more practical and versatile choice all around. Some players even prefer them on soft surfaces, too, because of the speed and agility they provide either way. The big exception to this would be if you are a tight five forward where you should almost always be using studs given the traction demands of scrums.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe also carry them in a variety of sizes ranging from US size 2.5 all the way to US size 13.5.

Outsole:Â
TPU Resin Flat Outsole – Lightweight and responsive, built for quick acceleration and traction on firm, natural grass.
Offers flexibility and grip without the need for long studs
Upper:
Kangaroo Leather Forefoot – Ultra-soft, premium leather offers exceptional ball feel and molds naturally to the foot for a true barefoot experience
Re-engineered Eyelet System – Reduces creasing during flex and provides a better anatomical fit
Fit, Support & Comfort:
ZeroGlide Lite Sock Liner – Delivers a secure, locked-in feel inside the boot, minimizing foot slippage during high-speed movements

Condition leather with beeswax or leather balm
Check and replace studsÂ
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 wellÂ
