*All sizes are US Men's

Studs: Molded

    Care:

    • 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 bags work well

    Nice but not for long

    "Very nice quality. They look good, they’re comfortable but my son came home in day 4 of practice and the cleat panel was separating from the leather at the side of his big toe. Nooooo!! Shame because they were comfy and wide and seemed durable but now we have to look for something new. 😞"

    Q&A

    Is this in men’s or women’s sizing?
    Men's sizing. Our size chart should show the conversion to Women's sizing.
    Is there a difference between this cleat and the cleat with the same style number for soccer? Is there something about the design of this cleat that makes it specific for rugby, or can this cleat also be used for playing soccer? Thanks.
    This is the same shoe so it can be used for both soccer or rugby!
