What boots should I buy?

Question

i am looking for hard ground boots. Most of the descriptios i am reading say that they are for heavier players but this is not me.

I am a wing/fullback

Answer 1

spiffy ones

Answer 2

diadora's astroturf cleats work great on hard surfaces - they have small gummy studs.

if you're on wing you might not need the high ankles...

You will probably need another pair in a season or two because they do wear out, but give you the edge you are looking for.

Answer 3

Nike or Adidas

Answer 4

CCC(Cantebury) make good rugby boots, you need to go for a multi cleat design or blade style boot. This gives enhanced traction on hard surfaces. Some examples are in the links.

Ok I saw that you meant soft ground so you want long studded boots. The links takes you to sites that will give you details of differing boots on differing surfaces

Answer 5

My best tip would be to get a pair that fit or you could end up with blisters or even worse looking like coco the clown when you go on the pitch lol

Answer 6

I'm a forward, but my advice is pretty standard for any rugby player. Be sure to try the boots on before you buy them. Don't order them online... If you get a pair of boots that don't fit quite right, your destined for a season of foot and ankle pain.

Mizuno makes great boots. Stay away from Gilbert... their products aren't very long lasting.
