For the Forwards:
For this position, durability and support is crucial. These boot options offer a robust build with reinforced studs, ideal for props, hookers and locks who demand exceptional support and stability in the tight confines of scrums and rucks.
For the Backs:
ADIDAS Adizero RS15 Pro SG are worn by Scotland player Finn Russell. These are for the players who are in need of lightweight boots for superspeed movement throughout the field. These light rugby boots boast a thin, synthetic upper and strategically placed studs for explosive acceleration and agility. Ideal for wingers, fullbacks and centres who find themselves weaving through defenders and sparking attacks.
Although considered for the football pitch they have shown to be effective for rugby players. The Nike Mercurial boots are renowned for their lightweight construction and speed enhancing features. This series could favour those particularly of attacking backs like wingers and fullbacks.
For Versatility
If you’re on for playing multiple positions or play in various conditions, these are rugby boots to consider. The Gilbert rugby boots offer a versatile stud design, consisting of 6 and 8 stud configuration for optimal traction on both soft and firm ground. The Canterbury rugby boots are equally a strong contender, combining a durable build with a versatile stud configuration also.
Beyond the Picks
Remember, there are other factors to consider when choosing the perfect rugby boots despite brand and design:- Playing Surface: When playing in muddier pitches, best to wear soft ground (SG) specified boots with longer studs and firm ground (FG) with shorter studs for drier terrain. Most of our rugby boots at Greaves offer both variations.
- Fit is Crucial: Ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. Your feet should feel secure with some wiggle room for your toes.
- Try Before you Buy: If you’re feeling hesitant on ordering a pair online, visit our sports store in Glasgow city centre to try on different pairs to find what boots suit you best.
