What type of rugby boots should I buy?
Rugby is a sport that has developed into something that not only requires skill and strength, but also needs speed. The most important equipment needed by rugby players, and of course the most expensive is rugby boots. Players need good stability and support when it comes to their footwear, so selecting a good pair is imperative. Rugby players wear boots for enhanced comfort, power and protection during a game. A typical rugby match requires constant kicking and running, and wearing boots that can withstand these strains are imperative.
Rugby boots are very similar to soccer boots, except they have a high cut design for extra ankle support and protection and a larger physical dimension. They usually have deep toe boxes to help protect toes and detachable or moulded soles for traction on different types of surfaces. To help stabilize the heels, the boot heel is covered with reinforced cups.
Rugby boots can be characterised based on what type of material their uppers are made of. Leather rugby boots have uppers made of pure leather. Kangaroo leather is known for its softness, and is very exclusive, and has high quality. These boots are preferred by the most committed and best players. They are able to stretch and mould to the shape of the feet of the owner. Calf-skin leather is more durable than Kangaroo leather, and provides comfort.
For those who cannot afford real leather, there are alternatives – with synthetic rugby boots. These have uppers that are made of synthetic materials, and are lighter and cheaper than leather rugby boots. They offer excellent protection even in extreme weather conditions, and are hardwearing rugby boots. They are extremely durable because they are resistant to moisture and are recommended for entry-level players.
Rugby boots can also be characterised based on what type of soles are available. Moulded rugby boots have soles with permanent or moulded studs. These are usually used on hard natural grounds, and are ideal for slippery surfaces providing enough traction to prevent slipping and other accidents. Rubber studded moulded rugby boots are intended to be used on dry ground and surfaces, and are ideal for beginners and occasional players.
Screw-in rugby boots are those with soles with removable and interchangeable studs. These are usually light weight and used on softer grounds. Back players usually use rugby boots with six cleats, while forward players have eight cleats. These shoes also have replaceable cleats that are quick and easy to change.
