How To Choose Your Rugby Boots South Africa’s successful World Cup campaign in 2007 was the culmination of 4 years of meticulous planning and dedication building up to the RWC final in Paris. Once the players ran onto the field, their choice of wearing the right boots, protection and performance enhancing under garments, was just as important in reaching the highest level of personal performance. Sports Horizons is proud to give you an outstanding choice of rugby products to aid in your performance. | |
> Questions to help you decide 1. What position will you be playing? 2. Will you play on soft or hard fields? 3. What do you weigh? 4. Do you have a wide or narrow foot? | |
New models from Adidas, Nike, Puma, Asics, Mizuno and Gilbert with the accent on more comfort, performance and style have hit our shelves. Each model has specific attributes to help you perform better. Finding the right balance between stud configuration, materials, ruggedness and your budget should be the main criteria of your decision. If you are a lock forward you should be looking for 8 studs, firm & strong mid-sole, secure heel support and a heavy upper shoe material. By contrast, if you’re a winger, look for a lightweight, multi-stud articulated mid-sole and other bells & whistles your favourite brand offers. Try a couple of different boots that feel good. With so many outstanding brands on the market, decisions based on what it looks like, who uses it and how many times you see it advertised won’t help you when you are out on the field. Find the one that works for you. However, brand loyalty and past success help your confidence, and that’s more important than nearly all other aspects. |
