Hi!
I just started playing rugby and need some boots to play in. I have a pair of football boots and Im not sure if I can play rugby in them. Is there a difference between rugby and football boots?

Thanks!
If they are moulded plastic studs you won't be allowed to use them. If they're moulded rubber then you will, but you'll probably want to get some with decent studs for muddy pitches.
Yeah, moulded plastic are illegal (not many of those though)...this is because its easy for them to become razor blade like and slash people open.
Normal moulded boots, the rubber ones are 100% fine.
Agreed. But in this country, at this time of year, on our muddy water logged pitches, they are utter shite.Normal moulded boots, the rubber ones are 100% fine.

I use football boots, but that's because i need a light boot and coz i'm a freaking "show-pony" winger. But that's just the words of the forwards who are jealous of our glory! :P
what kind of football boots do you have?
when you say 'football' do you mean American football, or soccer??
I mean "soccer" when i say "football"
These are the boots I have:
And i've got these light ones to train and practice kicking with:
I wear these with 21mm studs in the back and 19s in the front when its wet:
and these in the dry:
Nomis are the best boots ever! The next pair you buy has to be nomis...you're really missing out on something special if you've never atleast tried a pair on...they're absolutly wonderful boots!
I used to have a pair of the Black Pearl Nomis boots.
Wihtout a doubt some of the most comfortable boots i have ever worn.
But i'm a fan of my current Nike boots, a little more.
I have a pair of silver something or others that cost me a tenner
best boots i have ever bought.
its all in the colour methinks
A silver pair of something or others?
I love it!
I have a pair of orange Nike Mercurial Vapors, and they are absolutely fantastic. Snap-in metal studs, so no getting pulled up by refs for thatHowever, and this is just my personal case, mind you, they are just a tiny bit too narrow for my feet (I have rather wide feet, you see), so I'm just waiting for ProDirectSoccer.com to get a pair of Nike Tiempo Ronaldinho boots in a size 10.5 in, and then I'll start wearing those.
The Vapors are extremely light, though, so if you're a player with pace to burn, and narrow enough feet, go for those

they are awesome, light, comfy, and pretty decent length studs so i don't fall on my ass when i try and step past people
well i dont even know if Miki (the person who started this post) is even still here, so sorry man but we need some input before we can help, all soccer cleats are legal for rugby that im aware of. personally, i swear by the Adidas Copa's. best boot ever made. if nothing else, just get a boot with kangaroo leather uppers in my opinion. i just ordered a pair of World Cup's, which is just a version of the Copa with 6 removable studs instead of 8 molded ones, and i doubt i will ever change..

Sure they are marked for "football" but they are also an excellent rugby shoe, if not the best one out there, the soft kangaroo leather combined with the amazing glove like comfort make them simply the best.

Also, I think the Nike Air Legends are on the verge of being discontinued, to be replaced by the Nike Tiempo Ronaldinho.
A-ha touche, my boy!Nike Mercurial Vapor II SG, actually

lol buy in bulk. Yeah, im just gunna go and start buyin my boots in bulk...ill only order 100 pairs for $20000
Nike T90 something, but Im gonna go buy some proper rugby boots this weekend, because my coach said that I should get proper Rugby boots.well I really meant miki but the other answers are cool too. so miki what kind of boots do you have?
[/b]
it depends if you're a back or a forward. There are a lot of backs getting along with the nike total 90s, they're nicer and good for kicking. The difference between them really comes down to style. I think your coach just doesn't like fancy backs.
Nicer?There are a lot of backs getting along with the nike total 90s, they're nicer and good for kicking.

It's got a big "90" on the side of the boot that makes me think: buck-toothed-brazillian-with-long-hair and Rooney.
I like to disassociate myself with a football image as much as possible....even if i do have a cracking pair of footy boots.
heres the thing the legends are slick and i dont want to wear some faggot boot that has f***in "ronaldinho" on it, who the f*** do nike think they are
oh well looks like ill just go for the new kang leather puma v 1.06 me and twinkle toes shane
Good idea...i've heard Puma are really good in terms of comfort and performance, plus, they look great.
