Football boots vs Rugby boots

Depends what the grounds like there
Playing on rockhard pitch in long studs will ruin your feet, but playing in sloppy mud with moulded studs you'll be sliding everywhere

I always had a good pair of SG then the cheapest FG I could find for the when the grounds hard
However if it's hard most of the time it could be worth getting a good pair of FG

Where abouts in the forwards are you? I tend to see front row players wearing studs whatever the weather, god knows how many blisters they pick up




Lovell-Rugby ship worldwide - it's £10 which is fairly steep for shipping, but depending on what the pricing is like over there it could work out about equal

Just comeback from surveying the local stores turns out the only one available are Gilberts boots. I play for the front row, loose/tight prop. The weather here is humid so it rains and shine randomly so the best bet for me would be SG for now...

Just a random chip-in, I actually did the reverse for nearly my entire soccer career (used rugby boots to play soccer).

It was amazing that every referee missed my illegal metal studs. I have to say, the longer stud did drag in the ground when I kicked the ball, but I was very used to it, and the long studs really helped my running and quick moves.

But, this isn't a soccer board, I just wanted to post that I used rugby boots for soccer in this thread.

Hey fellow ruggers!! New to this forum and I am looking to get back into rugby again here real soon. Just got done playing some semi-pro football and I have the Under Armor Highlight cleats (Cam Newton cleats) and was wondering if these cleats could be used for rugby if I were to cut the toe spike off? Here is a pic as well of the bottoms so you can get a good look of what the spikes look like. Appreciate any feedback!
