hey
i just started playing on the wing and i need some new boots. Could anyone recommend any boots for playing as a back. is it better for me to get football boots instead of rugby boots.
 
It depends whether you want something very light for out and out speed, bearing in mind that you won't get as much protection, or whether you want something a little more durable.

Adidas f50's and Nike Mercurial Vapors seem a popular choice amongst top wingers who are simply looking for as little weight as possible. An alternative I would recommend is a pair of Nike Air Legends, which are very comfortable and afford a little more padding and protection for the the foot.

At the end of the day though boots are a very personal choice. You just have to find something that's right for you and you feel comfortable playing in.
 
i want a pair of light ones for speed.
i will have a look at the ones you recommended and see from there.
thnks for the help.
 
Some Puma football boots are what I use when playing in the backs, when playing forwards I use Gilbert Rugby boots.
