Ranked by price, cheapest first, using RRP until live retailer prices connect. Tap any column heading to re-rank. Every spec is taken from a named source and human-verified. Blanks mean nobody states it, and boots without a figure sort last. Photographs arrive with our retailer feeds. Entries tagged as a football boot are football models widely worn for rugby; their makers do not certify them for rugby, and each page explains what that means. Ratings are third-party aggregates from the source named on each boot page, shown with the number of people behind them; anything under 10 ratings is displayed but not ranked on.
What metal studs are for
Metal studs, usually aluminium, cut into soft wet ground where moulded studs slide. That is why they are standard for UK club rugby between October and March. Two things to know: World Rugby caps any stud at 21mm and bans burring and sharp edges, and most artificial pitches ban metal outright, so check your ground before you buy.
