-- Posted by Anonymous at 11:29 am on Aug. 29, 2008 I have 2 pairs of boots from when I used to play Rugby 2 years ago, a size 9 pair of very stylish Adidas boots, and a size 11 pair of very ugly "Lotto" boots. The lotto boots are poor quality and I only bought them because they were £10. I'm usually a size 9 or 10. It changes with different shoes. I put on the Adidas boots, and although the right boot fits quite well, albeit a little tight around the big toe. The left boot is, I wouldn't say very, but tight around the toes. I never wore the boots much, and I don't want to go and have to buy new boots now, because I'm really stuck for cash at the minute. But the lotto boots are too big and are really crap to play in, and the Adidas boots are just a tiny bit too tight... Should I just stick it out with the Adidas boots and hope they loosen up a bit, because they might yet. I never used them much. -- Posted by moonkin at 11:31 am on Aug. 29, 2008 If they are too tight I wouldn't recommend playing ruggers in them as running around is annoying and sometimes painful -- Posted by Brawler at 11:47 am on Aug. 29, 2008 loosen the strings alot down near the foot of the boot. assuming they have strings... -- Posted by EarthEmpire at 6:07 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 I'd stick to the Adidas. I have the Adidas rugby cleats too and they do loosen up a bit after you wear them on a wet field or something.
