# Kids Rugby Boots & Junior Rugby Boots

## What Size Kids Rugby Boots Do You Stock?

Getting the size right is essential. A boot that's too tight causes blisters and black toenails before the season is half done. Too big and the foot moves around inside the boot, which causes just as much rubbing - and in a sport that demands sharp changes of direction, cutting and contact, a loose fit actively works against you.  
  
We stock junior [rugby boots](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/all-rugby-boots "rugby boots") from UK infant size 13 through to UK kids size 5, covering the full range of mini and junior rugby age groups. When trying them on, you're looking for roughly half a thumbnail's worth of space at the toe - enough room to move without the foot sliding forward. Width-wise they should feel snug and supportive without pressure on the sides or excess material bunching around the forefoot. If in doubt between two sizes, go up rather than down and allow room for a rugby sock.

## Do Kids' Rugby Boots Have Metal Studs?

Most junior players in the UK use a [six-stud metal screw-in boot](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/6-stud-rugby-boots "6 Stud Rugby boots"). Natural grass pitches dominate junior rugby in this country and [soft ground](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/soft-ground-rugby-boots "soft ground rugby boots") conditions apply for most of the season, so metal studs are the standard choice - they give the best grip where it counts. [Firm ground moulded boots](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/firm-ground-rugby-boots "Firm Ground Rugby Boots") are perfectly acceptable and some players use them, particularly on harder pitches or artificial surfaces, but SG is the more common setup at club level.  
Metal studs are permitted at all age groups in by World Rugby. There's no age restriction - it's a surface decision, not a safety rule.

## Can Kids Wear Football Boots for Rugby?

Yes - football boots are permitted in rugby at all levels, including junior and mini rugby. Many parents buy football boots for their child's first season rather than rugby-specific boots, and there's nothing wrong with that. The practical difference is that football boots typically use a bladed or moulded outsole which works fine on most junior rugby pitches.  
As players get older and start playing on heavier adult pitches, a dedicated rugby boot with a six-stud configuration becomes more beneficial. But for a child just starting out, existing football boots will do the job.

## Kids Rugby Boots by Brand

### adidas Junior Rugby Boots

[adidas](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/adidas-rugby-boots "adidas rugby boots") produce one junior rugby boot — the adidas Rugby Junior. It's a straightforward synthetic boot with a six-stud outsole, built for junior players without the performance technology of the adult [RS15 range](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/adidas-rs-15-rugby-boots "RS15 Rugby Boots"). It does share the same seasonal colourways as the adult boots, so if your child wants to match the look of the pro range without the price tag, it does that job well.

### Canterbury Junior Rugby Boots

[Canterbury](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/canterbury-rugby-boots "Canterbury Rugby Boots") produce two junior boots - the [Stampede](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/canterbury-stampede-rugby-boots "Canterbury Stampede Rugby Boots") Junior and the [Speed](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/canterbury-speed-rugby-boots "Canterbury Speed Rugby Boots") Junior. Both are straightforward six-stud synthetic boots without the performance technology of the adult ranges, but they share the same seasonal colourways as the adult Stampede and Speed. The Stampede Junior runs slightly wider than the Speed Junior, making it the better fit for young forwards or players with broader feet. Both are widely used at school and club level across the UK.

### Oxen Junior Rugby Boots

[Oxen's](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/oxen-rugby-boots "Oxen Rugby Boots") Meta X 6 Stud SG Youth Rugby Boot is worth a serious look if you're buying for a junior player who wants more than a basic synthetic boot. Available in cool colours, it carries the same Metasock technology through from the adult range - a PU upper for structure and protection combined with an integrated Lycra metasock that wraps the foot in a close, adaptive fit. Most kids' boots are straightforward synthetic shells. The Meta X gives junior players the dual-layer construction of a performance boot - stable enough to drive and hold ground in contact, without restricting natural movement through the foot and ankle. A genuine step up from the standard junior options.

### Boys and Girls Junior Rugby Boots

Junior rugby boots are unisex in construction - there are no boys-specific or girls-specific junior rugby boots. All junior boots are sized on the standard UK scale and work equally well regardless of gender.
