# Mizuno Morelia Neo Rugby Boots ## Why Players Choose the Morelia Neo The Morelia Neo has a reputation that crosses codes. Originally a football boot, [Mizuno](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/mizuno-rugby-boots "Mizuno Rugby Boots") developed it into one of the most well-regarded options in rugby - particularly among players who want elite-level touch and feel rather than a [rugby boot](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/all-rugby-boots "rugby boots") built purely for power. The kangaroo leather upper is the defining feature - it's soft and tactile out of the box, and it continues to mould to the foot over time, improving fit with wear. It's a boot that tends to develop a following among players who've tried it once and don't go back. ## Morelia Neo Outsole Options - SI, Mix and MD The Morelia Neo IV is available in three outsole configurations, each suited to different ground conditions. The [SI (soft ground)](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/soft-ground-rugby-boots "soft ground rugby boots") version uses screw-in metal studs in an [8-stud layout](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/8-stud-rugby-boots "8 stud rugby boots") - the standard choice for UK winter rugby on natural grass. The metal studs provide maximum grip in wet and soft conditions and are replaceable as they wear down. The Mix outsole combines screw-in and moulded studs in a [6-stud configuration](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/6-stud-rugby-boots "6 stud rugby boots") - a versatile option suited to players who cover a range of surfaces or conditions across the season. Popular with backs, back-row forwards, and hookers who want the Morelia's feel with a more adaptable grip. The [MD (moulded)](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/firm-ground-rugby-boots "firm ground rugby boots") outsole uses moulded TPU studs and is better suited to firmer natural pitches and 3G artificial surfaces. The lower price point makes it a practical choice for training use or for players who play predominantly on harder ground. ## What Positions is the Morelia Neo Best For? The Morelia Neo works across most positions but has a particular following among backs, hookers, and back-row forwards. For backs, the lightweight construction and exceptional touch make it a genuine alternative to the [adidas RS15](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/adidas-rs-15-rugby-boots "adidas RS15") for players who prefer a leather upper. For hookers and back-row forwards, the Mix or SI versions provide the stud configuration needed for contact work while retaining the feel and agility the Morelia is known for. It's not the boot for props and locks who need maximum stability and a wide fit - that's the Waitangi's job. ## Morelia Neo Sale and Previous Generations We regularly carry sale stock on Morelia Neo variants, including older colourways and previous generation models at reduced prices. ## Products in this collection -
