Which Gilbert rugby boot is right for me - backs or forwards?

Gilbert design different boot models for different playing positions. Lighter, low-cut boots like the Icon Players 6 Stud suit backs who need speed, agility and quick direction changes. Heavier-duty models with 8 studs are better suited to forwards who need stability in the scrum and at the breakdown. If you're unsure, our team is happy to advise - contact us or check the individual product descriptions for position guidance.

Are Gilbert rugby boots the same as Gilbert rugby cleats?

Yes - rugby boots and rugby cleats are the same thing. "Cleats" is the term commonly used in the US, Australia and other markets, while "boots" is the standard term in the UK. All Gilbert rugby boots/cleats are interchangeable in meaning and available to buy at Rugbystuff.com with fast UK and international delivery.

What studs do Gilbert rugby boots come with?

Gilbert rugby boots are available with either moulded studs (fixed TPU studs permanently attached to the sole, ideal for firm and artificial pitches) or screw-in metal studs (replaceable aluminium or steel studs suited to soft and muddy ground). The stud configuration varies by model - check the individual product listing for stud type. World Rugby regulations require studs to have no sharp edges and conform to approved dimensions.

Can I buy replacement studs for Gilbert rugby boots?

Yes - if your Gilbert boots have screw-in studs, replacement studs are available separately. Gilbert produce replacement stud packs in various lengths (typically 15mm, 18mm and 21mm) to suit different ground conditions. Make sure to match the thread size and stud fitting to your boot model. 6 Stud models will usually be the Prolite Stud. 8 Stud models the Pro Tip or standard studs.

Are Gilbert rugby boots suitable for 3G and 4G artificial pitches?

Gilbert rugby boots with moulded studs are generally suitable for 3G and 4G artificial grass pitches - they provide grip without the aggressive penetration of metal studs. If you're regularly playing on artificial turf, opt for a moulded stud model. Screw-in metal studs are better reserved for natural grass, particularly in wet or soft conditions. Always check with your facility, as some 3G/4G pitches have their own requirements.

Does Rugbystuff.com ship Gilbert rugby boots internationally?
