Best rugby boots 2023: Canterbury, Nike, Adidas and top UK brands for men

A long, attritional season of rugby will take its toll, especially if you are a tight-five forward who spends a lot of time digging your studs into the ground to try and generate some force. Premium boots, made with high-quality leather, tend to last longer but you should also need to take care of them. Don’t leave them caked in mud between matches, clean them by hand and apply a little leather cream.
