Men’s Screw-In Stud Soft Pitch Rugby Boots Impact R500 SG8

Our team of enthusiasts has designed these boots especially for props, locks and hookers.Do you play rugby two or three times a week on soft pitches? Then this hard-wearing boot, designed to support you during scrums, is just what you need.

The Impact 500, a story of design

“The story behind the Impact 500 began three years ago. It all started with the desire to offer regular players a high-quality boot that was comfortable, supportive and hard-wearing and that responded to the demands of playing at their level. Our design team joined forces with our ambassadors and rugby-playing Decathlon employees to make the boot a reality. After three years of work and more than ten prototypes, we are delighted to bring you this boot.

Your comfort is our priority.

In designing the Score 900, we based our work on one key area: your comfort. “We used a scanner to measure the feet of 700 rugby players, both children and adults, in the Lille area. We realised that rugby players have feet that are one size larger than the average in Europe,” said Raphaël, a product engineer at Offload. We then used this scientific research to design a boot offering maximum levels of comfort.”

It’s a boot designed with the pros.

We designed this boot in collaboration with rugby-playing colleagues and also with professional players competing in France’s Top 14. These players know what they want from a boot. The Impact 500 passed the user tests we set up with expert players competing at regional, national and pro level.”

Our team is proud to present you …

We’re incredibly proud to introduce this boot. Its innovative lacing system offers a fantastic level of support during scrums or when rapidly changing direction, while the reinforced heel stops the boot coming off when you’re pushing hard in the scrum

… a boot designed especially for the scrum.

With its padded, robust and hard-wearing front section, this is a boot that protects the front part of your foot. An additional inlay on the side of the boot creates a loop effect designed to offer the very best protection. And the rigid sole guarantees great support when scrummaging.

Versatility – compatibility

You can adapt the level of traction to make the boot suit the pitch conditions by using the Offload aluminium 11/13/15/18/21 mm screw-in studs sold at Decathlon.
The 10-13 mm rubber screw-in studs (product ref 8611521), which are designed for dry pitches, are also compatible with this boot model.
