Nike Tiempo Legend 10

Since 1994, the Tiempo has been the go-to for players who need more room to move—and it’s easy to see why. With its wide-foot-friendly fit and timeless design the Tiempo stands in a league of its own.

Unlike Nike’s Mercurial Vapor and Superfly models, which are tighter than a defensive line on the five-metre, the Tiempo opens up the game for players with wider feet.

Its roomy toe box and FlyTouch Plus leather upper—a cutting-edge blend of natural leather and synthetics—deliver game-ready comfort from the first whistle.

The standout feature?

Nike’s patented ‘Anti-Clog’ technology. Say goodbye to mud-packed boots slowing you down; this adaptive polymer soleplate keeps you light on your feet, even in the wettest conditions.

Whether you’re sidestepping defenders or chasing the try line, the Tiempo’s innovative design will have you running rings around the opposition.

If you’re after a boot that performs under pressure, the Tiempo Legend 10 is ready to put in a shift.

Mizuno Morelia Neo IV

Designed with the Japanese foot in mind, which tends to be broader and flatter than the average European foot, the Morelia Neo IV sets a new standard for accommodating rugby players with wider feet and takes K-leather craftsmanship to the next level.

The premium Kangaroo leather upper molds to your foot like a second skin, offering that iconic ‘barefoot feel’ that connects you to every step, kick, and tackle.

The 2024/25 update with the launch of the ‘Mizuno Frontier Pack’ includes an expanded toe box volume, making it a dream for wide-footed players. The lightweight 8-stud outsole ensures stability and traction, whether you’re driving into the ruck or ghosting through the defense.

With its classic looks and modern features, the Mizuno Morelia Neo IV is the perfect partner for backs and agile forwards who demand more from their boots.

adidas RS15 Pro

For the 2024/25 season, adidas has delivered once again with the RS15 Pro from the Afterburner Collection, combining the best elements of last year’s Predator Malice and RS7 Adizero into one dynamic boot.

Constructed with adidas’ ‘Fusionskin’ synthetic leather, the RS15 Pro is engineered to adapt to all foot shapes, but it truly shines for players with wider feet.

The unique off-centered lacing and standalone tongue design allow for greater adjustability, making it easier to achieve a personalised fit.

The wide striking surface, reinforced with foam sense pods, turns this boot into a sharpshooter’s dream. Precision kicks? No problem. Meanwhile, the molded stability wings at the heel provide rock-solid support, perfect for scrummaging or high-speed changes in direction.

For a boot that looks as good as it performs, look no further than the RS15 Pro.

Canterbury Stampede Elite

When it comes to power and presence, the Stampede Elite is a prop’s best mate. Canterbury has gone all out to ensure this boot delivers the comfort and stability needed to dominate the tight five.

Driven by real player feedback, this iteration of the Stampede Elite is designed with a wider toe box for maximum comfort and an anatomical heel support that prevents blisters and rubbing, so you can stay locked in and focused on every tackle, scrum, and sprint.

With 8 x 18mm studs and the innovative Flightbeam 2.0 outsole, the Stampede Elite delivers exceptional traction and stability in the most intense scrums, rucks, and mauls, empowering you to dig deep, drive forward, and control every play.

Its all-new two-part soleplate—crafted from 92% bio-based materials—adds just the right amount of stiffness, boosting power transfer to make every step count. And with lightweight Heel Lock technology, you gain reinforced stability and energy return, helping you take charge of the game with precision, power, and unstoppable confidence.

Canterbury Speed Infinite Elite

Built for speed and engineered for those who need room to move, the Speed Infinite Elite from Canterbury brings an innovative edge to the backline.

Dubbed as “Canterbury’s lightest rugby boot yet”, the Speed Infinite Elite sheds unnecessary weight thansk to a next-gen, AI-engineered VAPOSKIN membrane and ultra-light monomesh upper that places it at 25% lighter than its predecessor on the scales.

Designed to fit like a glove while comfortably accommodating wider feet, it balances a secure fit with impressive flexibility.

Powered by second-generation FLIGHTBEAM technology and a Pebax soleplate, this boot transforms every step into explosive energy, propelling you down the field with ease. A knitted collar with zonal padding ensures stability at key contact points, giving you confidence and control even at full throttle.

Whether you’re scorching down the wing or slotting in from fullback, the Speed Infinite Elite is built for the modern game.
