Men's Screw-In Stud Soft Pitch Rugby Boots Impact R500 SG8 - Navy Blue/Beige

The Impact 500, a story of design

"The story behind the Impact 500 began three years ago. We wanted to offer regular rugby players a good, comfortable, hard-wearing boot that met the demands of their level of play. 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,” says Raphaël, a product engineer at Decathlon. We then used this 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. Players with high standards and a relevant approach to product development. The Impact 500 passed the user tests we set up with expert players competing at regional, national and pro level.

This pair is specially designed for pushing phases.

With its round, robust and hard-wearing forefoot, this boot offers optimum protection against any knocks. Additional inserts on the sides create a shield effect, further guaranteeing your safety. The rigid sole maintains solid support when pushing.

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.
