Gilbert CAGE TORQ MSX rugby boots moulded studs dry ground

The Gilbert CAGE TORQ MSX is designed for back line players (centres, flankers) who regularly play on dry or synthetic 4G surfaces. Its design prioritizes three criteria: lightweight to avoid slowing acceleration, optimal grip thanks to its moulded TPU sole, and prolonged comfort via the memory foam insole that adapts to foot anatomy. If you're looking for a responsive boot in direction changes without sacrificing lateral support, this model meets those requirements.

The synthetic PU upper combines abrasion resistance (contact, studs) and contained weight. The MSX Vx sole, specific to hard grounds, multiplies short studs to maximize contact surface and reduce slipping in lateral supports. The high-density foam insole absorbs repeated shocks (tackles, jumps) while returning energy in your stride. Classic lace closure to adjust tension according to foot width.

What size should I choose if I'm between two sizes?

Take the half size up: the memory foam will compress slightly after a few sessions, it's better to keep half a centimetre space in front of your toes.

Are these studs suitable for synthetic surfaces?

Yes, the MSX Vx sole is approved for 4G synthetic surfaces and natural hard ground.

How to maintain the synthetic upper after a muddy match?

Remove dried mud with a soft brush, then clean with a damp cloth. Never dry near a direct heat source.

Care advice

Remove studs after each use to eliminate embedded soil and debris. Clean the PU upper with a damp sponge, without aggressive detergent that could damage the coating. Leave to air dry, never on a radiator (risk of TPU sole deformation). Remove and air the insole regularly to prevent odours. Store in original box to protect the boot from impact and maintain shape.

Design

Gilbert designed the CAGE TORQ MSX around three pillars: speed, stability, comfort. The synthetic PU upper reduces weight by 15% compared to traditional leather while offering equivalent tear resistance. The high-density memory foam insole hugs the arch from the first strides, limiting pressure points and discomfort at the end of the match. The MSX Vx sole multiplies short studs (8 mm) distributed in a grid pattern to maximize multidirectional grip: each directional change mobilizes more studs, reducing the risk of lateral slipping. The slightly raised heel favours short sprint propulsion. Traditional lace closure to adjust tension according to foot width, without quick-release systems that could fail under tackle stress. Sober black/white colorway, compatible with all club outfits.

Brand

Gilbert has equipped rugby worldwide since 1823, the year the brand was founded in Rugby (England). Historical specialist in rugby balls (official supplier of the Rugby World Cup), Gilbert extended its expertise to boots in the 1990s, targeting backs: soles studied for acceleration, lightweight uppers, fitted cuts. The CAGE range, launched in 2018, groups together models for players prioritizing speed and changes of pace. Each sole carries a suffix (MSX, SG, FG) indicating the optimal ground type, guaranteeing a choice suited to local playing conditions. Production in Asia under British quality control, with laboratory wear testing (50,000 simulated steps) and field validation by professional players before commercialization.
