Gilbert Speedster 6S rugby boots blue men lightweight

The Gilbert Speedster 6S rugby boots are designed for backs, wingers and centres seeking an elite model focused on lightness and reactivity. The low canvas upper facilitates rapid weight transfers and keeps the foot secure without adding weight to the stride. The Speedplate HYB sole with 6 hybrid studs delivers optimal grip on soft and mixed ground, ideal for sprint phases, accelerations and support runs.

This model stands out through its balance between stability and dynamism: the hybrid stud configuration allows pivoting without locking while ensuring sufficient traction in straight lines. The synthetic lining and insole provide immediate comfort from first use, while the TPU outsole resists the intense demands of modern rugby.

What's the difference with 8-stud models?

The 6 hybrid studs prioritise speed and weight transfers, while 8 studs provide more stability in scrums and static phases.

Are these boots suitable for dry ground?

They are optimised for soft and mixed ground. On very dry soil, a model with short moulded studs will be more suitable.

Is the canvas upper durable?

Yes, the canvas used offers good durability while remaining lightweight. Regular maintenance (cleaning after matches) extends the lifespan.

Care advice

Remove mud from under the studs and on the upper after each use. Clean with lukewarm water and a soft brush, without aggressive detergent. Leave to air dry, away from any direct heat source. Regularly check the condition of the studs and tighten the laces before each match to ensure optimal support.

Design

The choice of canvas for the upper serves a specific purpose: reduce weight without sacrificing durability. This material, combined with a TPU outsole, provides improved reactivity while maintaining sufficient structure to withstand violent impact. The Speedplate HYB sole combines the grip of classic screw-in studs and the fluidity of moulded studs: the 6 hybrid points penetrate deep into soft ground while allowing rapid rotations without locking. The low upper frees the ankle to increase stride amplitude, a decisive advantage for players exploiting space and support play.
