Mizuno Morelia Neo Beta Elite SI Screw Studs Rugby Boots

Technical Specifications

Care Tips

Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth after each outing. Regularly apply a nourishing balm to preserve flexibility and water resistance. Dry at room temperature, never on a radiator. Check stud tightness before each match and replace worn tips.

Design

Mizuno combines two philosophies here: traditional craftsmanship of full-grain tanned leather and Japanese textile innovation. Kangaroo leather, finer and more durable than bovine leather, molds to the foot without tedious break-in. The BareFoot KNIT NEO inserts (metatarsal zone) and MESH NEO (heel) work on two levels: firm support where loading demands it, breathable flexibility elsewhere. The new asymmetric lacing shifts tensions toward the foot's outer edge, freeing the striking zone and reducing pressure points during lateral contacts. The screw sole enables stud replacement — 15 mm aluminum on very muddy terrain, 18 mm steel on compact heavy ground — adapting the boot to conditions without changing pairs.

Brand

Founded in 1906 in Osaka, Mizuno built its reputation on artisanal rigor and obsessive attention to detail. The Morelia range embodies this dual identity: each pair is hand-assembled at the brand's historic workshop, guaranteeing finish quality and durability that mass industrialization cannot match. Mizuno remains one of the few equipment makers offering genuine kangaroo leather across its entire premium line, refusing compromise in favor of pure performance.
