Puma Avant II H8 Rugby Boots Screw-in Studs Black
The Puma Avant II H8 SG is designed for pack players regularly playing on soft or waterlogged pitches. Props, hookers, second and third row forwards will find the grip and robustness needed to face the most violent set-piece phases. The mid-cut protects the ankle without restricting the joint, the single-piece synthetic upper eliminates rupture points, and the metal screw-in studs guarantee flawless grip when the ground becomes slippery.
Construction prioritizes durability: no exposed stitching on the upper, internal padding targeted on malleoli and heel to absorb repeated impacts, textile lining evacuating moisture during exertion. The stud plate distributes pressure to maintain stability in pushing, essential during tight scrums and engaged rucks. The traditional lace closure allows progressive and personalized tightening, the white Puma formstrip provides additional lateral support while visually defining the model.
Why choose screw-in studs for rugby?
Superior grip on soft ground, optimal stability in scrums, ability to replace worn studs to extend boot lifespan.
Does the mid-cut hinder mobility?
No, it protects the ankle without blocking the joint. Designed for props and second row forwards, it offers security and freedom of movement.
Are these boots suitable for dry pitches?
No, metal screw-in studs are reserved for soft ground. On dry or synthetic surfaces, favour moulded studs to prevent injury and discomfort.
Technical Specifications
Care InstructionsClean the synthetic upper with lukewarm water and mild soap after each outing on soft ground. Dry at room temperature, never near a direct heat source which would weaken materials. Regularly check the tightness of screw-in studs, retighten if necessary to prevent loss or plate deformation. Replace worn studs as soon as length reduces by half to maintain grip and safety. Store in a dry place, never in a damp sealed bag promoting mould and odours. DesignThe single-piece synthetic upper eliminates external stitching, traditional weak points torn during scrum friction. This construction reinforces model longevity against mechanical stress endured by forwards. Internal padding precisely targets malleoli, heel and instep, absorbing repeated impacts during frontal strikes and violent pushes. The textile lining evacuates perspiration to maintain comfort throughout the 80 minutes, the 100% synthetic outsole resists continuous abrasion from studs and ground. The stud plate distributes pressure across the entire foot, guaranteeing stability and balance in pushing, decisive for holding position in tight scrums. The integration of recycled materials (minimum 20%) demonstrates environmental commitment without compromise on the robustness required by elite rugby. BrandPuma has equipped global rugby since the 1970s, supplying clubs and national teams seeking reliability and performance. The Avant range specifically targets pack players: props, hookers, second and third row forwards facing shoves, scrums and frontal tackles. The H8 SG version integrates optimized metal screw-in studs for soft ground, guaranteeing maximum grip when conditions deteriorate. The white lateral formstrip, brand signature, structurally reinforces the boot while asserting its identity. Puma combines rugby heritage and material innovation, offering forwards proven technical equipment on the most demanding pitches. |
