Gilbert Sidestep Icon MSX Mini Children's Rugby Boots
The Sidestep Icon MSX Mini from Gilbert are designed for young mini-rugby players seeking durability and ease of use. The synthetic PU upper ensures durability and support, while the XJO MSX sole with moulded studs guarantees reliable grip on all training and match surfaces. The double velcro strap fastening allows quick and independent dressing, even for the youngest players.
The classic fit offers a good balance between comfort and foot support during play. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during sessions, while maintaining a supportive structure that protects the foot from lateral impacts. These boots accompany the first steps on the pitch, from toddler grass areas to the first rugby school competitions.
What size should I choose for a 7-year-old child?
Size depends on the child's foot, not age. Measure the foot in centimetres and add 0.5 cm for growth. Refer to the Gilbert size guide (available on the product sheet).
Are moulded studs suitable for synthetic pitches?
Yes, the MSX sole is approved for all surfaces (natural grass, synthetic, stabilised). It limits premature stud wear on hard ground.
Does the velcro fastening hold well during the match?
Yes, the two velcro straps ensure firm support. Check the tightness before each half to ensure proper foot locking.
Technical specifications
Care instructionsAfter each use, remove mud with warm water and a soft brush. Leave to dry at room temperature, never on a radiator (risk of PU deformation). Clean the velcro straps regularly to maintain adhesion. Store in a dry place, away from moisture. DesignThe synthetic PU of the upper combines lightness and resistance to friction — a technical choice suited to the intensity of young players' play, who put considerable stress on the lateral quarters during tackling and ruck phases. The XJO MSX sole, with its short moulded studs distributed across the surface, provides a wide bearing surface that promotes stability and reduces the risk of foot twisting on uneven ground. The double velcro strap fastening replaces traditional lacing: it eliminates the risk of laces coming undone during play and allows children to dress themselves, a key point for gaining independence during training. The supportive construction protects the foot without stiffening the ankle, preserving the freedom of movement necessary for motor development at this age. BrandGilbert has equipped rugby worldwide since 1823. The British brand is historically specialised in the oval ball and technical equipment for all levels of practice. The Sidestep Icon range, available from senior to mini-rugby, demonstrates this expertise: footwear solutions designed for each player profile, with technologies adapted to the specific biomechanical constraints of rugby (short accelerations, change of foot placement, repeated contact). The Mini MSX version concentrates these requirements in an accessible junior format, without compromise on construction quality. |
