Are rugby boots the same as football boots?
I know that soccer players wear slender, brightly colored football boots with plastic studs. I have paid for enough of them over the years but now my son plays rugby. It's hot, sweaty and that's only watching. And did I mention it's on at an ungodly hour on a Friday morning? I understand nothing about it but I have noticed that lots of the other kids have different kinds of boots. A few wear those brightly colored ones, but most seem bigger, bulkier, heavier and they clink on the ground so I am assuming the studs are metal. Can anyone clarify? Are these other boots required? Are they bigger and bulkier for a reason?And are metal studs safe? What if someone stood on someone's face? And what about these black padded things a minority of the boys wear? Are they important? Is it not too hot for them? Any insight would be appreciated.
