Earn every inch. Hold your ground. Built for the contact game.
Rugby is decided at the point of contact — in the scrum, at the breakdown, in the tackle. Your footwear is your foundation. The Prevolve SG Metal cleat is built for the physical demands of the game on natural grass, where grip under pressure is everything.

Why SG Metal for Rugby?
Rugby is one of the few field sports where footwear choice is genuinely position-dependent. Soft ground metal studs are the standard for forwards — the longer, more widely spaced metal studs penetrate deeper into natural grass and soft terrain, providing the grip needed to anchor against opposing force in the scrum, maintain footing in the ruck, and drive through contact without slipping. For tight five forwards especially, grip in compromised positions is the single most important cleat performance variable.
Metal studs also hold their edge and depth through a full match on soft or wet turf — where molded rubber studs can lose penetration depth and become less effective as conditions deteriorate. The longer stud length (15mm or 17mm available) allows for selection based on field conditions and position.
Custom fit transforms the physics of the scrum. In a contest involving hundreds of kilograms of force transmission through your feet, stud placement under your specific bone structure rather than an average foot template means cleaner power transfer and more effective ground engagement from every position on the field.
Custom Cleat Plate
Fully custom, 3D printed, TPU cleat plate.
Playing Surface: soft ground, natural grass — wet, muddy, or soft playing conditions.
Stud Type: metal, removable. Aggressive toe studs for push-off and sharp lateral changes. Cleat plate teeth for added traction in compromised positions.
Stud length: 13-14mm molded base, 15mm or 17mm metal studs available — specify in the customization form.
Stud placement: based on foot scans and photos, matched to your exact bone structure.
Plate stiffness: determined by weight and foot strength level. Higher plate edge for improved lateral stability and protection during pile-ups.

Toe Spacers
Custom Toe Spacers are 3D printed specific to your toe dimensions and curvature. Made of soft TPU foam for extreme durability and comfort. A full set weighs about six grams. Keep your toes wide and alive with minimal bulk or weight. Spacers come in three different sizes so you can find the perfect setup for your toe splay, sock thickness and footwear. Learn more about Toe Spacers in our blog post covering the topic.

Metpads
Modular Foam Metpads are easily interchangeable with our TPU foam insoles. They are designed to improve the posture of your foot, encouraging activation of the transverse arch which helps relieve pressure on joints and increase toe engagement. The Metpads come in five different levels to allow for progressive training of the arch. Check out our blog post explaining everything about Metatarsal pads and why you need them.
