Picking rugby boots can be tough, no matter whether you are a wily veteran, a flash semi-pro or a budding youngster. So many issues go through your head: how durable are those boots; are they light and comfortable; are they good to kick with or push in the scrum in?

Well Rugby World hope that we can clear some of this up by reviewing some of the latest rugby boots to hit the market. We will do our best to assess and test boots and let you know their pros and cons, and let you know how comfortable, functional and stylish we think they are.

So if you are a fly-half looking to emulate All Blacks legend Dan Carter, or a No 8 trying to re-enact the best moves of Billy Vunipola, or even a prop who hopes to be a little like Tendai ‘The Beast’ Mtawarira, we hope to be the ones pointing you in the right direction.

Watch our videos. Read our ratings. Check out the verdict on each pair of rugby boots.
