Rugby boots take a hard season and are grown out of fast, so a well-kept second-hand pair often has plenty left for the next player. On KISH, rugby and football boots share one list, so you'll see both here, with preloved pairs alongside new ones with tags. The listing title gives the model, and the condition grade tells you whether a pair is new or used. Every listing is checked by a person before it goes live, so you can judge the studs, upper and sole from photographs of the pair itself.
Studs and surface
Check the studs for the surface your child plays on: moulded studs suit most firm and artificial pitches, while screw-in studs are for softer, natural ground. On the mostly-firm and artificial surfaces common in Dubai, a clean moulded sole is usually what you want — and it's easy to see the stud condition in a listing's photos.
What to check on a used pair
Start with the studs, then the heel cup, the insole and the sole. The checks are the same as for a football boot, and our guide to buying second-hand boots goes through each one.
Sizing for a growing player
Boots that pinch get quietly tolerated by kids, so confirm the fit before you buy — our guide to measuring your child's feet at home helps. Every KISH listing shows the EU size and a clear condition grade, and is covered by buyer protection.

Common questions
What stud type should I look for?
Moulded studs suit most firm and artificial pitches; screw-in studs are for soft, natural ground. Each listing's photos show the sole and stud condition so you can match it to where your child plays.
Why are football boots showing here?
Rugby and football boots share one list on KISH, so you'll see both. Check the listing title for the model, and ask your club what studs it allows.
Are the boots checked before listing?
A person checks each listing's photographs and described condition before it goes live, and sends it back if they don't match. It's a check of the listing, not a physical inspection of the pair.
What sizes are available?
From junior through to youth and adult sizes, covering the range older kids and teens wear. Each listing shows the EU size.
Can I sell outgrown rugby boots?
Yes. Listing is free and sellers keep 100% of the item price. Add a few photos, set a price, and a person checks the listing before it goes live.
