As regards doing stuff outside the law, they'll be covered in muck and stained a dark colour after the first match in the rain you play so I wouldn't worry about that.

I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of those asics warno, they look really comfortable. I might also keep an eye out for a cheap pair of last seasons timarus - out of curiosity. There seems to be very few size 12's for sale in last season model. i am a cheapskate. I am down training/coaching/playing matchs 5-6 days a week so its always good to have a few pairs of boots, so one pair is always dry.

I loaned them to a guy one night and he went out and bought a pair the next day. FYI, for those people who are interested, there is a guy in champions sports in Liffey Valley who has a stall set up for embroidering names etc onto boots, jerseys etc. Costs €20.. which is much more expensive then getting it done when you buy your boots on-line @ lovell etc but still not too bad (sorry If this was mentioned already).
boredatwork82 wrote: » No, In my opinion and a few other guys on the team the Flanker IV boots are awful uncomfortable. I had the extra wide pair, they weren't too wide so that would rule them out. My physio reckons mizuno are the best if you need to put in orthodics. Been wearing my Asics Warno now for a few months. Without a shadow of a doubt the most comfortable boot ever. 2 of the lads have since bought them and agree that they are the most comfy boot, and very light as well. Pity about them been white though.
Carlitos wrote: » really like the sound of the warnos but they're too dear for my pocket. you get what you pay for though so i was worried about the adidas flankers at £49.99 ill have a search for the warnos online unless elverys have them i cant really try them with the insoles though which is risky. Edit: Ive found Asics Scrums for 49.99 they seem to be pretty similar to warnos

I don't find them heavy at all, but then Im about 15st, so wouldnt notice it. Would definitely recommend them. Im an 11.5 in rugby boots. I doubt you will get much better than £50 for those boots, as they are quite expensive...
