With the onset of Rugby and with the grounds being as firm as they are this provides a great opportunity for players to use the current ASICS Lethal Rugby Boot.

(Gadde et al). "Cinical Journal of Sports Medicine" Vol 14, No.2 March 2004 identified that only lack of ankle dorsiflexion measured in the lunge test weightbearing position was significantly associated with lower limb injury for their group of 148 Australian Football players. It is this and similar running shoe research that makes the small raise (positive pitch) in the back of the ASICS lethal such an important innovation.

Despite what we now know about the importance of retaining a positive pitch in sports shoes, it is still concerning the number of rugby boots that are on the market that don't do this.

Fortunately some do - such as the ASICS Lethal.
