Mizuno Waitangi Pro (Wide) Soft Ground Rugby Boots
The Mizuno Waitangi Pro Wide soft ground rugby boots are built for front rowers and tight five players who need maximum traction and genuine width. Designed for soft winter grounds across New Zealand, they suit senior club, school First XV and representative level rugby. If you struggle to find rugby boots that fit a wider foot properly, this model is one of the most reliable options available.
This boot uses a premium synthetic leather upper that holds its shape in wet conditions. It provides solid midfoot support in scrums and contact, while remaining comfortable over 80 minutes. The material handles mud and heavy pitches well, which matters during long winter seasons.
The wide-fit gives real forefoot room rather than just extra stretch. That reduces pressure across the ball of the foot and helps prevent numbness during scrums and mauls. For players who normally size up just to gain width, this boot often allows you to stay true to size.
Underfoot, the TPU outsole delivers strong heel stability with controlled flex through the forefoot. That combination helps you drive low in contact while still moving naturally around the park. The 6 x 2 removable metal stud configuration provides serious grip on soft and cut up fields, giving you confidence when binding, pushing and changing direction in the mud.
The Black & Galaxy Silver colourway keeps things traditional and sharp, ideal for players who prefer a classic look on match day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these boots on firm ground?
They are designed for soft ground. On hard summer fields, metal studs can feel unstable and are not recommended.
Who are these boots best suited to?
They are ideal for forwards who need strong traction in scrums and close contact. Backs playing on heavy winter grounds can also benefit from the grip.
Do the studs come removable?
Yes. The 6 x 2 metal studs are removable, so you can replace worn studs during the season.
How do they compare to standard width rugby boots?
The wide fit provides noticeably more room through the forefoot. Players who find regular width boots tight will feel the difference immediately.
