Gilbert rugby boots are built for players who want straightforward, dependable boots that can handle the weekly grind. They are a strong option if your priority is getting the basics right, traction, fit, and durability, without overcomplicating the choice.
At Pro:Direct Rugby, the Gilbert range gives you two clear directions. Gilbert Icon is the more all-round option, a good fit for regular training and matchday use when you want something reliable underfoot. Gilbert Power moves further towards the contact side of the game, with a more supportive feel that suits heavier work and the sort of sessions where the pitch and the collisions both take their toll.
The first thing to decide is still surface. Soft ground Gilbert rugby boots are the right call for wet grass and muddy winter conditions, while firm ground pairs make more sense for drier natural grass and more regular week-to-week use. From there, it is about what you need from the boot. If you want a steady, do-it-all option, Icon makes sense. If your game involves more contact, more traffic, and more hard carries, Power is the stronger route.
Get the outsole right first, then choose the Gilbert boot that matches the way you play. Shop the latest Gilbert rugby boots at Pro:Direct Rugby.
