[BD] RE: Boots and studs

[Vito]

   I may be wrong but could it possibly be that metal "cleats" are not
   allowed boots such as those used for baseball tend to have metal
   blades that can be rather sharp (I do believe baseball players wear
   special protection around their ankles for when playes slide onto
   base).

   As far as traditional "studs" go, i find that being trodden on with
   rugby boots hurts far more than football boots (with studs) because of
   the length of the actual studs and not because of they are metal or
   plastic.

   The answer is simple, use football boots with blades. Anyway Nick,
   with your boot size you don't have to worry about WL mud baths, you
   just float!
