The Baltimore brand at a discount.
From Baltimore to Rugby Fields
Under Armour was founded in 1996 in Baltimore, Maryland, by Kevin Plank, a former college athlete from Maryland. Tired of cotton t-shirts soaked in sweat, he developed a synthetic fibre undershirt that wicks away sweat and fits close to the body. This compression garment built the brand's reputation, which then expanded to include the entire athlete's outfit, down to the shoes. Its studded shoes carry on this quest for a snug fit and fast-drying materials, two valuable qualities on the soaked pitches of winter.

Wales Partner from 2008 to 2020
In rugby, Under Armour became known as the technical partner of the Welsh federation from 2008, providing the kits for the Wales team. The collaboration ended in 2020 when the federation handed its jerseys to a new supplier. These twelve years coincided with a successful period for the Welsh, winners of the Six Nations Championship with Grand Slams in 2012 and 2019. For the American brand, this partnership served as a showcase in Europe and supported the development of its gear for contact sports.
Screwed, Moulded or AG: Which Sole for Which Pitch
A sole with screwed studs, marked SG, is ideal for wet and deep grass pitches: metal or aluminium studs dig into the ground and ensure grip during pushes. A sole with moulded studs, marked FG, is suitable for dry or slightly damp pitches, featuring more points of contact to distribute pressure. On synthetic grass, an AG sole with short, numerous studs limits foot locking and preserves the surface. Many club players own two pairs to cover the entire year, from the August preseason to January matches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shoe size should I choose for Under Armour?
The brand follows a sizing chart close to European standards. You measure your foot in the evening, standing, wearing match socks, and you note the size that leaves about half a centimetre in front of the longest toe.
Do studded shoes suit every position?
Yes, but the model differs: forwards look for stability and heel support for pushing, while backs seek lightness and flexibility for acceleration. A versatile player chooses a compromise with a shaft sturdy enough for contact.
How to dry wet studded shoes?
You remove the insoles, fill the shoe with absorbent paper that you change every few hours, and leave it in a well-ventilated room. Direct heat from a radiator can detach the insoles and stiffen the shaft.
Do you need high-top shoes to protect the ankle?
A high shaft limits certain twisting movements and reassures forwards, often caught in scrums and rucks. It does not replace muscle strengthening after a sprain, and a low cut remains freer for running.
When should you change your studded shoes?
When the sole cracks, the shaft detaches, or the heel no longer holds the foot, the pair no longer provides proper protection. Worn-out studs can be replaced, but a deformed sole indicates the end of the shoe.
