Gilbert added a new boot to their rugby range for the 2011/12 season and the Kryten V1 SG Rugby Boot, the first available colour-way was Black/Yellow. The Kryten becomes the ninth name in the Gilbert range and although some of the older names such as Synergie, Venom and Vortex are not available anymore they are great names from the past.
Made with a microfibre upper, for comfort and durability, the new contoured last provides an improved fit, whilst the Kryten V1's features a rigid midfoot with full length PU lasting for flexibility and support. The heel has a thermoplastic moulding and a preformed 4mm anatomical footbed.
The eight stud sole of the Kryten is designed for use on soft ground, with the studs strategically positioned for enhanced weight distribution and traction. Gilbert have used off centre lacing, for an improved feel and fit of the boot.
