I've got a Cantebury pair very similar to these http://www.canterburyofnz.com/sports/ethos-iii-club-6-stud-rugby-boot.html.
Wen't ok for the first half/two thirds of the year, then had a bout of pretty debilitating knee pain 60 minutes into a 70 min juniors match (and solieus tightness - though no where near as bad as the knee pain). Iced, neurofin and ultrasound for the rest of the weekend (my mum works for a physio and got given an old machine and training). Saw a physio who strapped the knee with kinesio tape, which helped the tightness, but no real result in the pain on game day. Changed strapping design to hard tape which helped, but did not remove.
Longer story short, saw a podi, made me a custom set of orthotics to fit the boots (as I roll in). No probelms so far (touch wood). Still strapping for support while I build up the muscles around the knee during matches, but ok with general fitness training. If you want/need more info, just ask.
