The Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots are engineered to excel in soft ground conditions, making them an ideal choice for matches played on wet or muddy pitches. The soft ground outsole with its specific stud configuration ensures maximum grip and stability, allowing players to accelerate, change direction, and maintain balance effectively. The lightweight synthetic upper is designed for quick, agile movements, which is crucial for backs who need to outmaneuver opponents and mobile forwards who require explosive power from scrums and rucks. The secure lacing system and sockliner work together to provide a comfortable, locked-in fit, minimizing foot movement inside the boot and reducing the risk of blisters, allowing players to focus entirely on their game. These boots support confident movement, enabling players to perform at their best throughout the match.
Setup:
Lacing: Before your first use, ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. When putting on the boots, loosen the laces sufficiently, then tighten them evenly from the toe towards the ankle to achieve a snug, locked-in fit without being overly constrictive. Double-knot for security during play.
Compatibility:
Ground Type: These boots are designed exclusively for soft ground pitches. Their specialized outsole provides optimal traction on muddy or wet natural grass surfaces.
Player Type: Ideal for backs and mobile forwards due to their emphasis on speed, support, and agility.
Care:
Cleaning After Use: After each game or training session, remove excess mud and dirt from the boots using a brush or a damp cloth. Pay attention to the studs and the outsole.
Wipe Down: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to clean any remaining grime. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage the material.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack or warp.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or stuffing with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the studs for wear or damage, especially on soft ground boots. Worn studs can reduce traction and should be replaced if necessary. (Info needed: Specific stud replacement guidance not provided in original description)
