These Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team SG boots are engineered for the specific demands of rugby forwards. In the scrum, the eight 18mm metal studs bite firmly into soft turf, providing the crucial traction needed to hold your position and drive forward effectively. This robust grip also translates to dominance in rucks and mauls, allowing you to maintain your footing and exert maximum force.
The FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole is a key performance feature, ensuring that the power generated from your legs is efficiently transferred into the ground, aiding in powerful drives and explosive movements without excessive energy loss. This means you can maintain high intensity through multiple phases of play and even make lung-busting recovery runs late in the game with less fatigue.
The durable synthetic upper and reinforced toe area are designed to withstand the constant abrasions and impacts inherent in forward play, from close-quarter battling to tackling. The moulded heel and wide toe box accommodate a powerful foot shape, providing comfort and stability during high-impact situations. Whether you're a prop anchoring the scrum or a lock driving through tackles, these boots provide the necessary foundation for power and stability on wet, muddy, natural grass pitches.
Lacing: Utilize the conventional lace-up design to achieve a snug and secure fit. Start from the bottom eyelets and work your way up, ensuring even tension. Double-knot the laces to prevent them from coming undone during play.
Initial Wear: It's advisable to wear the boots for short periods before a match to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. This can help prevent discomfort during intense activity.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground conditions, meaning natural grass surfaces that are wet and muddy. The 18mm metal studs are optimized for maximum penetration and grip in these environments.
Avoid Firm Ground: Using these boots on firm ground or artificial pitches can lead to reduced performance, accelerated stud wear, and potential discomfort or injury.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the tightness of the 18mm metal studs. Loose studs can compromise grip and may be lost. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal performance and safety.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
