Extended Product Information

The Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots are crafted to enhance your performance on soft pitches. The lightweight synthetic upper allows for swift, agile movements, crucial for backs making breaks or mobile forwards linking play. The secure lacing system and locked-in fit mean your foot stays stable, giving you confidence when accelerating, cutting, or bracing for contact. On wet or muddy fields, the soft ground outsole truly shines, providing superior traction and grip, preventing slips and allowing you to maintain control during scrums, rucks, and tackles. The comfortable sockliner ensures that comfort doesn't wane even in the late stages of a match, letting you focus on the game.

Setup: Getting Started To prepare your Canterbury Speed Team boots for play: 1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. Pull firmly and evenly to create a snug, secure fit around your foot, then tie a double knot to prevent loosening during play. 2. Break-in Period: Like all new sports footwear, these boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions before a full match to allow them to conform to your foot shape. ## Compatibility: For Soft Ground The Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots are specifically designed for soft ground pitches, which typically feature wet or muddy natural grass. They are ideal for: - Player Positions: Backs (scrum-halves, fly-halves, centres, wings, fullbacks) and mobile forwards (flankers, number eights) who prioritize speed, agility, and reliable traction for quick changes of direction. - Pitch Conditions: Best suited for soft, wet, or muddy natural grass fields. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial turf, or dry pitches, where the long studs can feel uncomfortable and offer reduced grip or cause premature wear. ## Care: Extending Your Boots' Life To maintain performance and durability: 1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and debris from the upper and sole using a brush. Wipe the synthetic upper and sole with a damp cloth. 2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. 3. Studs: Regularly check that studs are clean and securely tightened. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal grip (if using removable studs). 4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag that allows for ventilation.
