Extended Product Information

The Speed Falcon Team Boots are engineered for dynamic rugby play, particularly on soft ground where the metal studs provide crucial traction. The lightweight build allows for bursts of speed and agile movements, essential for backs and flankers. The asymmetric lacing is a key feature for kickers or anyone looking for improved ball contact, offering a cleaner striking zone. Breathability and comfort contribute to sustained performance throughout a match or training session. For real-world applications, imagine a winger making a break; the lightweight design and superior grip allow for quick acceleration and sharp directional changes to evade defenders. For a scrum-half, the asymmetric lacing can improve precision when kicking for territory. Even forwards will benefit from the stable base provided by the metal studs during scrums and rucks, helping them maintain their footing and drive powerfully. These boots excel in muddy or wet conditions typical of many rugby pitches.

Setup 1. Initial Fitting: Try on boots with rugby socks to ensure a snug, comfortable fit. There should be minimal heel slip and your toes should not touch the end. 2. Stud Check: Before first use, ensure all metal studs are securely tightened into the outsole. Hand-tighten if necessary. 3. Lacing: Utilize the asymmetric lacing system for optimal fit and ball contact. Start lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not too tightly to avoid pressure points. ### Compatibility These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. The metal studs provide optimal grip on natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or yielding. They are generally not recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs, the pitch, or cause instability. ### Care 1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. 2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry with direct heat, as this can damage materials. 3. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check studs for wear and tear. Replace worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain grip and safety. Ensure studs are always clean and securely tightened. 4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
