Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Rugby Boots are crafted to excel in the most physically demanding aspects of rugby, particularly for forwards. On soft ground, the outsole design provides aggressive traction, allowing for powerful drives in scrums and rucks without slippage. The durable synthetic upper and reinforced toe area are crucial for absorbing impacts and resisting abrasion, ensuring the boots stand up to frequent contact and challenging pitch conditions. This makes them ideal for players who are constantly involved in contact situations.
The EVA footbed is a key component for comfort and stability. During long training sessions or intense matches, this cushioning helps reduce foot fatigue, allowing forwards to maintain their power and posture. The lace-up design ensures that the boots mold snugly to the foot, providing a secure lockdown that minimizes internal movement during explosive movements like driving forward or changing direction in a maul. These boots are a reliable choice for match days and intensive forward-focused training sessions where durability and ground contact are paramount.
Using your Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Rugby Boots is straightforward. Simply lace them up ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The lace-up design allows for personalized tension across the foot.

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your rugby boots:
Clean After Each Use: After every match or training session, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Rinse (If Necessary): If extremely muddy, you can rinse the boots gently with water, but avoid saturating them.
Air Dry: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with heat sources (e.g., direct sunlight, radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
Stuff for Shape: You can stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape while drying.
Store Properly: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
