The Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team SG boots are engineered for players who need maximum stability and power in challenging soft-ground conditions, particularly rugby forwards.
The eight 18mm metal studs provide an unyielding bite into the turf, allowing props and hookers to anchor their position firmly in the scrum. This exceptional grip prevents slippage, enabling you to apply maximum force and maintain stability against the opposition.
Locks and back-row forwards will benefit from the stiff FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole, which ensures efficient power transfer. This means more of your energy goes directly into your drive, helping you break through tackles, gain meters, and make powerful carries without feeling a loss of energy.
Despite their robust nature, the design aims to minimize energy loss. This efficiency helps players maintain stamina for critical 'lung-busting recovery runs' late in the game, allowing you to track back or support attacks even when fatigue sets in.
These boots excel on soft, muddy, or wet natural grass pitches. The long metal studs are designed to penetrate deep, providing traction where shorter studs would struggle. For firm ground or artificial turf, different boot types would be more appropriate.
Check Studs: Before first use, ensure all eight 18mm metal studs are securely tightened. Use a stud wrench if necessary. Loose studs can compromise grip and safety.
Break-In Period: Wear the boots for a few short sessions (e.g., training or light runs) before a full match to allow them to mold to your feet and prevent discomfort.
Playing Surface: Exclusively designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or natural grass. Not recommended for firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG).
Player Position: Ideal for forwards (props, hookers, locks, flankers, number 8) who require maximum traction and stability for scrummaging, rucking, mauling, and powerful carries.
Gender/Age: Designed for adult males, as per the product attributes.
Clean After Each Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess mud and debris. Use a stiff brush and water to clean the upper and outsole. Do not use harsh detergents.
Inspect Studs: Regularly check all metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace worn studs promptly and tighten any loose ones.
Dry Naturally: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp kit bags, as this can lead to odor and material degradation.
Conditioning: If the upper material is leather (Info needed: [exact upper material]), consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
