The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team boots are built for players whose game relies on pace and quick changes of direction, making them ideal for backs and wingers. The lightweight synthetic upper ensures that nothing holds you back as you accelerate, while the tighter, locked-in fit translates more of your power directly into forward motion. On soft or damp pitches, the TPU outsole with its six metal and rhombus support studs provides aggressive grip, allowing you to cut, pivot, and sprint without fear of slipping. For kickers, the asymmetrical lace system and upper grip texture offer a cleaner strike zone and improved ball contact, enhancing accuracy. During high-intensity periods, the moulded footbed with targeted padding and ventilation, combined with the anti-slip microfibre lining, works to keep your feet comfortable and secure, reducing fatigue and preventing blisters. These boots allow you to 'glide through the opposition defense' with confidence and control.
Setup:
Lacing: Utilize the asymmetrical lace system to achieve a customized and secure fit. Start lacing from the bottom eyelets, ensuring even tension as you move upwards. Double-knot for security during play.
Break-In: Like all new boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions before competitive matches to mold them to your feet.
Compatibility:
Ground Type: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG), which includes natural grass pitches that are soft, wet, or damp. They are not recommended for firm ground (FG) or artificial turf (AG) as the metal studs can cause injury, damage the pitch, or wear down prematurely.
Sport: Optimized for rugby.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove excess dirt. For stubborn mud, a soft brush can be used. The white color will show dirt more easily, so prompt cleaning is advised.
Studs: Regularly check the metal studs for wear or damage. Replace any worn or broken studs to maintain optimal traction and safety.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can help protect them during transport.
