These Canterbury Speed Falcon Team Rugby Boots are engineered to unlock your full potential on soft or damp natural turf. Their ultralight construction makes them perfect for lightning-fast backs, especially wingers, who rely on acceleration and agile movements to break through defenses.
Explosive Acceleration: The lightweight synthetic upper and overall design minimize bulk, allowing you to reach top speed quickly.
Superior Traction: The TPU outsole, equipped with six metal studs and additional rhombus support studs, digs into soft ground, providing reliable grip for quick cuts, scrums, and powerful drives forward. This minimizes slippage, even in muddy conditions.
Precise Kicking: The asymmetrical lace system and integrated upper grip texture work together to give you a cleaner strike on the ball, enhancing accuracy for conversions, penalties, or tactical kicks.
Sustained Comfort: Targeted padding, ventilation in the moulded footbed, and an anti-slip microfibre lining ensure your feet remain comfortable and secure throughout the match, reducing fatigue during high-intensity play.
Match Days: Ideal for competitive games where performance on soft pitches is paramount.
High-Intensity Training: Perfect for drills focusing on speed, agility, and kicking technique on grass fields.
Keep in mind that these boots are specialized. Their performance is optimized for soft ground conditions, and their effectiveness will be significantly reduced on harder surfaces.
Lacing: Unlace the boots sufficiently to slide your foot in comfortably. Adjust the asymmetrical laces to achieve a tighter fit that feels like a 'second skin'. Ensure the laces are snug but not uncomfortably tight to allow for blood circulation. A secure fit minimizes foot movement within the boot, which can reduce energy loss and improve ball feel.
Ground Type: Specifically designed for soft or damp natural turf. Do NOT use on firm ground, artificial pitches, or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the boots and increase the risk of injury.
User: Adult male rugby players. This particular variant is UK size 10.5.
Optimal Positions: Ideal for backs, particularly wingers, who prioritize speed and agility.
Maintaining your Canterbury Speed Falcon Team boots will extend their lifespan and performance.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Stud Inspection: Regularly check the metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal traction and prevent injury.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain shape.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
Deep Cleaning: For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry as described above.
