The Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak boots are engineered for the specific demands of forward play in rugby. The combination of eight 18mm metal studs and additional support studs ensures unwavering traction on soft and muddy pitches, allowing props and locks to maintain their footing and drive effectively in the scrum. The FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole is a game-changer for forwards, facilitating maximum power transfer during explosive movements like driving through rucks, mauls, and tackles, and minimizing energy loss, which can be critical for making those crucial recovery runs late in the game.
For tight-five players, the midfoot reinforcement and moulded heel provide essential stability and a secure fit, reducing the risk of injury from lateral movements and enhancing confidence during physical confrontations. The wide toe box contributes to comfort over a full 80 minutes, preventing discomfort or cramping often associated with narrower boots.
These boots are your go-to choice when pitch conditions are challenging and require maximum grip and power. They are designed to help you overpower the opposition at the breakdown and secure possession, ensuring you can make a significant impact throughout the match.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely from bottom to top. Experiment with lacing patterns to find the fit that best supports your foot without causing pressure points.
Breaking In: Wear the boots for short periods initially, such as during light training sessions or walks. This allows the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape, preventing blisters during intense play. Avoid wearing brand new boots in a full match immediately.
Stud Check: Before each use, ensure all eight 18mm metal studs are securely tightened. Loose studs can affect grip and potentially cause injury.
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. The 18mm metal studs are optimized for penetration and grip on wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces.
They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial ground (AG), or hard ground (HG), as the long metal studs can cause discomfort, damage the pitch, and wear down prematurely.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots immediately. Remove excess mud with a stiff brush or blunt tool. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check studs for wear, damage, or loosening. Replace worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal performance and safety. Replacement studs are widely available.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can crack or damage the materials. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
Inspection: Periodically inspect your boots for signs of wear and tear, such as stitching coming undone, sole separation, or material degradation.
