The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team SG Rugby Boots are built for players whose game revolves around speed, agility, and precision on soft ground. The lightweight TPU upper dramatically reduces the boot's weight, allowing wingers and other backs to accelerate faster and maintain top speeds without feeling weighed down. When you're making a break down the touchline, every gram counts, and these boots deliver that advantage.
The tighter fit is a critical component, offering a 'second-skin' sensation. This isn't just about comfort; it's about minimizing the tiny movements of your foot inside the boot that can sap energy. For a winger, this means more power translated directly into explosive bursts of speed and sharper changes of direction. This close contact also enhances your feel for the ball, which is further supported by the asymmetrical lace system and upper grip texture. When kicking for touch, converting a try, or making a chip kick over the defense, the improved boot-to-ball contact significantly boosts your accuracy.
On a soft, muddy pitch, the soft ground soleplate with six metal studs and rhombus support studs provides uncompromising grip. You can push off with confidence, knowing your feet won't slip, whether you're sidestepping an opponent or making a crucial tackle. The moulded footbed with targeted padding and ventilation and the antislip microfibre lining work together to keep your feet comfortable and stable, preventing blisters and discomfort even in the most demanding moments of a match or training session.
Lacing: Utilize the asymmetrical lace system to achieve a snug, customized fit. Start lacing from the bottom, ensuring even tension across your foot. Double-knot for security during intense play.
Initial Wear: New boots may feel very tight due to their specialized fit. Wear them for short periods during non-contact training sessions to help them mold to your feet before a full match.
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. The metal studs provide optimal traction on natural grass fields that are damp or muddy. Do not use these boots on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) pitches, as this can damage the boots, the playing surface, and potentially cause injury.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after playing, knock off any excess mud. Use a stiff brush (like a boot brush) to remove caked-on dirt from the upper and soleplate. For persistent mud, use a damp cloth or sponge with a small amount of mild soap, then wipe clean.
Drying: Always air dry your boots at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check all metal studs before and after each game or training session. Ensure they are tightened securely to prevent loss. Replace any worn, blunt, or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury. Spare studs are usually available for purchase.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
