The Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team Rugby Boots are engineered for peak performance in the most demanding rugby environments, particularly for forwards. Their construction focuses on delivering power, stability, and grip on soft, wet, and muddy natural grass pitches.
Scrum & Ruck Dominance: The Flight Beam TPU outsole provides the stiffness needed to generate maximum power transfer from your legs through the boot, crucial for effective pushing in scrums and driving over the ball in rucks. This translates to a stronger, more stable base.
Secure Footing: With eight 18mm studs, these boots dig deep into soft ground, offering unparalleled traction. This minimizes slippage during explosive movements, changes of direction, and tackles, allowing players to maintain their footing and exert force with confidence.
Durability for Impact: The scuff-resistant synthetic upper and reinforced toe area are built to withstand the constant abrasions, impacts, and general wear and tear inherent in forward play. This means the boots maintain their integrity even after repeated use in tough conditions.
Comfort During Long Matches: The cushioned collar and EVA footbed work together to absorb impact and provide comfort over a full 80 minutes, reducing fatigue and allowing players to focus on the game.
These boots are specifically designed with power players and forwards in mind. Whether you're a prop, hooker, or second row, the Stampede Groundbreak Team boots provide the support, stability, and aggressive traction required to excel in the set piece and close-quarter contact areas of the game. They are perfect for match days and rigorous forward-focused training sessions where soft ground conditions are prevalent.
To get the most out of your Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team Rugby Boots, understanding proper setup, compatibility, and ongoing care is essential.
Lacing: Utilize the conventional lacing system to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Start by loosening all laces, then slide your foot into the boot. Begin tightening from the toe area upwards, ensuring even tension across your foot. Double-knot for security during play. Experiment with lacing patterns to find what feels most secure and comfortable for your foot shape.
Initial Wear: It is recommended to wear the boots for short periods during training sessions before a match to allow them to break in. This helps the materials conform to your foot, improving comfort and performance.
Playing Surface: These boots are specifically designed for natural grass surfaces that are wet and muddy (Soft Ground - SG). The long 18mm studs are optimized for penetration and grip in these conditions.
Player Type: Built for forwards who require maximum stability, power transfer, and durability in contact situations like scrums, rucks, and mauls.
Studs: Equipped with eight 18mm studs. Ensure these comply with local league and referee regulations for the specific playing conditions.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots promptly. Remove excess mud and debris using a brush or a blunt object (like a plastic scraper).
Washing: Wipe the synthetic upper, lining, and sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn mud, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic materials.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them using direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can cause materials to crack or stiffen. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the studs for wear and tear. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal traction and safety.
