These Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots are tailored for players who demand quick acceleration and agile changes of direction on soft, natural grass pitches. The lightweight synthetic upper allows backs and mobile forwards to maintain their speed without feeling weighed down, crucial for breaking tackles or getting to the breakdown quickly. The secure lacing system ensures your foot remains firmly in place, minimizing internal slippage during scrums, rucks, or explosive runs.
The soft ground outsole is the standout feature, providing critical grip when the pitch is muddy or wet. This means you can plant your feet with confidence, generate power, and make sharp turns without losing traction. The integrated sockliner contributes to sustained comfort, which is vital during a full match or intense training session, helping to prevent fatigue and blisters. For players who frequently play on soft, challenging surfaces, these boots offer a reliable foundation for maximizing their performance.
Your Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots are ready to use right out of the box. Simply slip them on and use the secure lacing system to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but not excessively tight to allow for natural foot movement while maintaining support.
These boots are designed specifically for soft ground pitches, meaning natural grass fields that are damp, muddy, or have some give. They are suitable for adult male players in a UK Size 8. While engineered for backs and mobile forwards, their balanced design can also benefit other positions that prioritize speed and agile movement on soft terrain.
Proper care will extend the lifespan and performance of your boots:
Cleaning: After each use, wipe off any mud or debris with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Placing newspaper inside can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Inspection: Regularly check the studs and soleplate for wear or damage, especially after playing on particularly challenging soft ground.
