The Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots excel in scenarios demanding quick acceleration, sharp turns, and reliable grip on soft ground. For backs, the lightweight synthetic upper and secure fit enable bursts of speed and evasive maneuvers, helping you beat defenders to the ball or make critical tackles. The soft ground outsole is crucial here, preventing slips and ensuring you maintain footing during dynamic plays.
Mobile forwards will appreciate the balance of support and speed. These boots provide enough stability for scrummaging or rucks, while their agile design allows for quick breakouts and supporting play. The integrated sockliner contributes significantly to comfort, allowing players to focus on their game without distraction, even during intense, prolonged matches. Expect reliable traction in wet and muddy conditions, giving you confidence with every step and tackle.
Lacing: Loosen laces fully before putting the boots on.
Insert Foot: Slide your foot in, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the boot.
Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, progressively tighten the laces, ensuring a snug but not overly restrictive fit. Adjust tension to lock your foot in place without creating pressure points. A locked-in fit is crucial for performance and preventing blisters.
Knot: Secure with a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. They are equipped with an outsole optimized for grip on natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or have longer turf. Using them on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) pitches may compromise performance, traction, and the longevity of the studs.
Cleaning After Use: After each match or training session, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn mud, a damp cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Stud Check: Regularly inspect the studs for wear and tear. Replace any damaged or excessively worn studs to maintain optimal traction and prevent injury.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives, leading to cracking or premature wear.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
