These Canterbury Speed Falcon Team Soft Ground Rugby Boots are built for the dynamic demands of competitive rugby, particularly on challenging soft ground pitches. Their lightweight design is crucial for wingers, fullbacks, and fly-halves who rely on explosive speed and quick footwork to break lines or execute tactical kicks.
The unique stud configuration with 6 conical metal and 3 rhombus TPU studs is the cornerstone of their soft-ground performance. This combination digs deep into muddy or wet pitches, providing unparalleled traction for rapid acceleration, sharp cuts, and powerful pushes in scrums or rucks. Players can confidently make sudden directional changes without fear of slipping, maintaining their balance and drive.
The snug fit works to reduce foot slippage within the boot, ensuring that every ounce of energy is transferred efficiently into your movements. This 'locked-in' feel is vital for maintaining speed over 80 minutes and executing agile maneuvers. The integrated upper grip texture is a subtle yet significant feature for kickers, offering enhanced ball contact for greater precision and power in penalties, conversions, or tactical kicks out of hand. Whether you're making a crucial penalty kick or clearing your lines, the added control can be a game-changer.
Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight, allowing for proper blood circulation and flexibility. Use the full lace fastening to achieve a locked-in feel.
Break-In Period: Like most new rugby boots, these may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or walks before competitive matches to mold them to your feet and prevent discomfort.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed and optimized for soft ground surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or generally softer. They are not recommended for use on firm ground, artificial turf, or hard surfaces, as this can damage the studs and compromise performance and safety.
Player Type: Ideal for players who prioritize speed, agility, and precision, such as backs (wingers, fullbacks, fly-halves) and dynamic loose forwards.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, use a plastic or wooden stud key to remove any mud from between the studs and from the sole. Brush off loose dirt from the synthetic upper.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth to wipe clean the synthetic upper and neoprene collar. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials that could damage the boot's finish.
Stud Check: Regularly inspect the aluminium and TPU studs. Ensure they are tightened securely before each match or training session to prevent loss and maintain optimal grip. Replace any worn, damaged, or lost studs promptly.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight) as this can cause materials to crack or stiffen. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from extreme temperatures. A boot bag can protect them during transport.
