The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team Rugby Boots are engineered for rugby players, particularly lightning-fast backs and wingers, who demand explosive speed and agile footwork on competitive match days or high-intensity training sessions. These boots excel on soft or damp natural turf, offering a combination of ultralight construction and a locked-in fit, though their specialized sole makes them less suitable for hard ground or artificial pitches.
Lightweight Synthetic Upper: Provides a locked-in feel and streamlined movement, minimizing overall boot weight for enhanced speed.
Anti-abrasion Coating: Overlaid on the TPU upper to ensure durability and protection without adding unnecessary bulk.
Tighter, Second-Skin Fit: Designed to reduce energy loss during movement and offer a superior feel for kicking the ball.
Asymmetrical Lace System & Upper Grip Texture: Strategically designed to improve ball contact and enhance kicking accuracy.
Moulded Footbed: Features targeted padding and ventilation to deliver continuous comfort throughout the game.
Anti-slip Microfibre Lining: Works to keep your foot securely in place, preventing internal slippage during dynamic movements.
TPU Outsole: Specifically engineered to provide exceptional traction and stability on soft or damp natural grass surfaces.
Classic Aesthetic: An all-white base with Canterbury's iconic Kiwi-inspired logo offers a professional look backed by a century of brand expertise.

The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team Rugby Boots are built to perform in fast-paced rugby environments. For backs and wingers, the lightweight design and tight fit translate into rapid acceleration and quick changes of direction, allowing you to 'glide through the opposition defence'. The TPU outsole is your advantage on soft or damp natural turf, providing critical traction needed for explosive sprints, powerful scrums, and evasive sidesteps without losing footing. When it comes to kicking, the asymmetrical lace system and upper grip texture significantly enhance ball feel and accuracy, making a difference in crucial penalty kicks or conversions. The anti-abrasion coating ensures these boots stand up to the rigours of competitive play, offering protection without compromising the ultralight feel, meaning they're ready for both match day intensity and high-impact training sessions.
Setup: Upon receiving your boots, loosen the asymmetrical laces to comfortably slide your foot in. Tighten the laces securely, ensuring a snug, 'locked-in' fit that is firm but not restrictive. It is advisable to wear them for a few short periods before a full game or intense training to allow for a slight break-in and adaptation to your foot shape.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed with a TPU outsole for optimal performance on soft or damp natural turf (SG). They are not recommended for use on artificial grass (AG) or hard ground (HG) as this can damage the studs and compromise grip, potentially leading to injury and reduced boot lifespan.
Care:
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, promptly remove all visible mud and dirt. Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the upper and soleplate. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
Drying: Never dry your boots in direct sunlight, on a radiator, or using a hairdryer, as extreme heat can damage the synthetic materials and glues. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in a damp kit bag for extended periods, as this can lead to odor and material degradation.
Inspection: Regularly check the studs for wear or damage. Replace any worn or broken studs promptly to maintain optimal traction and safety.
