The Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team Soft Ground Rugby Boots are engineered for rugby forwards seeking power and robust support in challenging conditions. Designed for optimal performance on wet and muddy natural grass, they offer long-lasting durability and comfort through features like a reinforced synthetic upper and EVA footbed. However, their specialized soft-ground sole means they are less suited for firm ground play.

The Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team Soft Ground Rugby Boots are built to empower forwards to dominate the breakdown and set pieces. On wet and muddy natural grass surfaces, the specialized sole provides exceptional grip, allowing for powerful drives in scrums, secure footing in rucks, and explosive bursts of speed. The reinforced toe offers crucial protection during contact, while the EVA footbed and cushioned collar ensure comfort and stability throughout 80 minutes of intense play. These boots excel in traditional forward roles, providing the necessary support and durability for continuous engagement, making them ideal for both competitive match days and demanding training sessions where soft ground conditions are prevalent.
SetupSimply lace up the boots using the conventional lacing system. Ensure the laces are securely tied to achieve a snug, supportive fit that prevents foot slippage without being overly tight. Take a few steps to confirm comfort and adjust as needed.
CompatibilityThese boots are designed for adult male rugby players, specifically optimized for soft ground (SG) conditions. This means they perform best on natural grass pitches that are wet and muddy. They are less suitable for firm ground (FG), artificial turf (AG), or dry pitches where the studs may provide less grip or wear down faster.
CareTo maintain your Canterbury Stampede boots and prolong their lifespan:
Clean After Each Use: Remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or cloth immediately after play.
Rinse Gently: If very muddy, rinse with lukewarm water, avoiding harsh detergents. Do not submerge the entire boot.
Dry Naturally: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb internal moisture and help maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight), which can damage the synthetic materials.
Check Studs: Regularly inspect studs for wear, looseness, or damage. Replace any worn or broken studs promptly to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
