Designed for rugby players who prioritize speed and agility, the Canterbury Speed Falcon Team Rugby Boots offer a lightweight, locked-in fit for dynamic play on soft ground. These boots excel for backs and mobile forwards, enhancing traction and kicking accuracy; however, their specialized soft ground sole means they are not suitable for firm ground or artificial turf pitches.

The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team Rugby Boots are engineered for players whose game relies on explosive speed, quick changes of direction, and precise kicking. On soft, muddy pitches, the specialized soleplate with its six metal studs and rhombus supports digs in effectively, providing reliable traction for sprints, scrums, and rucks. The lightweight TPU upper minimizes bulk, allowing backs, particularly wingers, to accelerate and glide past defenders with ease. The 'second-skin' tighter fit, combined with the anti-slip microfibre lining, ensures your foot remains stable within the boot, translating to more efficient energy transfer and a better feel for the ball. The asymmetrical lacing system and textured upper specifically aid in improving kicking accuracy, making these boots a strong choice for kickers and those looking to improve their ball control in open play.
Upon receiving your Canterbury Speed Falcon Team boots, ensure you lace them up securely using the asymmetrical lace system. The 'tighter fit' design means you'll want to ensure your foot is snug but not uncomfortably compressed. Adjust the lacing to achieve a locked-in, second-skin feel, distributing pressure evenly across the top of your foot for optimal comfort and support.
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground conditions, making them ideal for muddy or wet rugby pitches. They are best suited for backs and mobile forwards who require speed, agility, and precise ball control. They are not recommended for use on firm ground, artificial turf, or hard surfaces, as this can damage the studs and reduce performance. Always check pitch conditions before selecting your footwear.
To prolong the life and performance of your boots:
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the synthetic upper and anti-abrasion coating.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry them with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Studs: Regularly check the metal studs for wear and tear. Replace any damaged or worn studs to maintain optimal traction and safety.
