The Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team Rugby Boots are engineered to provide forwards with a decisive edge on natural, wet, and muddy soft ground. In the scrum, the eight 18mm metal studs and additional support studs dig deep into the turf, offering uncompromising grip to help maintain a strong, stable platform and drive through the opposition. The FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole plays a critical role here, transferring your raw power directly into the ground, reducing energy waste and allowing you to exert maximum force.
During rucks and mauls, the reinforced toe area and durable synthetic upper provide essential protection against abrasions and impacts, ensuring your feet are safeguarded in the thick of the action. The EVA footbed and cushioned collar work in tandem to deliver comfort and stability throughout the match, minimizing fatigue and allowing you to stay focused on the game. Even during lung-busting recovery runs or powerful carries, the efficient power transfer system ensures that your efforts translate into impactful performance, helping you to dominate the field from the first whistle to the last.
Lacing: Utilize the conventional lace-up design to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tight enough to prevent foot slippage but not so tight as to cause discomfort. Double-knot for added security during play.
Stud Check: Before each use, inspect all eight 18mm metal studs and additional support studs to ensure they are securely fastened. Tighten any loose studs with a stud wrench to prevent loss and maintain optimal traction. Replace any worn or damaged studs as needed.
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or otherwise yielding. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the boots and reduce performance.
Intended for adult male players, particularly forwards who require maximum grip, stability, and protection.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, remove excess mud by tapping the boots together. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water to clean the upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the synthetic upper.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry using direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack or stiffen.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and clean the stud threads. Replace metal studs when they show significant wear or are bent to ensure continued optimal performance and safety.
