These Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team Rugby Boots are purpose-built for the rigors of the forward pack on soft, muddy pitches. In the scrum, the reinforced toe area provides critical protection, while the boot's overall stability helps transmit power effectively. During rucks and mauls, the durable synthetic upper and secure fit ensure your feet remain protected and planted, allowing you to drive effectively and maintain your body position. For ball carriers and tacklers in forward positions, the specialized sole (for soft ground) delivers reliable traction, preventing slips and allowing for powerful, explosive movements. Their robust construction means they can withstand the constant impact and friction associated with forward play, making them a reliable choice for both competitive match days and intensive training sessions in challenging weather.
Lacing: Ensure the boots are laced securely but comfortably. Start lacing from the bottom eyelets and pull consistently to achieve a snug fit across your foot. Double knot for added security during play.
Break-In Period: While the synthetic upper is generally flexible, a short break-in period during light training sessions can help the boots conform better to your foot before competitive matches.
Ground Type: Specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. The stud configuration is optimized for traction on wet, muddy, or loose surfaces. Avoid using on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) as this can damage the studs and compromise performance.
Player Type: Ideal for adult male rugby forwards who require robust support, protection, and stability in their play.
Size: This specific pair is UK size 12.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or cloth. Do not leave mud on the boots as it can degrade materials.
Washing: Use lukewarm water and a mild soap to clean the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials. Rinse thoroughly.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry using direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, tumble dryers) as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack or shrink. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odor.
