These robust boots feature eight 18mm metal studs and a stiff FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole, ensuring you dominate scrums and maintain stamina.

The Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team SG boots are engineered for the power player – think props, hookers, and locks who live for the set-piece and breakdown. Their design shines in scenarios demanding maximum force and stability:
Dominating the Scrum: The combination of eight 18mm metal studs and the stiff FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole provides an unshakeable base, allowing you to drive powerfully and maintain your position in the scrum with confidence.
Driving Through Tackles: The enhanced traction ensures you can maintain footing and momentum when making or breaking tackles, converting your strength into forward motion.
Ruck and Maul Stability: With midfoot reinforcement and a wide toe box, these boots offer excellent stability, keeping you upright and engaged during intense rucks and mauls.
Late Game Stamina: The efficient power transfer from the FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole helps minimize energy waste, supporting your ability to make critical, lung-busting recovery runs even in the final minutes of a match. These boots are your foundation for sustained, powerful performance on soft pitches.
Inspect Studs: Before your first use, ensure all eight 18mm metal studs are securely tightened into the outsole. Hand-tighten them if necessary. For optimal performance, always check studs before each match or training session.
Lacing: Lace your boots firmly but comfortably. Utilize the eyelets to achieve a snug fit that supports your foot without restricting circulation.
Playing Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or heavily saturated. Using them on hard ground, artificial turf (AG), or firm ground (FG) surfaces is not recommended as it can damage the studs, outsole, and potentially cause injury.
Player Type: Ideal for forwards (props, hookers, locks, back-rowers) and any player who prioritizes stability, power transfer, and superior grip in contact situations over lightweight speed.
Clean After Each Use: After every training session or match, remove excess mud and debris from your boots. Use a brush or old cloth to clean the upper and studs.
Rinse (If Necessary): If heavily soiled, lightly rinse the boots with cold or lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water as it can damage materials.
Dry Naturally: Do not put your boots in a tumble dryer or near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators). This can cause the material to crack or shrink. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape, then allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Check Studs Regularly: Periodically check the condition of your studs. Replace any worn, damaged, or missing studs promptly to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury. Use a stud key for removal and tightening.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
