The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team Rugby Boots are engineered for rugby players, particularly lightning-fast backs and wingers, seeking explosive speed and agile footwork on soft ground. These boots offer a lightweight design and locked-in fit to enhance performance, though their specialized soft-ground sole means they are not suitable for all pitch conditions.

Asymmetrical Lace System & Upper Grip Texture: Improves kicking accuracy by providing a better feel and controlled contact with the ball.
Tighter, Locked-in Fit: Reduces energy loss and enhances foot-to-boot connection for precise movements and a 'second-skin' feel.
Moulded Footbed with Targeted Padding & Ventilation: Offers comfort, cushioning, and airflow during intense play.

These Canterbury Speed Falcon Team boots are built for unleashing explosive speed and agile footwork. Their ultralight construction makes them perfect for lightning-fast backs, especially wingers, who rely on quick acceleration and rapid changes in direction.
The TPU outsole with six metal studs and rhombus support studs provides superior grip, allowing players to dig in and push off confidently on soft or damp natural turf. This traction is crucial for maintaining balance and speed during evasive maneuvers.
The tighter, locked-in fit ensures minimal foot movement within the boot, translating directly into better energy transfer for powerful runs and precise kicks. The asymmetrical lace system and upper grip texture give players a better feel for the ball, enhancing kicking accuracy during crucial moments.
With targeted padding and an anti-slip microfibre lining, these boots ensure comfort even during high-intensity training sessions or competitive match days. They help you to glide through opposition defenses, giving you the edge in pivotal moments where speed and precision are paramount.
Simply use the lace-up design to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust laces to your preference for a 'second-skin' feel. Ensure the fit is snug but not restrictive, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage.
These boots are specifically engineered for soft or damp natural turf. They feature a soft ground soleplate with metal studs, making them unsuitable for:
Firm ground (FG)
Artificial grass (AG)
3G/4G pitches Using them on inappropriate surfaces can lead to reduced performance, damage to the boots, or injury, and may void warranties. Always check pitch regulations regarding metal studs.
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your boots:
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and debris with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For the all-white upper, a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) can help remove stubborn stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, which can damage the anti-abrasion coating.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, tumble dryers, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack, shrink, or degrade. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Tighten any loose studs and replace severely worn or damaged ones to maintain optimal traction and safety.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures. Consider using a boot bag for protection during transport.
