The Canterbury CCC Speed Team Boots are engineered for rugby players seeking a competitive edge through speed and stability. The rugby-approved metal studs ensure maximum traction on soft, natural ground, preventing slips during scrums, rucks, and quick direction changes. The seriously lightweight design allows players to accelerate rapidly and maintain high speeds without feeling weighed down.
Asymmetric lacing is a standout feature, providing an optimized surface for striking the ball, which can lead to improved accuracy in kicks and passes. The combination of breathable materials and a comfortable fit means your feet stay supported and cool, even during the most demanding periods of a match. These boots are ideal for backs and dynamic forwards who rely on agility, quick bursts of speed, and precision in their game. Always ensure the ground conditions are suitable for metal studs to maximize performance and prevent damage to the boots or injury.
Lacing: Unlace the boots sufficiently to easily slide your foot in. The asymmetric lacing should follow the natural curve of your foot. Pull laces snugly and tie them securely, ensuring a firm but comfortable fit that prevents your foot from sliding inside the boot. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause discomfort or restrict blood flow.
Initial Wear: Wear the boots around the house for a short period to allow them to begin molding to your foot shape before extensive use on the pitch. This helps in the 'break-in' process.
Ground Type: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet or muddy natural grass surfaces. The metal studs provide the necessary penetration and grip on such terrains. Using them on firm ground, artificial turf, or hard surfaces can damage the studs and the boots, and may also increase the risk of injury.
Sport: Optimized for rugby due to their stud configuration and design features catering to the sport's unique demands.
Cleaning After Use: After every match or training session, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the material to crack or stiffen. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the metal studs for wear and tear, and ensure they are tightly screwed in. Loose or worn studs should be replaced promptly using a stud key (sold separately) to maintain optimal grip and safety.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag to protect them from dust and damage.
