The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team SG Rugby Boots are engineered for players who demand speed, agility, and secure footing on soft, natural grass pitches. The lightweight construction allows for rapid acceleration and quick changes in direction, making them ideal for backs and dynamic forwards who rely on explosive movements. With rugby-approved metal studs and a mixed stud outsole, these boots dig deep into soft ground, providing exceptional traction for powerful scrums, secure rucks, and explosive sprints, allowing players to 'feel unstoppable'.
The asymmetric lacing system ensures a snug, customized fit, reducing foot slippage inside the boot and maximizing power transfer for kicks and pushes. This design also offers a larger, cleaner striking surface for improved ball contact. The breathable upper helps keep your feet cool and comfortable throughout the game, even during high-intensity moments. These boots help players 'be on the ball' and 'secure every score' by offering the confidence of reliable grip and a responsive feel underfoot. They are best utilized in wet or muddy conditions where maximum stud penetration is required for optimal performance and stability.
Upon first use, ensure all metal studs are securely tightened using a stud wrench. Lace up the boots firmly using the asymmetric lacing system, ensuring a snug fit without excessive pressure points. Walk around in them to allow the boots to begin molding to your feet and identify any areas of discomfort before intense use.
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or require maximum stud penetration for reliable grip. They are not recommended for use on Firm Ground (FG), Artificial Grass (AG), or 3G/4G pitches, as this can lead to stud damage, pitch damage, or an unstable playing experience.
To maintain your Canterbury Speed Falcon Team SG boots and prolong their lifespan:
Clean After Each Use: Remove excess mud and debris immediately after playing. Use a soft brush and warm water to clean the upper and outsole. Do not use harsh detergents or put them in a washing machine.
Inspect Studs: Regularly check that all metal studs are tight. Replace any worn, damaged, or rusted studs promptly to maintain optimal grip and prevent potential injury.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain the boot's shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
