The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team Rugby Boots are engineered for rugby players, particularly lightning-fast backs and wingers, who demand explosive speed and agile footwork on soft or damp natural turf. These boots deliver a significant performance edge through their ultralight construction and locked-in fit, though their specialized sole limits optimal performance to specific pitch conditions.

The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team boots are meticulously crafted to elevate the performance of players who rely on speed, quick changes of direction, and precise kicking. In real-world scenarios, these boots allow wingers to burst past defenders with greater ease due to their ultralight build and superior soft-ground traction. The locked-in fit ensures minimal foot movement inside the boot, translating directly to efficient energy transfer during sprints and acceleration.
For fast backs making crucial runs or executing tactical kicks, the asymmetrical lace system and upper grip texture significantly improve ball control and accuracy. This means cleaner strikes and more predictable ball flight, which is vital in high-pressure situations. The specialized TPU outsole digs deep into soft or damp natural turf, providing reliable grip for explosive push-offs and rapid pivots, allowing players to maintain balance and control even in slippery conditions. While these boots excel on their intended surface, their performance will be compromised on harder grounds where the long studs may feel uncomfortable or offer less effective grip.
Your Canterbury Speed Falcon Team boots feature a classic lace-up design. To ensure a secure and comfortable fit:
Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces before putting the boots on.
Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
Tighten Laces Evenly: Start from the toe box and gradually tighten the laces, working your way up to the ankle. Ensure a snug, secure fit without being uncomfortably tight or causing pressure points. The asymmetrical lacing should naturally conform to your foot.
Double Knot: Secure with a double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
These boots are specifically designed for soft or damp natural turf (SG). They are ideal for adult male players, particularly those in speed-focused positions like wingers and fullbacks. Using them on hard ground, artificial grass, or indoor surfaces is not recommended, as it can reduce traction, damage the studs, and cause discomfort.
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your boots:
Clean After Every Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid letting mud dry on the boots.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth with mild soap (if necessary) to gently wipe down the synthetic upper and outsole. Do not submerge the boots in water.
Dry Naturally: Allow the boots to air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
Store Properly: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Inspect Studs: Regularly check the TPU studs for wear or damage. While fixed, extreme wear can impact traction. Info needed: Specific instructions for stud replacement if applicable to this model.
