These Canterbury Rugby Boots are engineered to support the demanding needs of a power player, focusing on positions like the forwards where stability, traction, and power are paramount. The eight 18mm studs are a game-changer on soft, muddy pitches, digging in to provide a secure foundation during scrums, rucks, and mauls, minimizing slippage and maximizing drive. This allows players to exert more force without losing footing, translating directly into better control and performance.
The Flight beam TPU sole plays a critical role in transferring energy efficiently. When pushing off, sprinting, or making powerful tackles, this technology ensures that your power is directed effectively into the ground, enhancing acceleration and stability. The moulded heel and wide toe box contribute to comfort over the entire match, reducing the likelihood of blisters or discomfort, which can be distracting during high-stakes play. This combination of features makes these boots ideal for players who need reliable grip and robust support to dominate the breakdown and make powerful carries across the pitch. They are particularly well-suited for training and match days on grass or muddy surfaces.
First Wear: Before your first use, try on the boots with your usual rugby socks to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Walk around to get a feel for them.
Stud Check: While studs are pre-installed, it's always good practice to check that all eight 18mm studs are securely tightened using a standard stud key before your first game or training session. This helps prevent loss during play.
Breaking In: Wear the boots for a few shorter training sessions before a full match to allow them to conform to your foot shape and minimize discomfort.
Ground Type: These boots are designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. The 18mm studs provide optimal traction on wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces. They are generally not recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or 3G/4G pitches, where shorter studs or specific AG boots are required.
Player Type: Ideal for 'power players' or forwards who require maximum grip and stability during scrums, rucks, and heavy carrying.
Cleaning: After each use, remove any excess mud and debris from the boots and studs using a stiff brush or a damp cloth. Rinse under cool, running water. Avoid using harsh detergents or hot water, which can damage materials.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or shrink. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check studs for wear and tear, and ensure they are tightened. Loose or worn studs can lead to injury or reduced performance. Replace worn studs promptly with compatible replacements.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp kit bags for extended periods.
