The Canterbury Stampede Rugby Boots are built for the demands of the modern forward. In the scrum, the eight 18mm metal studs provide an unshakeable grip, allowing props and locks to maintain their stability and drive through opponents without slippage. This superior traction is equally vital when driving through tackles or securing rucks, ensuring every push generates maximum force. The FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole plays a crucial role in converting leg power directly into forward momentum, reducing energy waste. This means players can make those 'lung-busting recovery runs' late in the game, maintaining high performance levels when it matters most. The robust design and midfoot reinforcement ensure the boot stands up to the intense physical contact of forward play, while the moulded heel and wide toe box offer a secure yet comfortable fit, preventing discomfort during extended periods of play. These boots are specifically engineered to give power players the edge in critical game situations on soft, muddy pitches.
Inspect Studs: Before first use and each game, ensure all eight 18mm metal studs are securely tightened. Use a stud wrench if necessary.
Break-In Period: Allow for a short break-in period, wearing the boots for light training sessions before a full match to ensure optimal comfort and fit.
Pitch Type: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. The 18mm metal studs provide optimal grip on wet, muddy, or soft natural grass surfaces.
Player Position: Ideal for forwards (props, hookers, locks, flankers, number eights) due to their emphasis on stability, power transfer, and traction in the scrum and breakdown.
Stud Regulations: Always check your league's or tournament's stud length regulations. 18mm studs are standard for senior soft ground play but may not be permitted in all youth leagues or on certain artificial surfaces.
Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and debris with a brush. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check studs for wear and tear. Replace any damaged or excessively worn studs to maintain optimal traction and safety. Ensure stud threads are clean to prevent seizing.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
