These Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team boots are engineered for peak performance on soft, natural grass pitches. The scuff-resistant synthetic upper means you can charge into rucks and tackles with confidence, knowing your boots can take the abuse. The cushioned collar and EVA footbed are critical for reducing fatigue over 80 minutes of intense play, providing a stable and comfortable platform for powerful runs and agile sidesteps.
The conventional lacing system allows you to achieve a precision fit, locking your foot in place to prevent unnecessary movement inside the boot, which can lead to blistering or loss of power transfer. On wet and muddy fields, the specialized soft ground outsole provides the aggressive traction needed for quick changes of direction, powerful scrums, and explosive acceleration. The breathable mesh lining helps manage internal boot temperature, keeping your feet as cool and dry as possible in challenging conditions. These boots are a reliable choice for players who frequently compete on heavy, yielding pitches.
Lacing: Before first use, ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Begin lacing from the toe, pulling firmly but comfortably with each cross-over to ensure an even tension. Finish with a secure double knot to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
Break-In: Like any new footwear, these boots may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or walks before a full match to allow them to conform to your feet.
Ground Type: Specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically natural grass surfaces that are wet, muddy, or yielding. Not recommended for firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or 3G/4G pitches as this can damage the sole and reduce grip.
Player Type: Suitable for adult male rugby players, offering durability and support for various positions.
Size: This specific variant is UK Men's Size 11.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, promptly clean your boots. Wipe off excess mud with a stiff brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the synthetic material. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water.
Drying: Never dry your boots with direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack or stiffen. Instead, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
Storage: Store your clean, dry boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them from dust and damage.
Stud Check: Regularly inspect the studs for wear or damage. While this model does not feature replaceable studs, ensuring they are free from excessive build-up is crucial for optimal grip.
