These Canterbury Speed Infinite Team boots are engineered for players whose game relies on bursts of speed, quick changes in direction, and decisive agility. On soft or damp natural turf, the unique stud configuration provides a powerful grip, allowing you to accelerate rapidly and pivot without slipping. Imagine a winger breaking through the defense, needing to maintain their footing through a muddy patch, or a scrum-half delivering a quick box kick with precision – the specialized sole and upper grip are designed for these exact scenarios.
The lightweight synthetic upper and neoprene collar work together to create a 'second-skin' feel, reducing bulk and enabling natural foot movement. This is particularly beneficial for players in backline positions or those who need to cover ground quickly and execute delicate footwork. The tighter fit ensures that your foot remains stable within the boot, transferring maximum power with each stride and minimizing wasted energy, which is critical in the later stages of a tough game.
Breaking the Line: The aggressive traction allows for rapid acceleration from a standing start or during a sprint.
Agile Direction Changes: The stability provided by the studs supports sharp cuts and sidesteps.
Precision Kicking: The upper grip texture gives you better feel and control when striking the ball.
Wet & Muddy Pitches: The soft ground sole excels in challenging weather conditions, preventing slips.
Lacing: Ensure the lace-up closure is snug but not overly tight. Start lacing from the toes upwards, pulling evenly to distribute pressure. A secure fit is vital for performance and to prevent blisters.
First Wear: It's advisable to wear the boots for light training sessions before a competitive match to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) surfaces, which include natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or damp. The metal studs are optimized for penetration and grip on these softer surfaces.
Avoid Hard Ground: Using these boots on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) surfaces is not recommended, as it can damage the studs, compromise stability, and potentially lead to injury.
Cleaning: After each use, especially on soft ground, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace worn or damaged studs promptly using a stud wrench.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the synthetic materials and glues. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
Material Composition: Synthetic upper and lining, textile inner sole, synthetic outer sole. Follow general synthetic material care guidelines.
