These Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots are meticulously crafted for players whose game relies on explosive speed, quick turns, and a secure grip, making them ideal for backs (such as wingers, fullbacks, and scrum-halves) and mobile forwards (like flankers and number eights). The lightweight synthetic upper minimizes drag, allowing you to accelerate rapidly and execute agile maneuvers with ease.
The soft ground outsole featuring rugby-approved metal studs is the cornerstone of its performance, digging into muddy or wet pitches to provide unparalleled traction. This means you can confidently push off for scrums, change direction quickly to beat defenders, or maintain stability during rucks without fear of slipping. The asymmetric lacing system not only secures your foot but can also enhance your contact with the ball, offering better control when kicking or carrying. For example, a winger making a break will benefit from the secure grip enabling sharp cuts, while a scrum-half will appreciate the precise feel for quick passes and kicks from the base of a ruck. The sockliner ensures that despite the intensity of the game, your feet remain comfortable, reducing fatigue and allowing you to perform at your peak for longer durations.
Your Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots come ready to wear. Simply put them on and use the asymmetric lacing system to achieve a snug and secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but not too tightly to avoid discomfort or restricted blood flow. A properly laced boot will provide optimal support and a locked-in feel.
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground pitches. The metal studs are intended to penetrate wet and muddy surfaces to provide maximum traction. They are not recommended for use on firm ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs, the pitch, and may lead to injury. They are ideal for players in positions that require speed and agility, such as backs and mobile forwards.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your boots, follow these care instructions:
Clean After Every Use: After each match or training session, remove excess mud and dirt using a boot brush or a stiff bristled brush. A damp cloth can be used to wipe down the synthetic upper.
Inspect Studs: Regularly check the metal studs for wear or damage. Replace any damaged studs to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury.
Drying: Never dry your boots by direct heat (e.g., radiators, hairdryers), as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives. Instead, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
