The Canterbury Speed Team Rugby Boots are engineered to provide a distinct advantage on the rugby field, especially on soft ground. Their seriously lightweight construction allows for explosive acceleration and agile changes in direction, crucial for backs making breaks or forwards needing to get to the breakdown quickly. Imagine sprinting down the wing, feeling unhindered by heavy footwear – these boots are designed for that sensation.
The rugby-approved metal studs are the cornerstone of their grip, biting firmly into natural grass pitches. This reliable traction is invaluable when making quick cuts, driving into tackles, or maintaining balance in a scrum or ruck. You'll feel secure and confident in your footing, reducing the risk of slips.
Asymmetric lacing is a subtle yet powerful feature. By creating a larger, cleaner striking zone on the top of the foot, it allows for more precise kicking and better ball control during passes and carries. This can significantly impact a player's ability to execute complex plays with accuracy.
The mixed stud outsole provides a balanced blend of stability and maneuverability, ensuring that whether you're pushing in a scrum, tackling, or pivoting, your foundation remains solid. These boots empower players to 'be on the ball' and 'secure every score' by providing the tools for confident, agile, and effective play.
First Fit: When you first try on your Canterbury Speed Team boots, wear the socks you typically use for rugby. The fit should be snug but comfortable, with your toes lightly touching the end. There should be minimal heel slip.
Lacing: Utilize the asymmetric lacing to achieve a secure and customized fit. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across your foot to prevent pressure points and provide optimal support.
Break-In Period: Like most new boots, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape. Wear them for light training sessions before a full match.
Ground Conditions: These boots are primarily designed for soft, natural grass pitches. The metal studs offer optimal grip in wet or muddy conditions. Using them on artificial turf or hard ground may cause discomfort, reduce grip, and accelerate wear on both the studs and the pitch surface.
Gender & Age: The Canterbury Speed Team boots are a unisex adult model, suitable for all adult rugby players.
Studs: Ensure any replacement studs are rugby-approved and compatible with the boot's threading system.
Post-Match Cleaning: After each use, remove all loose mud and debris from the boots, especially around the studs and soleplate. A soft brush or old cloth works well.
Wipe Down: If necessary, wipe the boots down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Stud Inspection: Regularly check the metal studs for tightness, wear, or damage. Hand-tighten any loose studs and replace any that are excessively worn, bent, or missing.
Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid leaving them in damp kit bags for extended periods to prevent odor and material degradation.
