The Canterbury Speed Falcon Team SG Rugby Boots are built to give backs, particularly wingers, a significant advantage on soft or damp natural grass pitches. Their ultralight construction allows for effortless acceleration, enabling players to "glide through the opposition defense" with ease. The tighter fit ensures a locked-in, second-skin feel, which not only prevents energy loss but also provides a more sensitive touch for kicking, translating to improved accuracy. The asymmetrical lace system and upper grip texture further support this, giving players better control over the ball. On the pitch, the soft ground soleplate with its six metal studs and rhombus support studs digs deep, offering reliable traction for quick changes in direction, explosive sprints, and solid footing during scrums and rucks. The moulded footbed with targeted padding and ventilation, coupled with the antislip microfibre lining, ensures sustained comfort throughout the game, allowing you to focus purely on performance.
Getting started with your Canterbury Speed Falcon Team SG Rugby Boots is straightforward. Simply use the lace-up design to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but comfortably, without restricting circulation, to benefit from the locked-in feel. It's recommended to wear them for a short period before a match to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
These boots are specifically engineered for soft or damp natural turf. The Soft Ground (SG) soleplate with its metal studs is designed to penetrate soft ground for maximum grip. They are ideal for positions like wingers and backs where speed and agility are paramount. Important: These boots are not recommended for use on firm ground, artificial grass (AG), or 3G/4G pitches, as this can damage the soleplate and increase the risk of injury. They are designed for adult players, size UK 9.5.
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your boots, follow these care guidelines:
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on soft or muddy pitches, clean off any dirt and mud. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check and tighten all metal studs with a stud key. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly.
Drying: Allow boots to dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack or stiffen.
Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Anti-abrasion Coating: While the anti-abrasion coating adds durability, regular cleaning will help prevent mud and grit from compromising its effectiveness.
