The Canterbury Stampede Rugby Boots are built to give you a decisive edge in critical match situations. For scrummaging and rucks, the eight 18mm metal studs provide unmatched bite into the turf, allowing props and locks to maintain their footing and apply maximum force, preventing slippage and ensuring solid engagement. When driving through tackles or carrying the ball into contact, the stiff FLIGHTBEAM TPU outsole efficiently transfers your power, turning energy into forward momentum and ensuring you don't lose steam. This also helps with recovery runs, allowing you to maintain stamina and burst back into action when needed. The combination of the stiff sole and midfoot reinforcement ensures excellent stability underfoot, critical for maintaining balance and delivering consistent power throughout the game, whether you're a stocky prop or a powerful lock.

Setup1. Unpack: Remove boots and any packaging.2. Inspect Studs: Ensure all 18mm metal studs are securely screwed into the outsole. If they are loose, gently tighten them using a stud key (sold separately or included with some purchases).3. Break-in Period: Wear the boots for short periods during training sessions before competitive matches to allow them to mold to your feet and reduce discomfort.### Compatibility- These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or have longer grass. The 18mm metal studs provide optimal traction in these conditions.- They are not recommended for firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) pitches, as the long metal studs can cause discomfort, damage the pitch, and wear down quickly.### Care1. Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and debris from the boots and studs. A soft brush and water can be used.2. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check studs for tightness and wear. Replace worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain traction and boot integrity.3. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.4. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a boot bag can protect them during transport.
