The Canterbury Speed Team boots are engineered for players who prioritize speed and dynamic movement. Their lightweight design allows for explosive sprints and quick changes of direction, crucial for wingers, fullbacks, and back-row players. The rugby-approved metal studs provide critical traction on soft, natural grass pitches, preventing slips during powerful scrums, aggressive rucks, or when making a sharp cut. The asymmetric lacing not only ensures a secure, personalized fit but also offers an optimized striking surface, aiding in more accurate kicks and better ball control during handling. The breathable and comfortable construction helps maintain focus throughout the 80 minutes, reducing discomfort and fatigue. These boots are ideal for competitive rugby environments where ground conditions are typically soft and demanding.
Initial Fitting: Try on the boots with the socks you typically wear for rugby. Ensure a snug fit that is comfortable, with enough room for your toes to wiggle slightly.
Lacing: Utilize the asymmetric lacing system to achieve a secure and customized fit. Start lacing from the bottom, pulling firmly but not too tightly, ensuring even pressure across your foot.
Break-In (If Needed): Wear the boots for short periods during training sessions before a full match to allow them to mold to your feet.
Pitch Type: These boots are equipped with metal studs, making them specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, which are typically natural grass fields that are damp or muddy. They are not recommended for firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) pitches, as this can damage the studs and the pitch surface, and compromise grip.
Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, remove loose dirt and mud from the boots using a brush or soft cloth. Wipe down the entire surface with a damp cloth.
Stud Inspection: Regularly check the tightness of all metal studs before and after each game/training session. Tighten any loose studs with a stud wrench. Inspect for wear and tear; replace any damaged or excessively worn studs promptly.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp kit bags for extended periods.
