FAQs

Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?

These boots are optimized for backs, especially wingers, due to their lightweight design and focus on speed. Other positions may benefit, but consider the specific needs of the position.

What type of ground are these boots designed for?

The Canterbury Speed Falcon Elite SG boots are designed specifically for soft ground (SG) conditions.

How do I clean my rugby boots?

Wipe the boots with a damp cloth after each use to remove mud and debris. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

How often should I replace the studs?

Inspect the studs regularly and replace them as soon as you notice any wear or damage. The frequency depends on field conditions and usage.

What is the benefit of the VAPOSKIN membrane?

The VAPOSKIN membrane reduces weight in the boot while still providing durability and protection.

How should I store my rugby boots?

Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat, when not in use.

Do these boots come with a warranty?

Check the product packaging or the retailer's website for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Studs are loose or falling out.

Tighten the studs before each use using a stud key. Replace any worn or damaged studs immediately.

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period. Consider wearing thicker socks or loosening the laces slightly. If the problem persists, the boot size may be incorrect.

Poor grip on the field.

Ensure the studs are the correct length for the field conditions and are not worn down. Check that the studs are properly tightened. Consider replacing the studs if necessary.

Damage to the upper material.

Clean the boots after each use and store them in a dry place. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
