FAQs
What type of ground are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or yielding natural grass surfaces. The 18mm metal studs provide optimal grip in these conditions.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf or firm ground?
No, the 18mm metal studs are not suitable for artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG) pitches. Using them on these surfaces can damage the studs, the playing surface, and may increase your risk of injury.
How do I clean my Canterbury Stampede boots after a match?
Remove excess mud with a stiff brush or non-abrasive tool. If needed, wash with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Always allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Regularly check and tighten your studs.
How often should I check the studs on my boots?
It is highly recommended to check all studs before and after every game or training session. Look for wear, looseness, or damage, and replace any compromised studs immediately to maintain safety and performance.
Are these boots suitable for rugby backs or only forwards?
While durable for any player, these boots are specifically engineered for the power, stability, and dominant grip required by forwards in the scrum and ruck. Backs often prefer lighter boots designed for speed and agility.
What does the 'TPU Skin upper' mean for boot performance?
The TPU Skin upper is a durable yet lightweight material that offers significant protection against abrasions and impacts commonly encountered in rugby. It helps keep your feet safe without adding unnecessary bulk, allowing for confident play.
What is PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM technology?
This technology refers to a specialized, stiff component integrated into the outsole. It is designed to maximize the transfer of power from your foot to the ground with every step, reducing energy loss and enhancing your propulsion and stamina during intense play.
Troubleshooting
Loss of grip or slipping on soft ground
Inspect your 18mm metal studs for wear, looseness, or damage. Replace any compromised studs and ensure they are tightened securely. Also, ensure the outsole is clean of excessive mud buildup which can reduce traction.
Discomfort or rubbing during play
Ensure boots are properly laced for a snug yet comfortable fit. Verify that you are wearing appropriate rugby socks. If the boots are new, allow for a brief break-in period. Double-check that you have the correct size for your foot.
Boots feel heavy or waterlogged after play
Thoroughly clean the boots immediately after use, removing all mud from the upper and outsole. Ensure they are dried naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat, which can damage materials. Stuffing with newspaper can aid drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
First Wear: Before your first game, wear the boots around the house for a short period to help them break in and conform to your foot shape. This can prevent discomfort on the pitch.
Lacing: Ensure you lace your boots securely but comfortably. A proper lacing technique provides maximum lockdown, preventing your foot from slipping inside the boot during dynamic movements.
Compatibility
Ground Type: These boots are exclusively designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. This includes natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or yielding. The 18mm metal studs are optimized for these conditions.
Avoid Other Surfaces: Do not use these boots on firm ground (FG), artificial turf (AG), or indoor surfaces. Doing so can damage the studs, the outsole, the playing surface, and may lead to injury.
Care
Post-Match Cleaning: Immediately after each use, clean your boots to remove mud and debris. Use a stiff brush or a non-abrasive tool to scrape off excess mud from the upper, outsole, and between the studs.
Washing: If necessary, wash the boots with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, as these can damage the materials. Do not submerge the entire boot in water for extended periods.
Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, heaters, or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check your 18mm metal studs before and after each game or training session. Ensure they are tightened and replace any worn, damaged, or missing studs immediately to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
