FAQs

What type of ground are these boots suitable for?

These Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Elite boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet or muddy.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass?

No, these boots with large metal studs are not recommended for artificial grass (AG) pitches. Using them on AG can damage the pitch, the boots, and increase the risk of injury. Use boots specifically designed for artificial grass.

How do I maintain the metal studs?

It's important to regularly check and tighten the metal studs with a stud key before and after each game or training session. This ensures optimal traction and player safety.

Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?

While designed with the 'power player' in mind, offering stiffness and stability, their excellent traction and support make them a solid choice for various positions, especially forwards or players needing maximum grip in soft conditions.

What is the outsole made from?

The outsole features a new two-part design, delivering higher stiffness for power transfer, and is notably made with 92% bio-based materials.

How should I clean and dry my boots?

After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse with lukewarm water if very dirty, but avoid submerging. Air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.

What if the boots feel too tight or loose?

These boots have a tailored regular fit. Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. Lacing adjustments can help. If persistent, consider professional fitting advice.

Troubleshooting

Studs feel loose or wobbly.

Regularly check and tighten all metal studs with a stud key. If studs are worn or damaged, replace them with compatible soft ground rugby studs.

Boots feel slippery on the pitch.

Ensure you are playing on appropriate soft ground conditions. If the pitch is too firm, these boots will not provide optimal traction. Check studs for wear or damage; replace if necessary.

Foot discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure socks are appropriate for rugby (thick and cushioned). Check lacing for even pressure distribution. Allow for a break-in period; if discomfort persists, consider different insoles or check sizing.

Boots retain a strong odor.

After each use, clean boots thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely. Use boot deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional stability and power transfer for dynamic play.
  • Superior traction on soft ground due to large metal studs.
  • Enhanced ball control from textured upper detailing.
  • Robust synthetic construction provides excellent support and safety.
  • Comfortable fit with a cushioned collar.
  • Outsole made with significant bio-based materials.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for soft ground, limiting versatility on other surfaces.
  • Metal studs may require regular checking and tightening.
  • Synthetic materials may not offer the same breathability as natural leather.
  • Initial break-in period might be required for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure boots are laced securely but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage. Experiment with lacing patterns for personalized comfort.
  2. Stud Check: Before each match or training session, check that all metal studs are securely tightened. Loose studs can compromise traction and pose a safety risk. Replacement studs can be purchased separately if needed.

Compatibility:

These boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) pitches. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the boots, the playing surface, and increase the risk of injury.

Care:

  1. Cleaning After Use: Immediately after play, remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Rinse (if needed): If very muddy, rinse with lukewarm water, but do not submerge completely.
  3. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesive. Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
