SetupUpon receiving your boots, fully loosen the laces, then insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the boot. Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling each section firm but not overly tight, working your way up to the top. The full lace fastening allows for a personalized, secure fit; experiment with tension to find what feels most comfortable and supportive for your foot.CompatibilityThese boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) surfaces. The stud configuration, featuring 6 conical metal and 3 rhombus TPU studs, is optimized for traction and stability on natural grass pitches that are wet or muddy. They are not recommended for use on firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG), or indoor surfaces, as this can damage the studs, reduce performance, and potentially cause injury.CareProper care extends the life and performance of your Canterbury Speed Infinite Rugby Boots.1.

Ensure they are clean and securely tightened before each game to prevent loss or injury. Replacements are available if studs become worn or damaged.5. Refer to care label: Always consult the specific care label inside your boots for additional manufacturer guidelines.
