FAQs
Are these boots suitable for artificial grass pitches?
No, these Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team boots are specifically designed for 'soft ground' (SG), which means natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. Using them on artificial turf or hard ground can damage the studs and reduce their effectiveness and lifespan.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot length and refer to Canterbury's official sizing chart. Rugby boots should fit snugly but allow for a small amount of space at the toe. As these are UK Size 5, ensure this corresponds to your child's current foot measurements.
Can these boots be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the synthetic materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the boots. Always clean them by hand as per the care instructions.
What's the best way to dry the boots after they get wet?
Always air dry your boots naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as intense heat can cause the synthetic materials to crack or shrink. Placing crumpled newspaper inside can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Are these boots waterproof?
While the synthetic upper offers some water resistance and protection against splashes on muddy fields, the boots are not fully waterproof. Water can still penetrate through the seams or lacing area during heavy rain or deep puddles.
Do these boots come with replaceable studs?
The Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Team Soft Ground Rugby Boots feature a fixed sole with molded studs designed for soft ground. They do not typically come with replaceable studs.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too loose or too tight during play.
Adjust the conventional lacing system. If too loose, tighten laces evenly from bottom to top. If too tight, loosen laces slightly, ensuring enough room for foot flexion without excessive movement. Ensure the knot is secure.
My child is slipping on the field.
These boots are designed for wet and muddy soft ground. If slipping occurs, check that the playing surface is indeed soft. If playing on firm ground or artificial turf, these boots are not suitable, and slippage is expected due to the inappropriate stud configuration. Also, ensure the sole and studs are clean from excessive mud buildup.
Boots are hard to clean after a very muddy game.
Clean the boots immediately after use while the mud is still wet. Use a stiff brush or a blunt tool to scrape off large clumps of mud, then wash with lukewarm water and a soft cloth/sponge. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap can be used. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
The boots are developing an odor.
Proper drying after each use is crucial. Ensure boots are fully air-dried in a well-ventilated area. You can also use boot deodorizers or place crumpled newspaper inside to absorb moisture and odor. Regularly clean the inside lining with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the boots sufficiently to easily insert your foot. Ensure socks are worn for comfort.
- Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the boot, making sure your heel is seated correctly at the back.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, progressively tighten the laces upwards. Ensure the laces are snug but not uncomfortably tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
- Tie Securely: Finish by tying a secure knot (double knot recommended) to prevent laces from coming undone during play.
Compatibility
- Surface: These boots are exclusively designed for soft ground (SG), meaning natural grass fields that are wet or muddy. They are not compatible with artificial turf, firm ground, or hard ground surfaces. Using them on incorrect surfaces can damage the studs, reduce traction, and void potential warranties.
- Age Group: Designed for kids.
- Gender: Primarily marketed for male junior players.
Care
- Immediate Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean your boots promptly. Remove excess mud and debris using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not leave mud to dry on the boots as it can harden and be more difficult to remove, potentially damaging the material.
- Washing: Use lukewarm water and a mild soap (if necessary) to gently clean the synthetic upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Rinsing: Rinse off any soap residue with clean water.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hairdryers, or direct sunlight, as this can cause the synthetic materials to crack, warp, or become brittle.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. You may insert crumpled newspaper into the boots to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect studs for wear or damage. Replace them if necessary (if replaceable studs are present, these boots use a fixed sole).
