FAQs

What type of ground are these boots best suited for?

These Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Elite boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. They excel on wet, muddy, and natural grass surfaces due to their specialized outsole and 18mm studs.

Can I use these boots on artificial grass (AG) or firm ground (FG) pitches?

No, it is not recommended. Using soft ground studs on AG or FG can cause discomfort, damage the pitch, and wear down the studs quickly, potentially affecting grip and stability.

How do I clean and care for my boots?

After each use, brush off loose mud. Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. Air dry naturally at room temperature and avoid direct heat. Regularly check and tighten/replace the 18mm studs as needed.

What does 'Flightbeam TPU Outsole' mean?

The Flightbeam TPU Outsole is a key technology providing exceptional grip and traction. It's a two-part outsole, with the PEBAX Powered Flight beam, engineered to deliver higher stiffness for enhanced power transfer and stability, especially crucial for forwards.

Are these boots durable?

Yes, the TPU Skin upper is designed for essential support and protection, while the overall construction aims for durability suitable for the demands of rugby. Proper care and maintenance will extend their lifespan.

Are the studs replaceable?

Yes, the eight 18mm studs are designed to be replaceable. Regularly check them for wear and tear and replace them to maintain optimal performance and safety.

What is the benefit of the 'winged neoprene tongue'?

The winged neoprene tongue, along with the Winged Stretch Net tongue, ensures a secure lockdown and enhanced comfort for your foot. It helps to keep the foot stable within the boot during dynamic movements.

What materials are the boots made from?

The upper is made of synthetics (specifically TPU Skin), the lining is textile, and the sole features a textile inner and synthetics outer, with the outsole being 92% bio-based materials.

Troubleshooting

Poor grip or slipping on soft ground

Ensure all eight 18mm studs are present, clean, and securely tightened. Check if the studs are worn and replace them if necessary. These boots are optimized for soft ground; performance may vary on firmer surfaces.

Discomfort or rubbing during play

Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure laces are tied securely, but not too tight. Check socks for bunching. The moulded Ortholite footbed and heel pod are designed for comfort, but a short break-in period may be needed for optimal comfort. Ensure the winged neoprene tongue is sitting correctly.

Boots feel heavy or clunky

These boots are built for power and stability, especially for the forward pack, which may give them a more robust feel. The TPU Skin upper is designed to minimize weight while providing protection. Ensure studs are clean of excess mud, which can add weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional grip on soft, muddy pitches.
  • Designed for maximum power transfer and stability.
  • Durable and protective TPU Skin upper.
  • Sustainable outsole with 92% bio-based materials.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with advanced tongue and footbed features.
  • Optimized for forward pack performance.

Cons

  • Specialized for soft ground, less effective on firm ground.
  • Synthetic upper may not offer the same natural feel as leather.
  • 18mm studs might require specific care and replacement.
  • Info needed: Break-in period.

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Ensure the lace-up design is tied securely but not overly tight. The winged neoprene tongue should sit comfortably over the instep, providing a snug lockdown.
  2. Fit: The moulded heel and wide toe box are designed for a superb fit. Wear rugby socks to assess the fit and ensure no pressure points.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches. This includes natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or yielding.
  • They are not recommended for firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) pitches, as the 18mm studs may cause discomfort, poor grip, and excessive wear on the studs or the pitch.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose mud and debris with a soft brush. Wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not force dry with heat sources, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Studs: Regularly check the 18mm studs for wear and tear. Replace any worn or damaged studs to maintain optimal grip and prevent injury. Ensure they are tightened before each use.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
