FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots best suited for?

These Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Elite SG boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which include natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or generally soft.

Can I use these boots on artificial turf or firm ground?

No, it is strongly advised not to use these boots on artificial turf (AG) or firm ground (FG) pitches. The metal studs are designed for soft ground and can cause damage to other surfaces and the boots themselves, while also providing inadequate grip.

How do I clean and care for my rugby boots?

After each use, remove all excess mud and debris. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and air dry them naturally at room temperature. Regularly check and tighten the studs. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Are the studs replaceable?

Yes, the boots feature standard 18mm metal studs, which are fully replaceable. It is recommended to check them regularly for wear and tear and replace them as needed to maintain optimal performance.

What is the purpose of the PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM technology?

PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM technology is designed to maximize the transfer of power from your foot to the ground with every stride, scrum, or tackle. It helps minimize energy loss, allowing for sustained high performance throughout the game.

How does the TPU Skin upper benefit me?

The lightweight TPU Skin upper provides durable protection for your feet against impacts and abrasions without adding unnecessary weight to the boot. This allows you to play with confidence and agility.

What size should I get?

These boots are listed in UK adult male sizes. It's generally recommended to try on rugby boots with the socks you typically wear for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring enough room for your toes without your foot sliding inside.

Troubleshooting

Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.

Ensure the playing surface is genuinely soft ground. Check if the 18mm metal studs are worn down or clogged with mud. Clean studs thoroughly and replace any that are significantly worn.

Discomfort or blisters during play.

Ensure boots are properly laced for a snug fit. Allow a break-in period for the boots to mold to your feet. Check your sock type; moisture-wicking rugby socks are recommended. Re-evaluate sizing if discomfort persists.

Studs loosening or falling out.

Regularly inspect and tighten all studs before and after each use. Carry a stud wrench for on-the-spot adjustments. If a stud repeatedly loosens, it may need replacing with a new thread.

Upper material appears creased or damaged.

This is often normal wear and tear. To prevent excessive creasing, ensure boots are dried and stored correctly. Avoid excessive force when cleaning and keep them away from harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional grip and stability on soft, muddy pitches
  • Optimized for powerful forward play, enhancing scrummaging and driving performance
  • Comfortable and secure fit with advanced lockdown features
  • Lightweight yet highly protective upper material
  • Technology designed to maximize power transfer and minimize energy waste
  • Constructed with sustainable, bio-based outsole materials

Cons

  • Exclusively designed for soft ground; not suitable for firm or artificial surfaces
  • Metal studs require regular inspection and maintenance
  • May feel overly robust or heavy for players preferring lighter, more agile boots
  • The wide toe box might not suit players with very narrow feet

SetupUpon receiving your boots, inspect all studs to ensure they are securely fastened. Before your first use, lace the boots firmly to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that supports your foot without excessive pressure. It's advisable to wear them for a short period around the house or during light training to begin the break-in process.### CompatibilityThese boots are specifically designed for Soft Ground (SG) conditions. This means they are ideal for wet, muddy, or natural grass pitches. They are not recommended for use on Firm Ground (FG), Artificial Ground (AG), or 3G/4G pitches due to the metal studs, which can damage the playing surface and the boots themselves, and may not provide optimal grip. They are sized for adult males.### CareTo ensure the longevity and performance of your boots:1. Cleaning after use: Immediately after each game or training session, remove excess mud and debris from the upper and sole. Use a soft brush or old toothbrush to clean around the studs.2. Washing: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth (lukewarm water only). For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh detergents. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.3. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.4. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check that all studs are tight. Replace any worn, broken, or missing 18mm metal studs as needed.5. Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. A boot bag is recommended for transport, but avoid storing them in a sealed bag for extended periods, as this can trap moisture.
