FAQs

What type of playing surface are these boots suitable for?

These boots are specifically designed for optimal performance on soft or damp natural turf due to their specialized Soft Ground (SG) sole.

How do these boots contribute to speed and agility?

They feature a lightweight synthetic upper, a significant 24g weight reduction, a tighter fit for minimal energy loss, and a specialized sole with FLIGHTBEAM technology for explosive energy response and stability.

How should I clean my Canterbury Speed Falcon Elite boots?

After each use, remove excess mud and debris. Gently clean the upper and sole with a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. Air dry them naturally away from direct heat.

Are these boots comfortable for long periods of play?

Yes, they are designed with a knitted collar, targeted zonal padding, and an Ortholite® footbed to provide breathable comfort throughout intense training or match play.

What is the benefit of the 'VAPOSKIN membrane'?

The VAPOSKIN membrane is integrated into the boot's construction to contribute to a lighter, faster, and stronger performance profile, enhancing overall responsiveness.

What does 'Pebax Powered®' mean for the sole?

Pebax Powered® signifies the use of high-performance polymer technology in the sole, which provides lightweight stability and excellent energy return for powerful propulsion on the field.

My boots feel very snug, is this normal?

Yes, the boots are engineered for a tighter fit to ensure minimum energy loss and promote faster acceleration. A short break-in period is normal to allow the boots to adapt to your foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable initially

These boots are designed for a tighter fit for optimal performance. Allow for a short break-in period by wearing them for lighter activities first. Ensure you are wearing appropriate rugby socks that are not too thick.

Poor grip or slipping on the field

Confirm you are playing on soft or damp natural turf, as these boots are specifically designed for these conditions. Check that the studs are clean and not excessively worn; replace any damaged studs if necessary.

Boots get dirty easily and are hard to clean

Due to their white color, dirt may be more visible. Clean your boots immediately after each use using a soft brush, cloth, and lukewarm water to prevent mud from drying and staining. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Setup: Ensuring the Right Fit Before Use To get the most out of your Canterbury Speed Falcon Elite SG EK Rugby Boots, proper setup is key. 1. Lacing: Ensure you lace your boots securely but comfortably. The 'tighter fit' design means they will feel snug, which is intentional for energy transfer. Experiment with lacing patterns to find what works best for your foot shape without causing pressure points. 2. Break-in Period: Due to the snug fit and advanced materials, a short break-in period is recommended. Wear them for short training sessions or walks before a full match to allow them to mold to your feet. ## Compatibility: Designed for Specific Conditions These boots are specifically designed for soft or damp natural turf. They feature a specialized Soft Ground (SG) sole with studs optimized for penetration and grip in softer conditions. - Avoid Hard Ground/Artificial Turf: Using these boots on hard ground, firm ground (FG), or artificial turf (AG) can damage the studs, reduce grip, and potentially lead to discomfort or injury. Always match your boot type to the playing surface. ## Care: Maintaining Performance & Longevity Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots. 1. Cleaning After Each Use: Immediately after use, remove excess mud and debris. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water to gently clean the upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. 2. Stud Maintenance: Regularly check the studs for wear and tear. Replace any worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal grip and safety. 3. Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape. 4. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in plastic bags where moisture can be trapped, potentially leading to material degradation.
