FAQs
What type of rugby pitches are these boots best suited for?
These Canterbury Stampede Groundbreak Elite SG Rugby Boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) conditions, such as wet or muddy natural grass pitches, where the eight 18mm metal studs provide superior grip.
Are the studs on these boots replaceable?
Yes, the metal studs on these boots are typically replaceable. It's important to regularly check and tighten them, and replace any worn or damaged studs to maintain optimal performance and safety.
How should I clean and care for my boots after a game?
After use, remove all mud and debris from the boots and studs. Wipe the TPU Skin upper clean with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat, to preserve the materials and structure. Avoid machine washing or drying.
Are these boots suitable for backs or more agile players?
These boots are engineered with the 'power player' and forwards in mind, focusing on stability, power transfer, and traction for scrums and contact areas. While durable, their design may be less optimal for the rapid, multi-directional agility often required by backs.
What is the benefit of the PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM technology?
The PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM technology works in conjunction with the stiff outsole to maximise the transfer of power from your foot into the ground, reducing energy loss and enhancing your explosive force in scrums, rucks, and carries.
What does the 92% bio-based material in the outsole mean?
The two-part outsole, made with 92% bio-based materials, signifies Canterbury's commitment to sustainability while providing a high-performance feature. This material contributes to the outsole's higher stiffness, delivering greater power transfer and stability.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel unstable or lack grip on the pitch.
Verify that the pitch conditions are genuinely soft ground. Ensure all 18mm metal studs are clean and tightly secured. Worn-out studs should be replaced promptly. Check lacing for a secure fit.
Discomfort or rubbing during play.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate rugby socks. Re-evaluate the lacing to confirm a snug, even fit, taking advantage of the Winged Stretch Net tongue for optimal support. While the boots have a wide toe box, confirm the size is correct for your feet.
Reduced power transfer during scrums or tackles.
Confirm that the boots are securely laced to maximise the benefit of the PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM technology and stiff two-part outsole. Ensure your foot is not sliding within the boot, which can be mitigated by proper lacing and appropriate sock thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure boots are laced firmly from toe to ankle to achieve the secure lockdown provided by the Winged Stretch Net tongue. A snug fit prevents foot movement inside the boot, which can cause blisters and reduce power transfer.
- Stud Check: Before each use, inspect all eight 18mm metal studs to ensure they are securely tightened. Loose studs can compromise grip and pose a safety risk.
Compatibility
- Pitch Type: These boots are designed exclusively for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches. The long 18mm metal studs are ideal for wet, muddy, or natural grass surfaces where maximum penetration is required.
- Avoid Firm Ground: Using these boots on firm ground (FG) or artificial turf (AG) is not recommended, as it can damage the studs, compromise stability, and potentially lead to injury.
Care
- Cleaning: After each match or training session, immediately remove excess mud from the studs and upper using a boot scraper or stiff brush. Wipe the TPU Skin upper with a damp cloth.
- Stud Maintenance: Regularly clean mud from around the base of the studs to prevent build-up and ensure they can be easily tightened or replaced.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight). Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in plastic bags for extended periods, as this can trap moisture and promote mildew.
