FAQs
Can I use these boots on artificial grass (AG) pitches?
No, these Canterbury Speed Infinite Team boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) natural turf. The metal studs are not suitable for artificial grass and can cause damage to the pitch, the boots, and increase your risk of injury.
How do I choose the correct size?
These boots are available in UK sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and refer to Canterbury's official sizing chart. Note that these boots have a tighter fit, so if you are between sizes or prefer a slightly roomier feel, you might consider sizing up, though this can impact the 'minimal energy loss' design.
What is the best way to clean my boots?
After each use, remove loose mud with a stiff brush. Wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, avoiding submersion. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are the studs replaceable?
Yes, the 6 conical metal studs are replaceable. You will need a standard rugby boot stud wrench to remove and replace them. Regularly check and replace worn or damaged studs to maintain optimal performance and grip.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight synthetic material, designed for durability, a locked-in fit, and streamlined movement on the field.
Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?
These boots are ideal for players in positions that require explosive speed, agility, and quick changes of direction, such as backs (wingers, fullbacks, centres, scrum-halves) or dynamic loose forwards. While suitable for any player on soft ground, their 'speed' focus may mean less emphasis on heavy-duty protection preferred by some tight-five forwards.
Troubleshooting
Studs feel loose or are missing
Regularly check all studs. Tighten any loose metal studs with a stud wrench. Replace any missing or damaged studs immediately to maintain traction and prevent injury.
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
The boots are designed for a tighter fit. Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them for short periods during training to break them in. Adjust lacing to distribute pressure evenly. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different lacing technique or consulting a sizing guide.
Loss of traction on the field
Verify that you are playing on a soft ground surface. These boots are not designed for firm or artificial ground. Check studs for mud build-up, wear, or damage. Clean thoroughly and replace any worn studs.
Upper material appears damaged or cracked
Avoid drying the boots with direct heat, as this can degrade synthetic materials. Clean gently after each use and store properly. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear, but significant damage may indicate improper care or excessive stress.
Persistent odor inside the boots
Ensure boots are thoroughly dried after each use. Remove the inner sole if possible to air out. Use anti-bacterial sprays or odor absorbers specifically designed for footwear. Do not wash in a machine, as this can damage the materials.

Info needed: May offer less padding compared to boots designed for impact protection.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Lacing: Ensure the lace-up closure is snug but not overly tight. Start lacing from the toes upwards, pulling evenly to distribute pressure. A secure fit is vital for performance and to prevent blisters.
First Wear: It's advisable to wear the boots for light training sessions before a competitive match to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Compatibility
Surface: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) surfaces, which include natural grass pitches that are wet, muddy, or damp. The metal studs are optimized for penetration and grip on these softer surfaces.
Avoid Hard Ground: Using these boots on firm ground (FG) or artificial grass (AG) surfaces is not recommended, as it can damage the studs, compromise stability, and potentially lead to injury.
Care
Cleaning: After each use, especially on soft ground, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Stud Maintenance: Regularly check metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace worn or damaged studs promptly using a stud wrench.
Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the synthetic materials and glues. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag to protect them during transport.
Material Composition: Synthetic upper and lining, textile inner sole, synthetic outer sole. Follow general synthetic material care guidelines.
