FAQs
What type of playing surface are these boots best suited for?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, or natural grass fields.
Can I use these boots on artificial turf or firm ground?
No, the metal studs are not suitable for artificial turf or firm ground. Using them on these surfaces can damage the boots, the pitch, and may lead to injury.
What does the PEBAX Powered FLIGHTBEAM technology do?
This technology works with the two-part outsole to enhance the boot's stiffness and maximize power transfer from your foot to the ground, aiding in explosive movements and reducing energy loss.
How do I ensure a secure fit with these boots?
Utilize the Winged Stretch Net tongue and carefully lace the boots from toe to top, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that locks your foot in place without excessive pressure.
How should I clean and care for my boots?
Clean off mud and debris immediately after use with a stiff brush and damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regularly inspect and tighten or replace worn metal studs.
Are replacement studs available for these boots?
Yes, replacement studs are commonly available for rugby boots with interchangeable studs. Ensure you purchase studs compatible with Canterbury boots.
What is the benefit of the TPU Skin upper?
The TPU Skin upper provides durable protection for your feet against impacts and abrasions, while remaining lightweight to not hinder your performance or agility.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size and wear appropriate rugby socks. Boots often require a 'break-in' period; wear them for shorter periods during training before a full match. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to avoid pressure points.
Poor grip or slipping on the pitch.
Verify that you are playing on soft ground conditions suitable for SG studs. Check if the 18mm metal studs are worn down, damaged, or caked with mud. Clean studs thoroughly and replace any that are significantly worn.
Studs are loose or falling out.
Regularly check and tighten all studs with a stud key. If a stud repeatedly loosens or falls out, it may be stripped; consider replacing the stud and potentially the receptacle if the issue persists. Always ensure studs are securely fastened before play.
Pros and Cons

- Enhanced power transfer for explosive drives and scrums.
- Robust protection for the foot without compromising on weight.
- Secure and comfortable fit, providing all-game lockdown.
- Durable construction designed for the rigors of forward play.
- Bio-based materials in outsole contribute to sustainability.
Cons
- Primarily designed for soft ground; not suitable for firm ground or artificial turf.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces completely before putting on the boots.
- Fitting: Slide your foot in, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the moulded heel cup and your toes have adequate space in the wide toe box.
- Secure Fit: Systematically tighten the laces from the toe upwards, ensuring the Winged Stretch Net tongue lies flat and snug against your foot. Tie securely to achieve optimal lockdown without overtightening.
Compatibility
- Pitch Type: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. The 18mm metal studs are intended for natural grass fields that are wet, muddy, or yielding.
- Avoid: Do not use these boots on artificial turf (AG), firm ground (FG), or hard ground (HG) pitches, as this can damage the studs, the pitch, and potentially cause injury.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each game or training session, remove excess mud and debris. Use a stiff brush (not wire) to clean the studs and outsole. Wipe the TPU Skin upper with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to crack or stiffen.
- Stud Inspection: Regularly check the metal studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace worn or damaged studs promptly to maintain optimal traction and safety.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, preferably with shoe trees or crumpled newspaper inside to help maintain their shape.
