FAQs

What type of pitch are these boots best for?

These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, which are typically wet, muddy, and made of natural grass.

Can I use these boots on artificial turf?

No, these boots are not suitable for artificial turf. The stud configuration is designed for natural soft ground and can be damaged or perform poorly on artificial surfaces.

How do I clean the boots?

After playing, remove excess mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

What does 'soft ground' mean in terms of rugby boots?

Soft ground boots have longer, often metal, studs designed to dig into wet, muddy turf to provide maximum traction and stability.

How long should I expect the boots to last?

Durability depends on usage intensity and pitch conditions. With proper care, they are built for the demands of competitive rugby.

Are there different stud options available?

This model is designed for soft ground. For other conditions, Canterbury may offer different models or stud configurations.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Loosen the laces and re-adjust for a more comfortable fit. Consider wearing the boots for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in.

Lack of traction on soft ground.

Ensure the pitch conditions are genuinely soft ground. Clean any mud or debris from the studs, as build-up can impede grip.

Studs feel loose or damaged.

Inspect studs for damage. If loose, attempt to tighten them if possible (depending on stud type) or contact customer support for advice on replacement or repair.

Upper material feels stiff.

The synthetic upper may require a break-in period. Wear them for training sessions before a match to allow the material to mold to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the boots are laced correctly for a snug, supportive fit before each use. Adjust the laces to accommodate your foot shape, paying attention to the forefoot and ankle areas for optimal lockdown.

Compatibility: These boots are specifically engineered for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches, typically made of natural grass that is wet or muddy. They are not recommended for use on firm, dry, or artificial grass surfaces, as this can lead to reduced performance and potential damage to the studs.

Care: After each use, especially on muddy pitches, clean the boots thoroughly. Remove excess mud with a brush or damp cloth. Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Check the studs for any debris and ensure they are securely attached. Store in a cool, dry place.
