Canterbury Rugby Boots

No Fluff. Just Function.

Canterbury boots are made for tough pitches and tougher players. No fuss, no gimmicks — just proper grip, solid fit, and support where it counts. Whether you're grafting up front or covering ground out wide, there’s a pair here that gets the job done.

Stampede – For the Tight Five

If your game’s built around scrummaging, clearing out, and heavy contact, the Stampede gives you what you need underfoot. The wide fit keeps you steady when pressure comes on, the 8-stud plate locks you in during set-piece, and the upper holds firm when the collisions start stacking up.

Trusted by the likes of Adam Radwan and Jodie Ounsley, this boot’s for players who spend more time in the contest than outside it.

Speed – For Players Who Move First

Fast feet. Quick turns. The Speed range keeps weight low and lockdown tight, ideal for wings, full-backs, and mobile flankers. Every detail’s about helping you react faster, accelerate sooner, and change direction without slipping a step.

Worn by sharp movers like Sevu Reece, Brad Shields, and Christian Lio-Willie, this is the go-to for players who stay one step ahead.

Phoenix – For Those Who Do It All

Ruck, run, repeat. Phoenix is the balanced choice for players who cover everything — jackals, tackles, carries, and kicks. With a mix of strength and flexibility, it holds up through the most demanding phases.

That’s why it’s backed by all-rounders like Mack Hansen and Justin Tipuric, who don’t fit neatly into one role — and don’t need boots that do either.

From Match Day to Midweek

Canterbury boots come in a range of options: Elite and Pro pairs use lighter uppers and sharper tech for game day, while Team and Raze versions are ideal for training, youth players, and weekly graft.

Ready for Soft Ground

Every pair in the range is shaped for soft, shifting surfaces — fitted with metal studs and made to hold firm when the ground gives way.

  • Are Canterbury rugby boots good for speed?

    Yes, the Canterbury Speed range is specifically designed for fast players, offering a lightweight build, snug fit, and excellent grip to support quick movements and acceleration.

    Are Canterbury boots suitable for all playing positions?

    Yes, Canterbury offers boots tailored for different positions. The Stampede is ideal for forwards needing power and stability, the Speed is designed for backs and mobile forwards, and the Phoenix provides a balanced option for all-round play.

    Which Canterbury Rugby Boots are best suited for Backs?

    If you’re a back who relies on speed, balance, and quick footwork, the Canterbury Speed range is shaped around exactly that style of play. These boots are lightweight, close-fitting, and made to keep you sharp on the turn — ideal when stepping into space or recovering in defence. The stud layout gives you the bite you need when accelerating or changing direction at pace, especially on soft ground.

    Worn by fast movers like Sevu Reece and Christian Lio-Willie, the Speed silo is a top pick for wings, full-backs, and mobile flankers who stay on the front foot.

    If your role covers more ground — from kicking and passing to tackles and carries — the Phoenix range offers a more balanced option with extra structure, while still staying responsive underfoot.

    Which Canterbury Rugby Boots are best suited for Forwards?

    Forwards who operate in tight, physical areas of the pitch should look at the Canterbury Stampede range. These boots are all about stability, grip, and staying grounded when the pressure comes on. The wide fit gives you a solid base in scrums and mauls, while the 8-stud configuration offers maximum traction during set-piece and contact phases.

    This is the go-to option for props, hookers, and second-row players who spend more time contesting collisions than covering distance. Trusted by names like Jodie Ounsley and Adam Radwan, the Stampede is made for the heavy work.

    If you’re a more mobile forward — someone who shifts between carries, clear-outs, and covering space — the Phoenix range offers a strong balance between support and freedom to move, making it ideal for back-row players who do a bit of everything.
