Founded in 1904 by three Englishmen living in New Zealand, Canterbury take their name from the region of the South Island in which the company was established. They started out producing clothing and military uniforms, before eventually striking a watershed deal to make the All Blacks’ rugby kits – a partnership that lasted 75 years, from 1924 to 1999. Seeing great potential in the sport, they expanded their sights to include other rugby uniform, protective gear, balls, casual wear, and boots.
Canterbury’s three flagship boot ranges – the Speed, Stampede, and Phoenix – cover every position on the pitch and every style of play, so you can find your perfect fit whether you’re a powerful forward or an agile back. Worn by Connacht and Ireland star fullback Mack Hansen, Canterbury Speed boots feature ultra-lightweight materials and a tighter fit to aid acceleration and fast changes of direction, essential for pacey backs. The Stampede range offers a reinforced toe and wider fit for strong, combative forwards, and the Phoenix range provides a versatile combination of stability and traction to complement the game of back-rowers.

Ground Type Guide
Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your football boots, but also to avoid the risk of injury.
Using an outsole that isn't designed specifically for the surface on which you are playing may cause premature wear and/or damage that will not be deemed as a fault of manufacture and will prevent the retailer accepting them for a refund or exchange.
Firm Ground
Boots with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural short-grass surfaces that is firm underfoot but may be slightly wet.
Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot.
FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn.
FG boots are not to be used on artificial ground (AG) surfaces as the construction is not designed for the extra friction.
FG boots used on AG surfaces will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
