Review: Canterbury Control Club 6 Stud Boot

The Canterbury 2014-2015 boot range features a number of boots that have been tailored to the needs of different rugby positions, demonstrating the depth of Canterbury’s understanding of the small but important details that make each individual player tick. This attention to detail can be seen across the four styles that make up the range.

The Control boot caters for players in the Backs, specifically the kicker, with its narrow fit and lightweight feel. These technically engineered rugby boots feature reinforcement zones for increased stability and flexibility in the boot. The six-stud design delivers good flexibility towards the toe, without compromising on stability in the mid-foot and heel. The supple material ensures excellent comfort and improves overall kicking power and accuracy.

DESIGN

Canterbury have stepped out of their comfort zone in terms of design with these boots. They are one of the more aesthetically pleasing pair of boots that they have released.  The red & blue design on the black base is rather eye catching and will go down well with the typical show boating back. (or forwards even)

PRICE

For £55.99 you get what you pay for or even a little bit more. The boots do feel very light but are well made for striking a ball which is what they were designed to do. They will serve you well for the price and have a comfortable feel to them.

COMFORT

Comfort is definitely my favourite thing about these boots. They are with a light and soft upper which allows them to fit your own foot. When I have trained in them it felt like some of my favourite pairs of boots that I have owned before.

DURABILITY

The only downside to these boots is the durability, the light upper which is good for comfort and clean striking of a ball will struggle to endure a full season of wear and tear. In saying that, for $55.99 you can’t go too far wrong and could buy two pairs to last the season if you love them that much.

RRP: £55.99

The Canterbury Control Club boots are available from Canterbury.com plus leading online sports retailers and high street independent sports shops.
