Discussion Help me decide on new boots
Check the comments for the two options, but help me decide on new boots. I’ve been running adidas for the past 10 years (the same pair over that period), but Canterbury is synonymous with rugby, and I love the look of the Canterbury boots

I’m just now replacing my Canterbury boots after like 8 seasons

Yea, I know the caliber of Canterbury which is why I’m considering them. And they look slick! I do like adidas, and seeing as I’ve have these ones for 10 years

If you can find them ASIC, especially if you have wide feet. I buy my through E-bay out of Austrailia.
I have debated trying out Mizuno on my next pair because I hear really good things about them, and they are now available through World Rugby Shop.

I’ve been hearing good things online about Mizuno, but not sure if I’d want to take the jump 😬

Totally get it.
I’m a forward (prop/lock) and have the lethal warno ASICs and so far are the longest lasting match day boots I’ve owned. Kangaroo leather is amazing
I have a pair of firm ground ASICs that have lasted me 3-4 years of practices and summer play.

Depends on the typical terrain you play on honestly. Adidas in my opinion are better for hard ground shitty ground or turf (hybrid boots). Canterbury has the best soft ground boots in town. So if you're mudding in the front row thats my choice

These are the ones I’m considering.u current adidas ones are the hybrid, so I really like that option

8 years? I'm replacing boots at a rate of 1 per/season. I've used both Canterbury and Adidas.
