FAQs

Are these boots suitable for all rugby positions?

While designed with speed backs in mind due to their lightweight nature and agility-focused features, players in other positions who prioritize speed and require a wide fit may also find them beneficial on soft ground.

Do I need to break in these boots?

No, the Oxen Metasock boots are designed for immediate, out-of-the-box use, so you do not need to worry about a break-in period before your next game.

Can I use these boots on artificial turf?

These boots are optimized for soft natural grass. Using them on artificial turf may cause premature wear and affect performance and grip. It is recommended to use specific artificial ground (AG) boots for such surfaces.

How do I clean the Metasock upper?

Gently wipe the Metasock upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally.

What type of studs are included?

The boots come with six removable metal studs for soft ground and additional support studs. The soleplate is a mixed-stud configuration, allowing for customization with other compatible studs.

What does 'SG' stand for in the product name?

SG stands for Soft Ground, indicating that these boots are designed for optimal performance and traction on wet, muddy, or soft natural grass pitches.

What is the benefit of the D2 Flex technology?

D2 Flex technology reinforces the rearfoot and midfoot for stability while keeping the forefoot flexible and responsive, enabling elite acceleration and dynamic movement.

Troubleshooting

Studs feel loose

Ensure studs are properly tightened using a stud wrench before and during play. Check if any studs are damaged and require replacement.

Boots feel uncomfortable despite wide fit

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try using different thickness socks. Allow a short period for the boot to adapt to your foot's natural shape.

Traction is poor on wet ground

Verify that the metal studs are correctly installed and tightened. Ensure the studs are not worn down; replace if necessary. Clean any mud buildup from the stud plate.

Feet feel excessively hot or sweaty

The perforated EVA insole promotes airflow, but ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Allow boots to air dry thoroughly after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure all six removable metal studs are securely tightened before each use for optimal performance and traction. Use a stud wrench (sold separately) for proper tightening. The mixed soleplate allows for the selection of either Oxen's speed studs or standard rugby studs, depending on your preference and the playing surface.

Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for soft natural grass (SG) pitches. The stud configuration is optimized for these conditions. They are compatible with standard rugby studs and Oxen's proprietary speed studs.

Care: Clean the boots after each use with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash. Store in a cool, dry place. Check studs regularly for wear and tear and replace as needed.
