FAQs

Are these boots suitable for firm or artificial ground?

No, the Oxen Metasock 6 Stud SG boots are specifically designed for soft ground conditions. Using them on firm or artificial ground may lead to reduced performance, increased wear, and potential injury.

How do I change the studs?

You will need a rugby stud key. Insert the key into the stud and turn counter-clockwise to remove. To install new studs, screw them in clockwise until they are firmly tightened.

What is the benefit of the D2 Flex technology?

D2 Flex technology provides a balance of support and flexibility. It reinforces the rearfoot and midfoot for stability during dynamic movements while keeping the forefoot responsive for explosive acceleration.

Do I need to break in these boots?

No, these boots are designed for immediate, out-of-the-box use, meaning they should feel comfortable and perform well from your first wear.

What does 'wide fit' mean for these boots?

The 'wide fit' indicates that the boots have been manufactured on an extra-wide last, providing more space across the forefoot and midfoot to accommodate players with naturally wider feet.

Can I use these boots for training as well as matches?

Yes, while optimized for match performance on soft ground, they can be used for training sessions held on similar surfaces to maintain performance and familiarize yourself with the fit and feel.

How often should I check the tightness of the studs?

It is recommended to check and tighten the studs before every use to ensure optimal grip, stability, and safety.

Troubleshooting

Studs feel loose or are difficult to tighten

Ensure the stud threads are clean and free of debris. Use a proper stud key and apply firm, consistent pressure. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable

While designed for an immediate fit, slight initial tightness can occur. Wear them around the house for short periods. The wide-fit last should provide comfort for most wider feet, but if persistent discomfort occurs, consider if the size is appropriate or if the specific fit does not suit your foot shape.

Traction is poor on the pitch

Confirm that the correct studs are installed for the ground conditions (metal studs for soft ground). Ensure studs are properly tightened. Clean any mud or debris from the stud plate.

Insole feels slippery or causes moisture buildup

The perforated EVA insole is designed for breathability. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Allow boots to air dry completely after use to prevent internal moisture accumulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional speed and agility due to ultralight construction.
  • Superior traction on soft ground for confident play.
  • Excellent stability for tackling and quick movements.
  • Comfortable, sock-like fit enhances ball control.
  • Suitable for players with wider feet.
  • Designed for immediate use with no break-in period required.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for soft ground; performance may be suboptimal on firm surfaces.
  • Removable studs require correct tightening before each use for optimal performance and safety.
  • Specific stud configuration may not suit all player preferences or positional requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Initial Setup:

  1. Before your first game or training session, ensure all six metal studs are securely tightened using an appropriate stud key. This is crucial for optimal performance and safety.
  2. Familiarize yourself with the mixed soleplate; you can swap between the provided speed studs and standard rugby studs based on the ground conditions.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby matches on natural grass.
  • The mixed soleplate allows for interchangeability with other compatible Oxen studs, provided they fit the threading.

Care:

  • After use, remove excess mud and dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents.
  • Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Periodically check the studs for wear and tear and replace them as needed.
