Product Information

Full details

The OXEN Metasock Football Boots are designed for adult male players seeking a high-performance, wide-fit boot for soft ground. Their key benefit is enhanced speed and agility thanks to an ultralight upper and advanced stability features. A potential caveat is that they are specifically designed for soft natural grass, limiting their versatility on harder pitches. Key features include a Metasock knit upper for a sock-like fit, a six-stud SG soleplate for maximum traction, and D2 Flex technology for responsive acceleration.

FAQs

What type of surface are these boots best suited for?

The OXEN Metasock boots are designed for soft natural grass pitches. The six removable metal studs provide optimal traction in these conditions.

Are these boots suitable for players with wide feet?

Yes, these boots feature an extra-wide last, making them an excellent choice for players with wider feet.

Do I need to break in these boots?

No, these boots are designed for immediate, out-of-the-box use, so you should not need a significant break-in period.

Can I replace the metal studs?

Yes, the boots come with six removable metal studs. You can replace them with other compatible Oxen studs (e.g., standard rugby studs) to suit different playing conditions.

How should I clean and maintain my boots?

Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth after use. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Regularly check and tighten the studs.

What does 'Metasock' refer to?

Metasock refers to the ultralight, sock-like knit upper that provides a snug, second-skin fit, enhancing comfort and ball control.

What is the purpose of the D2 Flex technology?

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

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.

These boots feature a wide fit designed for comfort. If still uncomfortable, ensure laces are adjusted correctly and consider if a different size or width might be more suitable. The Metasock upper will offer some give over time.

Lack of traction on the pitch.

Ensure all six metal studs are properly tightened. Check if the studs are appropriate for the pitch conditions (SG studs are for soft ground). Clean any mud or debris from the studs and soleplate.

Studs feel loose after a game.

Always check and re-tighten studs before and after each use. If studs continue to loosen, inspect them for damage and consider replacing them.

Waterlogging or excessive moisture inside the boot.

Ensure the boots are dried thoroughly after each use. The perforated EVA insole promotes airflow, but proper drying is essential. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced speed and agility due to ultralight construction.
  • Comfortable and secure fit for players with wider feet.
  • Superior traction on soft ground surfaces.
  • Advanced stability features for confident play.
  • Designed for immediate out-of-the-box comfort, no break-in period required.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for soft natural grass; less effective on firm or artificial surfaces.
  • Wide fit may not be suitable for players with narrow feet.
  • Removable studs require correct tightening before each use for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Before the first use, ensure all six removable metal studs are securely tightened using an appropriate stud key. This is crucial for optimal traction and to prevent studs from loosening during play.

Compatibility:

These boots are specifically designed for use on soft natural grass pitches. The SG (Soft Ground) soleplate with metal studs provides the best performance in these conditions. They are not recommended for firm ground, artificial turf, or indoor surfaces, as this can lead to premature wear and potential injury.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Studs: Inspect studs regularly for wear and tear. Clean and re-tighten them as needed. Replace worn studs to maintain optimal performance and safety.
  • Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, ideally in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
