FAQs

Are these boots suitable for all types of rugby pitches?

No, these boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) natural grass pitches. They provide optimal traction on wet or muddy surfaces but are not ideal for firm ground or artificial turf.

How often should I check the studs?

It is recommended to check and tighten all studs before every match and after any significant break in play. Regular checks ensure optimal performance and safety.

Do I need to break these boots in?

The Oxen Raptor Pro boots are designed for immediate, out-of-the-box use, minimizing the need for an extensive break-in period. The premium calf leather helps them conform to your feet quickly.

Can I replace the metal studs myself?

Yes, the metal studs are removable and replaceable. Ensure you use compatible studs and tighten them correctly using a stud key.

How do I clean and care for the leather upper?

After play, remove mud with a brush or damp cloth. Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution, followed by a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'wide fit' mean for these boots?

The 'wide fit' designation indicates that these boots offer more volume and width across the foot compared to standard-fit boots, providing enhanced comfort for players who need or prefer extra space.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made from premium calf leather, offering a soft, flexible, and comfortable fit that adapts to the player's foot.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are using the correct size. The wide fit design should offer comfort; allow a short period for the leather to mold to your foot. Check stud tightness, as incorrect placement could affect fit.

Studs are loose or falling out

Check all studs before each use and tighten them securely with a stud key. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris. If a stud consistently loosens, inspect the thread in the soleplate for damage.

Leather upper feels stiff

Clean the leather with a suitable conditioner or cream after drying. This will restore suppleness. Avoid exposing the boots to excessive heat during drying.

Pitches are too hard for these boots

These boots are designed for soft ground. For firmer pitches, consider using a different set of boots with shorter studs or a different soleplate configuration to prevent damage and ensure safety.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on soft, wet ground due to metal studs.
  • Comfortable and supportive for long matches.
  • Wide fit accommodates a broader range of foot shapes.
  • High-quality leather upper provides a premium feel and fit.
  • Durable construction for rigorous play.

Cons

  • Metal studs require regular checking and tightening.
  • May not be suitable for firm or artificial ground.
  • Leather upper requires proper care to maintain its condition.
  • Availability might be limited to specific retailers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Stud Insertion: Ensure all removable metal studs are securely screwed into the soleplate. Tighten them firmly but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the threads.
  2. Pre-Use Check: Before the first use and before every subsequent game, check that all studs are still tight. Use a stud key if necessary.

Compatibility:

  • These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) natural grass pitches.
  • They are not recommended for use on firm ground or artificial turf, as this can lead to premature stud wear and potential injury.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove excess mud with a brush or damp cloth. Clean the leather upper gently with a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
  4. Stud Maintenance: Clean the studs and threads regularly. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the threads if they become difficult to turn.
