Full details
These OXEN Metasock rugby boots are designed for adult male players seeking high-performance, wide-fit speed boots for soft ground. Their key benefit is enhancing pace and agility with an ultralight, unrestricted feel. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific soft ground stud configuration which may require adjustments for different pitch conditions. Key features include a Metasock knit upper for a sock-like fit, D2 Flex technology for optimized foot movement, and a mixed soleplate with removable studs for adaptable traction.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all rugby pitches?
These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) natural grass pitches. They feature removable metal studs for optimal grip on wet or muddy surfaces. They may not be suitable for firm ground or artificial turf.
Do I need to break in these boots?
No, the OXEN Metasock boots are designed for immediate, out-of-the-box use. You should not need to wear them for an extended period before playing.
How do I clean the Metasock upper?
The Metasock upper can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the boots are dry before storing.
Can I replace the studs?
Yes, the boots come with six removable metal studs. You can replace them with other compatible Oxen speed studs or standard rugby studs depending on your preference and pitch conditions.
What does 'wide fit' mean for these boots?
The boots are manufactured using an extra-wide last, providing a more accommodating fit for players who typically find standard width boots too narrow or uncomfortable.
How often should I check the tightness of the studs?
It is recommended to check and tighten the studs before every use. They can loosen during intense play.
What is D2 Flex Technology?
D2 Flex Technology is a design feature that stabilizes the rearfoot and midfoot areas of the boot while maintaining flexibility in the forefoot. This combination aids in quick acceleration and stable support during play.
Troubleshooting
Studs feel loose during play
Ensure all studs are properly tightened with a stud key before each use. Re-tighten if they become loose during a match.
Boots feel uncomfortable or tight
Verify that you have selected the correct size. These boots feature a wide fit; if you have very narrow feet, they might feel too spacious. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug fit.
Traction is poor on the pitch
Confirm you are using the correct stud type for the pitch conditions. For very soft or wet ground, ensure all metal studs are installed. Clean any debris from the studs and soleplate.
Water or mud entering the boot
Ensure studs are securely fitted. After play, clean the boots thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely, removing studs during the drying process.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhances speed and agility with ultralight materials.
- Provides excellent stability and support for dynamic movements.
- Offers a comfortable, secure fit with the sock-like upper and wide last.
- Adaptable traction on soft ground with removable metal studs.
- Ready to use immediately, requiring no break-in period.
Cons
- Specific soft ground stud configuration may not suit all pitch types.
- Removable studs require correct tightening before each use for optimal performance.
- The knit upper, while comfortable, may offer less protection against heavy tackles compared to traditional materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before your first use and before each subsequent game, ensure all six metal studs are securely tightened. Use a stud key to achieve the correct tension. The mixed soleplate allows for customization; you can choose to use Oxen's speed studs or standard rugby studs based on pitch conditions and personal preference (studs may be sold separately).
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) rugby pitches with natural grass. The mixed stud configuration is intended for these conditions. For harder or artificial surfaces, consider alternative stud options or boot types.
Care: After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Clean the boots with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place. Ensure studs are removed before cleaning to prevent moisture from entering the boot through the stud holes.
