OXEN Metasock 6 Stud Boots - Black - Size UK 12

No, these boots are specifically designed for soft ground (SG) pitches. They feature six removable metal studs for maximum grip on wet or muddy natural grass. Using them on artificial surfaces can lead to damage to the studs, soleplate, and potentially increase the risk of injury.

The OXEN Metasock boots are designed for immediate, out-of-the-box use. The Metasock upper and flexible forefoot construction aim to provide comfort and performance from the first wear, eliminating the need for a traditional break-in period.

Gently wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the knit material.

Yes, the soleplate is designed to accommodate replaceable studs. You can change the six metal studs with Oxen's speed studs or standard rugby studs (sold separately) to adapt to different pitch conditions or player preferences.

The boots are manufactured using an 'extra-wide last', meaning the overall shape and internal volume are designed to accommodate players who typically require or prefer a wider fitting footwear.

It is recommended to check and tighten all studs before each training session and match to ensure optimal performance and safety. Regularly inspect them for wear and tear.

D2 Flex technology provides targeted support and stability in the rearfoot and midfoot areas, while allowing the forefoot to remain highly flexible and responsive. This design enhances acceleration and agility during play.

The Metasock upper is designed to be a snug, sock-like fit. Ensure studs are correctly tightened. If discomfort persists, consider if the wide fit is sufficient for your foot shape or if insoles need adjustment.

Check that all six metal studs are securely tightened. Inspect studs for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the soleplate and studs are free of mud or debris.

Ensure boots are dried thoroughly after each use. The EVA insole is perforated for airflow, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions can still lead to moisture. Allow ample drying time away from heat.

Stop play and securely re-tighten the studs using a stud key. If a stud continues to loosen, inspect the threading on both the stud and the boot's receptacle for damage.
