OXEN Rugby Boots

About

What is Oxen Metasock Technology? The Metasock is Oxen's defining feature and what separates them from every other rugby boot on the market. Where conventional boots use a fixed upper built on a standardised last - which means your foot either fits the last well or it doesn't - the Metasock uses an integrated Lycra sock construction that conforms to the shape of your foot. The result is a close, second-skin fit that reduces internal movement, eliminates pressure points from a boot that doesn't suit your foot shape, and allows natural flex through the foot and ankle. It's particularly valuable for players with wider feet or unusual foot shapes who have always found conventional boots uncomfortable. The Metasock doesn't require a break-in period in the same way - it adapts to you from the first session rather than the other way around. We regularly carry discounted Oxen stock including Metasock and Meta X colourways at reduced prices. Browse our rugby boots sale for current offers. The Oxen Metasock Range - SG, FG and AG The Metasock boot is available across three outsole configurations, covering every surface you're likely to play on. Metasock SG The soft ground version uses metal screw-in studs for wet, heavy natural grass - the standard choice for most UK club players through the main season. The Metasock SG combines the adaptive upper with a six-stud mix outsole suited to backs and mobile forwards. Also availble in 8 stud for props and second-rows. Metasock FG The firm ground version uses moulded rubber studs for harder, drier pitches in summer and on artificial surfaces where metal studs aren't appropriate. Same Metasock upper, different outsole. Metasock AG The artificial ground version is specifically configured for 3G and 4G pitches - a shorter, denser stud pattern optimised for the artificial surface rather than natural grass. If your club trains on a 3G pitch year-round, the AG is worth considering alongside an SG boot for matchdays. Oxen Meta X The Meta X i
