Oxen Meta X 6 Stud Kids Soft Ground Rugby Boots
SKU: 67665 - 4 UK
Why is ground type important?
Soft ground
Should only be used on natural grass pitches that are soft, wet, or muddy. The long, often replaceable metal studs provide extra grip and stop you from slipping in heavy ground conditions.
WHY NOT OTHER SURFACES:
On firm or artificial surfaces, the studs don’t penetrate, making them unstable and uncomfortable; they can also damage synthetic turf and increase the risk of injury.
Firm ground
Should only be used on natural grass pitches in dry or moderately firm conditions. They usually have molded studs or blades that balance traction and comfort without sinking too deep.
WHY NOT OTHER SURFACES:
On soft ground, they don’t give enough grip and you’ll slide around. On artificial pitches, the stud pattern can cause excessive pressure on joints and wear down too quickly.
Artificial ground
Should only be used on 3G or 4G artificial turf pitches. Their shorter, more numerous studs are designed to evenly spread pressure and give grip without tearing up the surface.
WHY NOT OTHER SURFACES:
On natural grass, especially soft ground, they won’t dig in enough to provide stability. On firm grass, they wear down quickly and don’t deliver the same durability or traction as FG boots.
