Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Upon first wear, ensure the boots are laced snugly but comfortably. The FUZIONFIT360 upper will adapt to your foot over a few training sessions. Some players prefer to wear the boots for short periods initially to allow for this adaptation. Try different lacing patterns to find the most secure and comfortable fit for your foot shape. The micro-perforated heel padding is designed to minimize heel slippage, but proper lacing is key to maximizing this benefit.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces. This means they are ideal for natural grass pitches that are firm and dry, and for modern 4G artificial turf. Do not use these boots on soft, muddy natural grass (SG) or indoor (IC) surfaces, as this can lead to reduced performance, potential injury, and accelerated wear on the studs.
Care
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your Puma Future 7 Match FG/AG Soccer Shoes, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud from the upper and outsole using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe the entire boot with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution, but avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight, radiators, or other heat sources, as this can damage the materials and cause cracking or shrinking. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. A boot bag can protect them from dust and damage when not in use.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your soccer boots in a washing machine or dryer.
