Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Loosen the laces adequately before putting on the boots. The streamlined lacing system allows for a snug, custom fit. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across your foot to avoid pressure points, then secure with a double knot.
- Break-in: While designed for comfort, a short break-in period of 1-2 light training sessions can help the synthetic upper mold to your foot's unique shape for optimal performance.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: These boots feature an FG/AG outsole, making them suitable for both Firm Ground (natural grass pitches) and Artificial Ground (synthetic turf fields). Using them on very hard ground, concrete, or indoor surfaces is not recommended as it can damage the studs and outsole.
- Fit: The low-cut slip-on design with an improved heel section and padded collar offers a secure and comfortable fit for adult players of all genders.
Care Instructions
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your PUMA King Match boots:
- Cleaning After Use: Immediately after each use, clean off any mud or debris. Use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the synthetic materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a boot bag can protect them from dust and scratches.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use boot deodorizers.
