FAQs
What is the main advantage of the FUTURE 9 PLAY boots?
The main advantage is the combination of enhanced ball control through targeted embossed zones and superior agility from the specialized stud configuration, allowing young players to excel creatively on the pitch.
Are these boots suitable for all types of football pitches?
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Grass (AG) surfaces. They are not recommended for very soft ground or indoor courts.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the PUMA sizing chart and measure your child's foot. The boots have a regular to wide fit, but ensuring an accurate measurement is important for optimal performance and comfort.
What does 'Jr.' in the product name signify?
'Jr.' indicates that these boots are specifically designed for junior players, typically recommended for ages 8 to 16.
How should I care for the boots to prolong their life?
Clean them with a damp cloth after use, dry them naturally away from heat, and store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid machine washing.
Can the sockliner be replaced?
Yes, the sockliner is lightweight and removable. It features NanoGrip technology for added security, but it can be replaced with a compatible aftermarket insole if desired.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials?
Using at least 30% recycled materials in the upper contributes to reducing environmental impact and supports more sustainable manufacturing practices by PUMA.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Ensure laces are not over-tightened. Try loosening them and re-tying. The regular to wide fit should accommodate most players, but if persistent, consider the fit around the midfoot and heel.
Reduced ball grip
Ensure the embossed zones on the upper are clean and free of mud or grass. The texture is designed to enhance grip, so cleaning is key.
Discomfort during quick turns
Check that the sockliner is properly seated. The stud pattern is designed for agility; discomfort may indicate an improper fit or insufficient break-in period.
Boots feel slippery on the pitch
Confirm you are using the boots on the intended FG/AG surfaces. Performance may be compromised on very wet or soft ground where different stud types are required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come pre-assembled. Ensure the laces are tied securely for a snug fit, and that the removable sockliner is correctly positioned within the boot.
Compatibility: The FG/AG designation means these boots are suitable for most modern football pitches, including natural grass and artificial grass. They are recommended for players aged 8-16.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable boot bag, to prevent moisture buildup and maintain their condition.
