FAQs
What age group are the Puma FUTURE 9 PLAY boots designed for?
These boots are recommended for older kids, typically between 8 and 16 years old.
What surfaces can I use these FG/AG boots on?
The FG/AG designation means they are suitable for firm natural grass and modern artificial grass pitches.
How do I clean my football boots?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and brush off any excess dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Does the upper contain recycled materials?
Yes, the upper of these boots is made with at least 30% recycled materials.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The boots offer a regular to wide fit, which should accommodate a range of foot shapes comfortably.
What is the benefit of the embossed zones on the upper?
The targeted embossed zones are designed to add grip on the ball, enhancing control and touch during play.
Can I use these boots in wet conditions?
While they can handle some moisture on FG/AG surfaces, they are not specifically designed for very wet or soft ground conditions. For such conditions, SG (Soft Ground) boots are generally recommended.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a balanced fit. Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider using the removable sockliner for a slightly different fit. Allow a break-in period for the upper to mold to your foot.
Reduced grip on the ball.
Check that the embossed zones on the upper are clean. Dirt or debris can accumulate and reduce their effectiveness. Clean the upper gently with a damp cloth.
Boots feel slippery on the pitch.
Confirm the boots are being used on appropriate FG/AG surfaces. Ensure studs are not excessively worn. If the issue persists on suitable surfaces, check for any debris trapped in the stud pattern.
Foot sliding inside the boot.
Tighten the laces further, paying attention to the midfoot area. Ensure the NanoGrip sockliner is correctly positioned. Consider using thicker sports socks if appropriate for comfort and fit.

Lace up the boots snugly, ensuring a comfortable yet secure fit. The regular tongue construction should sit comfortably on the top of the foot.
Compatibility:

Care:
Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
