FAQs
What age range are these boots recommended for?
These PUMA FUTURE 9 MATCH FG/AG boots are specifically recommended for youth players, typically between the ages of 8 and 16 years old.
Are these boots suitable for all types of football pitches?
The FG/AG soleplate is designed for firm natural grass and artificial grass. They are not recommended for very soft, muddy ground or hard, dry surfaces.
How do I clean my football boots?
Clean your boots with a soft brush or damp cloth after each use. Use mild soap and water if needed, and always air dry them naturally away from direct heat.
What does FG/AG mean?
FG/AG stands for Firm Ground/Artificial Grass. This indicates the soleplate is designed to perform well on both types of modern football surfaces.
Does the upper contain recycled materials?
Yes, the upper of these boots is made with at least 30% recycled materials.
What is the main benefit of the embossed zones on the upper?
The targeted embossed zones enhance grip on the ball, providing better control for dribbling, passing, and shooting.
How does the boot ensure a secure fit?
The boot features a combination of a soft mesh upper, a stretchy knitted collar, mid-cut construction, and support tape across the midfoot for a flexible, secure, and locked-down feel.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-lace them, ensuring an even distribution of tension. Try wearing thinner socks or allow the boots to break in over a few training sessions.
Traction is poor on the pitch.
Ensure the pitch conditions are suitable for FG/AG studs (firm natural grass or artificial grass). Clean any mud or debris from the studs. If the issue persists on appropriate surfaces, the studs may be worn down.
Stitching appears to be coming loose.
Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed carefully. If there is significant damage, contact customer support.
Difficulty putting the boots on.
Ensure the knitted collar is fully stretched open before inserting your foot. Using a shoehorn can help ease the process without stressing the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These football boots come ready to wear. Ensure they are laced correctly to provide a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust the lacing to accommodate your foot shape, tightening evenly across the midfoot.
Compatibility: The FG/AG (Firm Ground/Artificial Grass) soleplate is designed for optimal performance on firm natural grass pitches and modern artificial grass surfaces. Avoid using these boots on very wet, muddy, or extremely hard, dry grounds, as this can affect performance and potentially damage the soleplate.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the shape.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can help protect them and keep them clean.
- Laces: Clean laces separately and allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.
