Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
To put on your Puma KING ULTIMATE FG/AG boots, simply slide your foot into the knitted low-cut slip-on opening. Ensure your heel is properly seated against the external heel counter. A brief walk or light jog can help the boot conform to your foot shape. It's recommended to wear your preferred football socks to ensure the best fit and comfort.
Compatibility
These boots are explicitly designed for Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces. They are ideal for natural grass pitches that are firm or slightly damp, as well as modern artificial turf pitches. Avoid using them on extremely hard ground, concrete, or indoor court surfaces, as this can damage the studs and outsole, and may void any warranty.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy or artificial pitches, remove excess dirt and debris using a soft brush or cloth. Use a damp cloth with mild soap (if needed) to wipe down the K-BETTER™ upper. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using boot trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your boots in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
- Inspect Studs: Regularly check the conical studs for wear or damage. While durable, excessive wear can impact grip.
