Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Putting On: Due to the knitted low-cut slip-on construction, gently stretch the opening of the boot and slide your foot in. Ensure your heel is properly seated against the external heel counter.
- Lacing: Tighten the laces evenly across your instep, securing a snug but comfortable fit. Double-knotting can prevent untying during play.
Compatibility
These PUMA KING ULTIMATE boots are specifically designed with an FG/AG soleplate. This means they are optimal for:
- Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp.
- Artificial Ground (AG): Modern synthetic turf fields.
They are not recommended for soft, muddy ground (SG) as the stud configuration is not suited for such conditions and could lead to reduced traction or damage to the boots.
Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning After Use: After each match or training session, remove excess dirt and mud using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a boot bag for protection during transport.
- Material Specifics: The K-BETTER™ upper is designed for durability, but regular cleaning helps maintain its integrity and touch properties.
