FAQs
What does 'FG/AG' mean?
'FG/AG' stands for Firm Ground/Artificial Ground, indicating that these soccer shoes are designed to perform optimally on both natural grass fields that are firm and dry, and on artificial turf surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While the PUMA Future series aims for a versatile fit, the slip-on construction means there is less adjustability than traditional laced boots. Individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on to assess comfort.
How do I maintain the traction of the outsole?
To maintain optimal traction, regularly clean the outsole to remove dirt, mud, and debris. Use a stiff brush or wipe with a damp cloth after each use. A clean outsole ensures the studs can properly grip the playing surface.
What is the benefit of the mid-cut slip-on construction?
The mid-cut slip-on construction provides a seamless, sock-like fit around the ankle, enhancing support and stability during dynamic movements. It also offers a streamlined feel and ease of putting the shoes on.
Do I need to break in these soccer shoes?
Yes, a short break-in period is recommended. This allows the materials to soften and conform to the unique contours of your foot, providing maximum comfort and an optimized fit during gameplay.
Can I use these shoes on indoor courts or street surfaces?
No, these shoes are specifically designed with an FG/AG outsole for firm natural grass and artificial turf. The studs are not suitable for hard indoor court surfaces or abrasive street play, which could damage the outsole and compromise performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct UK size 6. For slip-on designs, the fit is crucial; try different sock thicknesses. Allow for a break-in period, as the upper may soften and adapt to your foot over time.
Lack of grip on the pitch
Verify the playing surface is either firm ground or artificial ground, as these shoes are not designed for soft or extremely wet natural grass. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent mud or debris buildup from hindering traction.
Foot discomfort or blisters during play
Ensure your socks are appropriate for soccer (moisture-wicking, well-padded). Re-evaluate the sizing, as incorrect sizing is a common cause of discomfort. Allow ample time for the shoes to break in, as new footwear can cause initial friction.
Difficulty putting on the shoes
The mid-cut slip-on design provides a snug fit. Use the pull tabs on the heel and tongue (if present) to help slide your foot in. A shoehorn can also assist, especially during the initial break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Try On: When first receiving your PUMA Future 7 Match FG/AG shoes, try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for play. Ensure your heel feels secure and your toes have slight room at the front.
- Break-in Period: These shoes will benefit from a short break-in period. Wear them for light training sessions or casual use before high-intensity matches. This allows the materials to mold to your foot shape, enhancing comfort and fit.
- Lacing (if applicable): While featuring a slip-on design, most versions include a lacing system. Lace them snugly, but not overly tight, to secure the midfoot without restricting circulation.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Designed for adults.
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all players.
- Surfaces: Optimized for Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Ground (AG) pitches.
- Fit: The Future series generally offers a versatile fit. However, individuals with exceptionally wide feet may need to consider if the slip-on mid-cut construction provides adequate room.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris from the outsole and upper. For tougher grime, wipe the shoes down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
- Drying: Always air dry your soccer shoes in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store shoes in a dry place. Consider using a shoe bag to protect them from dirt and damage when not in use.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry your soccer shoes, as this can damage the materials and adhesives, voiding any potential warranty.
