FAQs
What does FG/AG mean for these soccer shoes?
FG/AG stands for 'Firm Ground / Artificial Ground'. This means the shoe's outsole and stud configuration are designed to perform optimally and safely on both natural grass pitches that are firm and dry, and on modern artificial turf surfaces.
Do I need to break in these PUMA Ultra 5 Pro shoes?
Yes, it is recommended to break in your new PUMA Ultra 5 Pro shoes. Wear them for light training sessions or shorter periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape, which will improve comfort and performance during full match play.
How do I clean my PUMA Ultra 5 Pro soccer shoes?
After each use, brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the upper. Clean between the studs with a brush. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the benefit of PWRTAPE support?
PWRTAPE support is strategically integrated into the shoe's design to provide enhanced stability and lock your foot in place. This is crucial for maintaining balance and support during quick changes of direction, powerful kicks, and explosive movements.
Can I use these shoes on muddy fields?
No, these shoes are not ideal for muddy or soft ground. The FG/AG soleplate is designed for firm, dry natural grass and artificial turf. Using them on soft ground can lead to reduced traction and potentially damage the studs or soleplate.
How can I ensure the best fit for my PUMA Ultra 5 Pro shoes?
For the best fit, try on the shoes with the type of socks you typically wear for soccer. Ensure your heel feels secure, and you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Lacing patterns can also be adjusted for a more personalized feel.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the field
Ensure the FastTrax studs are clean and free of mud or debris. Check that you are playing on an appropriate surface (FG or AG).
Discomfort or blisters during play
Allow for a proper break-in period. Ensure you are wearing suitable athletic socks. Re-evaluate your lacing pattern for a more comfortable fit.
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive
During the break-in period, the shoes will mold to your feet. Try a looser lacing pattern for wider feet. If discomfort persists after several wears, ensure the size is correct.
Ball control feels less effective than expected
Clean the GripControl Pro skin on the upper with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or residue that might be affecting grip. Ensure the ball is also clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup (Break-in)
- First Wear: Wear your new PUMA Ultra 5 Pro shoes during light training sessions or for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet.
- Gradual Increase: Gradually increase the duration and intensity of wear over several sessions. This helps prevent discomfort or blisters.
- Lacing: Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: These shoes are designed for use on Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Ground (AG). Using them on inappropriate surfaces (e.g., very soft, wet grass or abrasive concrete) can damage the studs and outsole, reducing performance and durability.
- Fit: The PUMA Ultra 5 Pro offers a performance-oriented fit. Ensure you select the correct size, as an ill-fitting shoe can lead to discomfort and reduced performance. (Size 13 UK is this specific variant).
Care & Maintenance
To maximize the lifespan and performance of your PUMA Ultra 5 Pro shoes:
- Cleaning After Each Use: Immediately after playing, knock off any loose dirt or grass from the studs and outsole.
- Upper Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently wipe down the mesh upper and GripControl Pro skin. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Stud Cleaning: Use a brush or old toothbrush to clean dirt from between the studs.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or stuff shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a shoe bag to protect them during transport.
- Inspect Regularly: Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage to the studs, stitching, or upper. Early detection can help prevent further issues.
