FAQs

What does FG/AG mean?

FG/AG stands for Firm Ground/Artificial Ground. This means the outsole is designed with a stud configuration that provides optimal performance and traction on both dry or slightly damp natural grass pitches (Firm Ground) and modern 4G artificial turf pitches (Artificial Ground).

Can I use these boots on older artificial turf (2G/3G) or indoor courts?

While the boots are designed for AG (4G) surfaces, using them on older 2G/3G artificial turf or hard indoor court surfaces is not recommended. It can lead to excessive wear on the studs and outsole, potentially causing discomfort or injury, and may void any warranty.

How do I choose the correct size?

We recommend trying on the boots with the type of socks you typically wear for soccer. The fit should be snug, with your toes close to the end, but not uncomfortably jammed. The adaptive upper is designed to mold to your foot for a personalized feel.

How do I clean my PUMA Future 7 Play boots?

After each use, wipe off dirt and mud with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a soft brush. Ensure all debris is removed from the studs. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash.

Are these boots waterproof?

The upper is constructed from engineered mesh and synthetic materials which offer some water resistance against light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof, and playing in heavy rain may result in wet feet. Always ensure they are dried properly after use in wet conditions.

Do I need to 'break in' these boots?

While the adaptive upper offers immediate comfort, a short break-in period is often beneficial. Wearing them for a few light training sessions or walks before your first full match allows the materials to fully conform to your foot shape, optimizing comfort and fit.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too stiff or cause discomfort during initial wear.

This is common with new soccer shoes. Wear them for short periods during light training sessions or walks to help the adaptive upper mold to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate soccer socks to minimize friction.

Reduced grip or slipping on the pitch.

Check the playing surface. Ensure it's a firm natural ground or 4G artificial grass, as intended for FG/AG outsoles. Clean the studs thoroughly after each use, as accumulated mud or debris can significantly reduce traction. Inspect for any worn or damaged studs.

Unpleasant odor developing inside the boots.

After each use, remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and boots to air dry completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda inside the boots overnight to absorb moisture and odors.

Upper material shows signs of wear or scuffing quickly.

While durable, synthetic materials can show wear, especially in high-contact areas. Always use the boots on appropriate surfaces (FG/AG) and avoid abrasive surfaces like concrete. Clean regularly to prevent dirt particles from abrading the material over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile outsole suitable for both firm natural grass and artificial turf.
  • Enhanced ball control due to engineered upper textures.
  • Adaptive and supportive fit for diverse foot shapes.
  • Lightweight design promotes agility and quick movements.
  • Durable construction for consistent on-pitch performance.

Cons

  • May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Adaptive fit, while versatile, might not perfectly suit every unique foot shape without personal trial.

  • Synthetic upper may offer slightly less natural touch compared to premium leather options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Getting started with your PUMA Future 7 Play FG/AG Soccer Shoes is straightforward. Simply ensure you choose the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit. While the adaptive upper will mold to your foot over time, some players may prefer to wear them for a few light training sessions before a full match to 'break them in' completely.

Compatibility

  • Playing Surfaces: These boots feature an FG/AG outsole, making them suitable for:
  • Firm Natural Ground (FG): Typically natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp.
  • Artificial Grass (AG): Specifically 4G (third and fourth generation) artificial turf pitches. Using them on older 2G/3G turf or other hard surfaces can cause premature wear to the studs and may void warranty.
  • Socks: We recommend wearing performance-enhancing soccer socks designed for breathability and cushioning to complement the boot's fit and prevent blisters.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your soccer shoes:

  1. Cleaning After Use: After each use, wipe down the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush or old toothbrush.
  2. Stud Cleaning: Pay attention to the outsole, ensuring mud and debris are removed from between the studs to maintain optimal traction.
  3. Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
  4. Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight.
  5. Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe bag can protect them from scratches and keep your gym bag clean.
