Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
The Puma Ultra 5 Ultimate FG boots feature a low-cut slip-on construction for easy wearing. When first putting them on, ensure your foot slides comfortably into the boot. The integrated NanoGrip sockliner will help secure your foot once laced. Lace them firmly but not overly tight to allow for circulation and natural foot movement. We recommend wearing them for short periods during training sessions initially to 'break them in' and allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These boots are specifically designed for FG (Firm Ground) surfaces. This means they are optimal for use on natural grass pitches that are dry or slightly damp. Using them on artificial grass (AG), soft ground (SG), or very hard surfaces is not recommended as it can prematurely wear down the studs, reduce performance, and may void any warranty.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft sponge. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keep them in a boot bag to protect them from scuffs and scratches during transport.
- Longevity: Regularly check laces for wear and replace if frayed. Inspect studs for damage or excessive wear, especially if playing on harder-than-recommended surfaces.
