PUMA Ultra 5 Pro FG/AG Soccer Shoe - White - 6.5 UK

The PUMA Ultra 5 Pro FG/AG boots are designed for use on both Firm Ground (FG), which includes natural, dry grass pitches, and Artificial Ground (AG), modern synthetic turf fields.

These boots feature a regular to narrow fit. It's recommended to consult PUMA's official sizing chart and consider trying them on, if possible. If you have wider feet, you might find them snug, so a break-in period is especially important.

GripControl Pro skin is a special textured coating applied to the upper of the boot. Its purpose is to enhance your control and touch on the ball, providing better grip during dribbling, passing, and shooting.

PWRTAPE is an integrated support technology within the boot's structure. It provides targeted reinforcement to key areas of your foot, offering improved stability and lockdown during explosive movements and quick changes of direction.

No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash your PUMA Ultra 5 Pro boots. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the boot. Always clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

> Info needed: While the materials offer some resistance to moisture, these boots are not fully waterproof. They are designed to repel light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may result in water penetration. Always air dry thoroughly after playing in wet conditions.

The break-in period can vary per individual and foot type due to the snug, slip-on construction. Generally, a few light training sessions or about 2-3 hours of casual wear should be sufficient for the boots to mold to your feet and become comfortable.

The PUMA Ultra 5 Pro features a regular to narrow fit and slip-on construction, which can feel snug initially. Allow for a break-in period of a few light sessions. Ensure you're wearing appropriate thin-to-medium thickness soccer socks. If discomfort persists after breaking in, consider if the narrow fit is suitable for your foot type.

First, ensure the pitch surface is either firm natural grass or artificial turf, as these boots are designed for FG/AG. Regularly clean the FastTrax studs of any debris, mud, or artificial turf pellets that might reduce traction. Check for excessive wear on the studs; heavily worn studs will reduce grip.

While the GripControl Pro skin enhances control, consistent practice is key. Ensure your technique is sound. Also, check that the boot upper is clean, as dirt or mud can diminish the effectiveness of the grip texture. Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal ball feel.

The PWRTAPE support is designed for stability. Ensure the boots are laced snugly (if applicable) and that your foot is not sliding inside the boot. Check your chosen size; an ill-fitting boot (too large) can lead to instability. Also, consider the condition of the playing surface, as extremely uneven ground can challenge any shoe's stability features.

This is common with athletic footwear. Always air dry your boots thoroughly after each use, ensuring they are not left in a damp environment. Remove the insoles to allow them to dry separately. You can use anti-odor sprays or place baking soda sachets inside the boots overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize smells.
