FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The FUZIONFIT3 upper is designed to be adaptive. While it accommodates various foot shapes, individuals with exceptionally wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.
How durable is the GripControl Pro finish?
The GripControl Pro finish is designed for durability through regular play. However, to maintain its effectiveness, clean the boots regularly with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive materials.
Can I use these boots on artificial grass?
No, these boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) and should not be used on artificial grass (AG) or other surfaces, as this can damage the soleplate and studs.
What does 'FG' stand for?
'FG' stands for Firm Ground, indicating the intended playing surface for these football boots – typically natural grass that is well-maintained and not excessively wet or muddy.
How do I clean the recycled materials in the upper?
The upper, including recycled components, should be cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the boots.
What is the benefit of the 3D FUZIONPODS?
The 3D FUZIONPODS provide localized protection against impact in the forefoot area and also allow for natural foot flexibility, enhancing both comfort and performance.
Are these boots endorsed by any professional players?
Yes, this range of Puma Future boots is endorsed by professional athletes such as Neymar Jr, Julia Grosso, Jack Grealish, Laia Aleixandri, and Kai Havertz.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the boots with your usual football socks for a few training sessions to allow the FUZIONFIT3 upper to adapt to your foot. Ensure laces are not over-tightened.
Reduced ball grip or control
Ensure the GripControl Pro finish on the upper is clean. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
Slipping or lack of traction on firm ground
Check that the studs on the 360 Agility Soleplate are clean and free from mud or debris. Ensure the boots are being used on appropriate firm ground surfaces.
Wear and tear on the soleplate after limited use
Confirm that the boots are only being used on firm ground pitches and not on harder or artificial surfaces, which can cause premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Try on the boots with your preferred football socks to assess fit.
If needed, utilize the lace-up closure for a customized lockdown.
Compatibility:
These boots are specifically designed for Firm Ground (FG) pitches. Use on natural grass that is dry and not overly long.
Avoid use on artificial grass (AG), hard ground, or indoor courts, as this can damage the soleplate and studs, potentially voiding the warranty.
Care Instructions:
Cleaning: After use, gently remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Stuff boots with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
