Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Fit
Upon receiving your Puma Future 8 Match boots, ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. The adaptive mesh and knit upper are designed to mold to your foot over a short period. For optimal lockdown, tighten the laces, but remember these boots can also be worn *without laces* if preferred, offering a customizable feel. The women's specific fit is tailored to a regular to wide foot shape.
Compatibility
These boots feature an FG/AG soleplate, making them suitable for use on both:
- Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches that are firm and not waterlogged.
- Artificial Ground (AG): Modern synthetic turf surfaces.
Using them on other surfaces like concrete or indoor courts is not recommended as it can damage the soleplate and compromise performance.
Care Instructions
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your boots:
- Clean After Each Use: Remove excess dirt and grass using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Rinse Gently: If very muddy, rinse with cold water. Do not submerge them or use hot water.
- Air Dry: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials.
- Stuff for Shape: Stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their original shape while drying.
- Store Properly: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Inspect Regularly: Check studs and upper for wear and tear, especially after intense matches.
