The PUMA Ultra 5 Pro FG/AG Soccer Shoe is engineered for players seeking a competitive edge through speed and superior ball control on both firm natural and artificial grounds. Its lightweight construction and specialized traction deliver rapid acceleration, though the low-cut, slip-on design offers a regular to narrow fit, which might not suit all foot types. This guide helps you maximize the performance of your PUMA Ultra 5 Pro cleats.
These cleats combine innovative design with performance-driven materials to enhance your game:
Lightweight Mesh Upper: Provides a comfortable and agile feel, reducing bulk to maximize speed and responsiveness on the pitch.
GripControl Pro Skin: Strategically applied to the upper, this feature enhances touch and control over the ball, crucial for dribbling and accurate passing.
SPEEDSYSTEM Outsole with FastTrax Studs: Engineered for explosive acceleration and optimal traction on firm ground (FG) and artificial grass (AG) surfaces, allowing quick directional changes.
PWRTAPE Support: Integrated into the boot's structure, PWRTAPE offers targeted support and stability, securing your foot during dynamic movements and sharp turns.
Low Cut Slip-on Construction: Designed for ease of wear and a snug fit, providing a seamless connection between your foot and the boot.
FG/AG Versatility: The outsole configuration is optimized for use on both natural firm ground pitches and modern artificial grass surfaces, offering flexibility for various playing environments.

The PUMA Ultra 5 Pro FG/AG Soccer Shoe is built for dynamic playmakers who rely on speed and precision. The lightweight mesh upper ensures that you feel fast and unhindered throughout the match, while the GripControl Pro skin makes a tangible difference in controlling the ball, whether you're dribbling at pace or making a crucial first touch.
The SPEEDSYSTEM outsole with its FastTrax studs is where these boots truly shine in accelerating. Imagine bursting past defenders from a standing start or quickly changing direction during a counter-attack—the stud configuration is designed to dig in and propel you forward efficiently. This makes them ideal for wingers, forwards, and attacking midfielders who need to be agile and explosive.
PWRTAPE support provides structural integrity, wrapping around key areas of your foot to reduce slippage inside the boot and offer stability during sharp cuts and pivots. This is essential for maintaining balance and preventing injuries during intense match situations. The FG/AG soleplate means you won't need different boots for different pitches, offering convenience and consistent performance across firm natural grass and modern artificial turf fields.
While the low-cut slip-on construction offers a streamlined feel, it's important to ensure it's a good fit for your foot shape, as it's designed for a regular to narrow profile.
Unpack: Carefully remove your new PUMA Ultra 5 Pro boots from their packaging.
Try On: Slip them on. Due to the low cut slip-on construction and regular to narrow fit, they should feel snug. Ensure your toes have a small amount of space at the front (about a thumb's width) to prevent discomfort during play.
Break-In: It's recommended to wear them for a few short sessions (e.g., light training or casual kickabouts) before a full match to allow them to mold to your foot. This helps prevent blisters and discomfort.
These boots are specifically designed with an FG/AG soleplate, meaning they are compatible with:
Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches that are firm or slightly damp.
Artificial Ground (AG): Modern artificial turf pitches (3G/4G).
Do NOT use on indoor courts, concrete, or extremely hard/abrasive surfaces as this will damage the studs and outsole prematurely.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your boots:
Clean After Each Use: Immediately after playing, remove excess mud and dirt using a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Rinse (if needed): If very muddy, gently rinse the outsole under running water. Do not submerge the entire boot.
Wipe Down: Wipe the lightweight mesh upper and GripControl Pro skin with a damp cloth to clean the surface. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
Dry Naturally: Stuff the boots with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can damage the materials.
Store Properly: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe bag can protect them from dust and scuffs.
Inspect Regularly: Check for any signs of wear, especially on the studs and outsole, to ensure they remain safe and effective for play.
