The Puma ULTRA 5 PRO FG/AG football boot is engineered for adult players who demand explosive speed and versatile traction on both firm ground and artificial grass pitches. With its advanced SPEEDSYSTEM outsole and FastTrax stud design, it promises exceptional acceleration and grip, though achieving optimal performance greatly benefits from a precise and comfortable fit.
SPEEDSYSTEM Outsole: Maximizes energy return, providing an explosive push-off for faster acceleration and sustained speed during play.
FastTrax Stud Design: Features a unique stud configuration specifically engineered for superior multi-directional traction, allowing for quick cuts and changes of pace.
Three Rounded Lateral Studs: Strategically placed on the outer edge, these studs facilitate seamless transitions and maintain consistent grip when moving between firm natural grass and artificial turf surfaces.
PWRTAPE Support Frame: Integrated into the boot's upper, this technology stabilizes the foot, enhancing agility and supporting rapid, confident changes in direction.

The Puma ULTRA 5 PRO FG/AG is built for players who prioritize speed and agility, offering a tangible advantage in game-play scenarios. The SPEEDSYSTEM outsole is designed to propel you forward, making it ideal for forwards and wingers making quick runs and bursting past defenders. During explosive sprints, you'll feel the immediate responsiveness as energy is efficiently returned with each stride.
The FastTrax stud design truly shines during complex maneuvers. When you need to make a sharp turn, stop suddenly, or pivot to change direction, the multi-directional traction ensures your foot stays planted, preventing slips and allowing you to execute movements with confidence. The three rounded lateral studs are particularly beneficial for players frequently switching between pitches, providing a consistent feel and grip whether you're on a pristine natural grass field or a modern artificial turf. This eliminates the need to carry multiple pairs of boots for different surfaces.
Finally, the PWRTAPE support frame is critical for maintaining stability during high-intensity play. For example, when dribbling at speed or making a last-ditch tackle, the PWRTAPE system locks your foot in place, minimizing internal movement and ensuring maximum power transfer and control. This allows for rapid changes in direction without sacrificing balance or risking injury.
While there's no complex 'setup' for football boots, 'breaking them in' is essential for comfort and performance. Wear your new Puma ULTRA 5 PRO FG/AG boots for short periods during training sessions or casual kickabouts before a full match. This allows the material to mold to your foot shape, reducing the likelihood of discomfort or blisters. Ensure you wear the same type of socks you'd use during a match to get an accurate feel for the fit.
These boots are specifically designed for:
Firm Ground (FG): Natural grass pitches that are firm and dry.
Artificial Grass (AG): Synthetic turf surfaces. The stud configuration is optimized to provide traction without excessive pressure on your joints or the artificial surface.
Do not use these boots on soft ground (SG) pitches, as the studs are not designed for muddy conditions and may not provide adequate grip or could be damaged.
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your boots:
Clean After Each Use: Immediately after playing, remove loose dirt and debris from the upper and outsole using a soft brush or cloth. Pay special attention to the studs to prevent dirt buildup that can compromise grip.
Wipe Down: Use a damp cloth with mild soap (if necessary) to gently wipe down the entire boot. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is removed.
Air Dry: Always air dry your boots at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, tumble dryers) as this can damage the materials and cause them to crack or shrink.
Stuff for Shape (Optional): Stuff newspaper or boot trees inside the boots to help them retain their shape while drying and absorb moisture.
Store Properly: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A breathable boot bag can protect them during transport.
Inspect Regularly: Periodically check for any signs of wear, especially on the studs and seams, to address potential issues early.
