FAQs
What types of playing surfaces are these boots suitable for?
These PUMA Future 8 Match boots are designed for use on Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Ground (AG) surfaces. This includes natural grass pitches and modern synthetic turf.
Can I really play in these boots without laces?
Yes, these boots feature a design that allows you to play with or without laces, offering flexibility for your preferred fit and feel on the ball.
How do I determine the correct size for these boots?
The PUMA Future 8 Match offers a regular to wide fit. It's best to consult PUMA's official size chart and consider your usual UK adult foot size (e.g., UK 13 for this specific variant). If possible, try them on.
What is GripControl technology and how does it help?
GripControl technology refers to a specialized texture applied to the boot's upper. Its purpose is to enhance your touch and control over the soccer ball, allowing for better dribbling, passing, and shooting precision.
How should I clean and care for my PUMA Future 8 Match boots?
After each use, brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing.
Are these boots for men or women?
These boots are designed as a unisex product, suitable for both male and female adult players.
Can I use these boots for other sports?
While primarily designed for soccer, the FG/AG soleplate may be suitable for other field sports that require similar traction, but optimal performance is guaranteed for soccer.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose during play.
If tight, ensure you've broken them in. The mesh upper adapts over time. If loose, especially when playing laceless, try re-lacing them for a more secure fit. Remember the regular to wide fit may be different than previous boots.
Experiencing poor traction on the field.
Verify that you are playing on either a Firm Ground (FG) or Artificial Ground (AG) surface, as these boots are specifically designed for them. Check the studs for any accumulated mud or debris that might be hindering grip and clean them thoroughly.
Difficulty controlling the ball despite GripControl technology.
Ensure your boots are clean, especially the textured `GripControl` areas. Practice touch and control drills, as the technology enhances, but does not replace, skill. Over time, you'll adapt to the boot's feel.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal for new footwear. Wear them for several short training sessions to allow the materials to soften and mold to your foot shape. Wearing appropriate soccer socks can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Initial Fit: Try on the boots with your preferred soccer socks. Ensure they feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. Wiggle your toes to confirm adequate space.
- Lacing Option: Decide if you prefer to play with or without laces. If using laces, ensure they are securely tied to prevent tripping. If going laceless, ensure the snugness is still comfortable for your foot and provides adequate lockdown.
- Break-In: For optimal comfort and performance, wear your new boots for a few light training sessions before a competitive match. This helps the material mold to your foot.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: These boots are designed for Firm Ground (FG), which includes most natural grass pitches, and Artificial Ground (AG), suitable for modern synthetic turf fields. They are not recommended for soft ground (SG) surfaces.
- Players: Unisex design, suitable for adult players of all positions who prioritize agility and ball control.
Care
- Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or cloth.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Wipe down the entire boot. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape if desired.
