On the field, the PUMA King Match FG/AG excels for players who value consistent ball control and comfort throughout a match. The soft synthetic leather upper adapts quickly to your foot, enhancing your feel for the ball whether you're dribbling, passing, or shooting. The low-cut slip-on construction provides a snug fit without being restrictive, allowing for natural foot movement.The lightweight TPU outsole, combined with conical studs, ensures you maintain excellent traction and can change direction swiftly on both firm natural grass and artificial turf. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for players who frequently switch between different playing surfaces or for those who need a reliable all-around boot for varied training and match environments. For example, a midfielder needing to quickly pivot and distribute the ball will appreciate the stability and grip, while a forward will benefit from the enhanced touch for close control in tight spaces.
Breaking In: Wear your new PUMA King Match boots during a few light training sessions or casual use before playing a full match. This allows the synthetic upper to mold to your foot for optimal comfort.
Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent pressure points and allow for proper circulation.
Playing Surfaces: These boots are specifically designed and recommended for use on Firm Ground (FG) natural grass pitches and Artificial Ground (AG) synthetic turf pitches.
Avoid: Do not use these boots on Soft Ground (SG) or indoor (IC/IN) surfaces, as this can lead to inadequate grip, potential injury, or damage to the boots.
Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and grass clippings from the upper and soleplate using a soft brush or a damp cloth.
Washing: For more thorough cleaning, wipe the synthetic upper and outsole with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your boots. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources, which can damage the synthetic materials.
