This model is also one of the only boots to come in a true women’s shaping, which is why they’re trusted by Nicole Billa, Cristina Girelli & Ramona Bachmann too. Models available now

Editor’s note: For those wondering about why it’s a women’s fit and a unisex fit. Part of the reason is that because most girls have grown up wearing men’s variant of football boots.

But even with all that, it’s the dual density SPEEDPLATE outsole that steals the show, providing unbridled power off the mark when it comes to sprints. Who wears Puma Ultra? The women’s variant of the Ultra 1.3 follows closely to these principles, swapping the super aggressive bladed tooling for a conical one, similar to the one found on the recently released Puma King Platinum 2021. It’s an interesting experiment and one that we’d love to see other brands follow, as the women’s game grows. At a US9 size, the Puma Ultra 1.3 comes in at a stunning 159g which is a weight that can hardly be beaten by another mass produced football boot. A speedier and streamlined fit As we mentioned, the Ultra Ultimate is the crème de la crème of this model. But for less money (which means less tech), you can grab Pro, Match and Play takedown versions. Ultra boots have proven to be a popular release, giving grassroots players in particular an affordable option to get top tech into their game. Puma Ultra technology

The boot follows the standard options for every surface type, with FG/AG, MxSG, MG, TT and IT outsoles all available.Unlike other releases in the market, the Puma Ultra 1.3 was the first to arrive in two variants – a unisex fit and a women’s fit. We’ve previously discussed Ida Sports football, which is a women-centric football boot. Having said that, it would have been nice to have received a wide version of the Puma Ultra 1.3 to cater to a broaded customer base (pun unintended). Raw performance

We move on to a boot built for touch now, the Puma Future. Originally born in 2017, this adaptable design was groundbreaking from the off. Last year, Puma rewrote the rules of the speed boot game with the Puma Ultra 1.1. For years, the speed boot market had reached a sort of détente, with the brands distancing themselves from defining their speed boots by weight, and instead focusing on being ‘light enough’ whilst not compromising on comfort. But all that changed in 2020, with Puma igniting a new arms race for the lightest speed boot title.

Puma King Top

A knitted tongue helps deliver a snug fit, whilst the KINGform technology is used in key areas to improve touch, control and general ball-feel. Models available now Both PWRTAPE and PWRPRINT tech sit through the chassis, providing extra support for the player and durability for the long run. Like the Ultra and Future, the King uses a Peba unit in the sole to increase responsiveness when you’re shifting your weight and dropping a shoulder or two.
