Future 7 Firm: Puma’s signature cleats, the Future 7’s have steadily become one of the most popular brand of boots on the market. The reason for this is simple: they provide a high level of support and comfort, in particular for younger players.

Their advanced stud configuration also gives players more balance when they are playing on wet and muddy surfaces.

Ultra Ultimate: For players that like to burn past defenders, the Ultra Ultimates that feel the need for speed. This year’s Ultras are light in weight, due in part to their engineering. Each shoe has a structured four-way stretch that reduces the weight of the shoe and the friction that can be created when they hit the ground. This gives players who rely on their speed as part of their game an advantage.
