Football boots Puma Ultra

The shoe that relaunched speed at Puma

After discontinuing the evoSPEED range in 2017, Puma did not have a shoe dedicated to speed. The Ultra filled this gap in August 2020 with an ultra-thin upper and a Pebax sole inspired by track spikes. Subsequent generations adopted the ULTRAWEAVE, an extremely lightweight woven fabric that stretches in all four directions to follow the foot with every step, reinforced by PWRTAPE bands in key areas. The goal remains the same: to eliminate every excess gram without sacrificing support.

Future, King and the entire Puma brand

If your game relies more on dribbling than sprinting, the Future with its compression band will be more suitable. For a more protective fit and a classic feel, check out the King. All the Puma families are grouped on the Puma page.

The SPEEDSYSTEM sole and terrain choice

On the high-end versions, the SPEEDSYSTEM sole combines a high-performance fiber base and a stud configuration designed to return energy with every push. Most Ultra are FG/AG, suitable for dry grass and newer synthetic surfaces, while the MxSG version, with mixed aluminium and moulded studs, grips wet terrain. The FG pure, the most aggressive, is reserved for natural grass. On synthetic, an AG sole with shorter and more numerous studs protects your knees with every take-off.

Ultimate, Pro, Match and laceless versions

The Ultra Ultimate is the professional version, the lightest, featuring the ULTRAWEAVE upper and the stiffest sole. The Ultra Pro retains the silhouette and the essence of responsiveness for an ambitious club player, and the Ultra Match prioritises durability for intense training. The LL versions, for laceless, do away with laces: the elastic collar holds the foot in place and allows for a perfectly smooth striking surface. Children's models are also available laceless, easy to slip on, and feature the bright colours of adult models.

Grab an Ultra during big sales events

Puma keeps releasing new colours of Ultra, and each release sends the previous ones to the Promos page, especially during Black Friday and the holiday season. The winter sales and then the French Days in spring are a great time to switch to an Ultimate. After the summer sales, the resumption of training is the right moment to explore the Clearance section.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Puma Ultra suitable for a wider foot?

Its speed fit wraps closely around the forefoot, which can be uncomfortable for wider feet. Try it on in the evening, and if your toes feel cramped, go up half a size rather than forcing a fit that won't stretch much.

Why are Puma Ultra shoes often orange or pink?

Puma dresses its speed shoes in bright colours to make them stand out on the pitch, and the very first Ultra was released in vibrant orange in 2020. The colour has no impact on performance: choose the sole and size first.

Does the Ultra withstand regular use on synthetic surfaces?

Yes, provided you use an FG/AG or AG sole on artificial grass. The very thin upper is more sensitive to wear than thick leather: clean it after each session and avoid abrasive surfaces like stabilised ground.

In which position is the Ultra most useful?

It primarily serves wingers, deep attackers, and offensive full-backs who make lots of sprints. A midfielder who sees a lot of the ball often prefers a more enveloping and protective fit.

How do you choose the size for a child's Ultra?

Measure their foot standing at the end of the day and add about a centimetre of extra space, no more. For a laceless version, check that they can put it on themselves and that the heel doesn't lift when they trot around.
