Puma has continued to name the tooling as being FG/AG, and we’re still reasonably pleased with its performance on AG despite the extremely aggressive looking bladed studs. Yes, there is some cling, but it’s at the edge of being acceptable, and considering that this is a speed boot after all we think that it’s still one that we’d recommend for both FG and AG. 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 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 should come as no surprise that the tighter fit means that there is some break-in time required when you first put on the Puma Ultra 1.3. Need more? OK then.

The 5 best Nike football boots 2023

The Puma Ultra is becoming increasingly popular within world football, top names such as *deep inhale* Christian Pulisic, Antony, Raphaël Varane, Harry Maguire, Olivier Giroud, Cody Gakpo, Kyle Walker, Aleksandar Mitrović and Oleksandr Zinchenko, are all wearing them.
