Puma soccer cleats fit very differently per line. The King runs short and wide, so you usually go half a size up. The Future fits true to size with lots of room in the forefoot, and the Ultra is the tightest Puma, with a narrow and pointed fit.
Below you read how each line fits. If you want to know which Puma suits a wide foot, also look at Puma wide soccer cleats. Which Puma is widest is covered in Puma King vs Future vs Ultra.
How do Puma soccer cleats fit: big or small?
It depends on the line. The King 20 runs short, the Future 9 fits true to size and the Ultra 7 fits true to size but sits tight. Only on the Ultra 6 Ultimate do sources mention going half a size down, because that one runs long.
So the pattern is not that Puma runs big or small. You have to look per line, and a fit rating per model helps with that. Our size converter is useful if you are comparing across size systems, and how should soccer cleats fit explains the general checks.
How does the Puma King fit?
The King 20 is wide in the heel, midfoot, forefoot and soleplate, with a wider and taller toe box than earlier Kings. It runs short: half a size up is the usual choice. On the Pro version, sources mention half to a full size up for a very wide foot.
The heel stays firmly locked. On the Match version the heel is smoother, so the lockdown is lower. For narrow feet the King is too roomy: an extra eyelet and grip socks help, but that does not fix the last. See the fit rating for the Puma King.
How does the Puma King Platinum fit?
The King Platinum is a leather version with a separate tongue on a comparably wide last. It fits true to size and you do not go up, because leather stretches. The separate tongue gives more adjustability with a high instep, but the heel sits a little roomy. One of the sources also mentions a tighter variant of the Platinum, and it is not certain whether that is an older version. Our list of leather soccer cleats for wide feet includes it.
How does the Puma Future fit?
The Future 9 has lots of room in the forefoot, a tall toe box and a pointed tip. It fits true to size. The knit upper stretches and moves with you, which is welcome with a wide forefoot or a high instep.
Watch the heel, though. On the Pro version the heel is shallow and the lockdown is weak, so a narrow heel can slip. One source calls the Future the roomiest elite cleat, but that claim rests on a single source and should be read with caution. Our data rates the Puma Future 9 as moderately wide.
How does the Puma Ultra fit?
The Ultra is the tightest Puma, with an anatomical, pointed fit where the heel pinches under the Achilles tendon. The Ultra 7 fits true to size. The Ultra 6 Ultimate runs long, so a half size down applies there, and the Ultra 6 Carbon runs slightly short.
If you have a wider foot, think twice. A bigger size makes the cleat longer, not wider. For the narrow side of the picture, read soccer cleats for narrow feet.
How do Puma soccer cleats fit your foot?
If you have a wide foot, start with the King or the Future. If you have a narrow foot or a narrow heel, the Ultra fits better, and the King will be too roomy. If you are not sure, the cleat finder gives advice based on your complaints and surface. If pain lasts longer than a few weeks, see a podiatrist. We give fit advice, not medical advice.
How do Puma soccer cleats fit kids?
Measure your child standing, in soccer socks, and use the larger foot. Nike advises an extra half size for kids who wear thick soccer socks, and the same logic applies to any brand. For growing room, see wide cleats for kids. If you are looking at women’s options with a wide foot, read the separate page on wide cleats for women.
