How do Puma football boots fit? Very differently from line to line. The King runs small and is wide, so you usually go up half a size. The Future fits true to size with plenty of room in the forefoot, and the Ultra is the tightest Puma, with a narrow and pointed fit.
Below you can read how the boot fits line by line. If you want to know which Puma suits a wide foot, look at Puma wide football boots as well. Which Puma is widest is covered in Puma King, Future or Ultra: which fits wider.
How do Puma football boots fit: big or small?
That depends on the line. The King runs small, the Future fits true to size, and the Ultra 7 fits true to size but tight. Only on the Ultra 6 Ultimate do sources mention half a size smaller, because that one runs long.
The pattern is therefore not that Puma runs big or small. You have to look per line, and a fit verdict per model helps with that. The width chart shows the models side by side.
How does the Puma King fit?
The Puma King is wide through the heel, midfoot, forefoot and soleplate, with a wider and higher toe box than earlier Kings. It runs small: half a size up is the usual choice. On the Pro version, sources mention half to a full size up with a very wide foot.
The heel sits firmly. On the Match version the heel is smoother, so the lockdown is less. For narrow feet the King is too roomy: an extra eyelet and grip socks help, but they do not repair the last.
How does the Puma King Platinum fit?
The Puma King Platinum is a leather version with a separate tongue on a similarly 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 source also mentions a tighter variant of the Platinum, and it is not certain whether that is an older version.
How does the Puma Future fit?
The Puma Future has plenty of room in the forefoot, a high toe box and a pointed tip. It fits true to size. The knit upper stretches and goes with the foot, which is pleasant 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 boot, but that claim rests on a single source and should be read with care.
How does the Puma Ultra fit?
The Puma 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 there you go half a size down, and the Ultra 6 Carbon runs slightly short.
If you have a wider foot, think twice. A bigger size makes the boot longer, not wider. A more detailed look at narrow boots is on football boots for narrow feet.
How do Puma football boots fit your foot?
With a wide foot, start with the King or the Future. With a narrow foot or a narrow heel, the Ultra fits better, and the King will be too roomy. If you are not sure, use the football boot adviser, which gives advice based on your complaints and surface. If you have pain that lasts longer than a few weeks, see a GP or a podiatrist.
How do Puma football boots fit kids?
Measure your child standing, in football socks, and use the bigger foot. Nike advises half a size extra for children in thick football socks, which is a useful check for any brand. For growing room, see choosing the size of kids’ football boots. If you are looking for boots for women with a wide foot, read the separate page on football boots for wide feet for women.
