Unlike other releases in the market, the Puma Ultra 1.3 was the first to arrive in two variants – a unisex fit and a women’s fit. We’ve previously discussed Ida Sports football, which is a women-centric football boot. We were huge fans of the Puma Ultra 1.1 and 1.2, because interestingly, Puma gave it a more voluminous fit, which made it friendly for wider footed players.

At the moment, you can get the Ultra in a Cage variant that is good for the harder synthetic pitch of indoor football. Pretty sure Puma will release a soft ground version soon. In case you didn’t know, Puma’s football boots are labelled as FG/AG, so by default it should be alright for the newer generation of artificial grass pitches at least. Show your uncatchable speed wearing PUMA Ultra 2.4 FG/AG football boots in Diamond Silver/Neon Citrus, featuring a refreshed MATRYXPRO upper with new graphics for a supercharged look. 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. Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your football boots, but also to avoid the risk of injury. The Ultra Ultimate overhauls the the Puma speed silo from the ground up. The outsole now has a dual structure comprised of an outer skeletal TPU layered over a Peba-base frame , with the mix of chevron and triangular stud configuration being the only carry-over element. MATRYXEVO now gives way to the ULTRAWEAVE material that is also used in Puma’s high-profile kits.With its fully re-engineered, lightweight ULTRAWEAVE upper, ULTRA takes its signature speed and acceleration to the next level. This made it one of the few wide-foot friendly speed boots on the market, whilst also having a super lightweight and aggressive tooling with a thin barefoot knit based upper. Just on looks alone though, the Puma Ultra 1.3 is an entirely different beast, so strap up to find out just how different the new Puma Ultra is. Puma Ultra is made for men and women Having said that, it would have been nice to have received a wide version of the Puma Ultra 1.3 to cater to a broaded customer base (pun unintended). Raw performance Like the New Balance Furon, could be an alternative to the likes of Nike Air Zoom Mercurials and adidas X

At a US9 size, the Puma Ultra 1.3 comes in at a stunning 159g which is a weight that can hardly be beaten by another mass produced football boot. A speedier and streamlined fit It goes without saying, of course, that the downside of this is that your technique has to be absolutely on point to control the ball well. We wouldn’t recommend getting stepped on either, as the almost paper thin upper is not going to offer much in the way of protection. The Puma Ultra has the same responsive tooling Antoine Griezmann comes to mind when it comes to the Ultras. He is not alone though as he is now joined by a cast of quality players like Kingsley Coman and Christian Pulisic. It’s also worth mentioning that the Puma Ultra has a dedicated women-sizing, and with the likes of Fridolina Rolfö on board, should not have any problems getting a following in women’s football.One of the best value for money top level speed boots, you'll find these a lightweight, narrow option on your feet The Ultra’s also where PUMA employ their latest material tech, incorporating technologies such as MATRYXEVO and ULTRAWEAVE in the upper to give you the perfect combination of lightweight comfort, support, and durability. Last year, Puma rewrote the rules of the speed boot game with the Puma Ultra 1.1. For years, the speed boot market had reached a sort of détente, with the brands distancing themselves from defining their speed boots by weight, and instead focusing on being ‘light enough’ whilst not compromising on comfort. But all that changed in 2020, with Puma igniting a new arms race for the lightest speed boot title. Designed to meet the demands of the game’s fastest players, the Ultra is built for uncatchable speed.
