For traction, the third-gen Future Z retains the Dynamic Motion System outsole that’s proved so popular with players, enabling fast, agile moves thanks to its lightweight design and strategically arranged half-moon studs. FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn. Boots with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural, short-grass surfaces that are firm underfoot but may be slightly wet. Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort, and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot. FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn. FG boots are not to be used on artificial ground (AG) surfaces as the construction is not designed for the extra friction. Using FG boots on AG surfaces will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. The moon-shaped studs do its job in providing mobility and a solid amount of traction that should work for most play styles.

While the Puma Future Z has retained the “Future” DNA of providing the perfect fit, Puma’s boot engineers sought to express that same DNA in a wildly different approach after 3 years of Netfit, their innovative technology that allowed you limitless lacing options to accommodate any foot shape. Instead of depending on laces, the adaptive FUZIONFIT+ compression band is the star of the show here. All five have wowed spectators wearing perhaps the most iconic cleatof all: the PUMA King. Having been tweaked and refined over the years since its introduction in 1968, the King’s now available in a lighter, more streamlined design that’s engineered for modern playmakers. Striking was one of my favourite things to do in the Puma Future Z 1.3. The upper takes the stinging sensation out of your shot but provides you with that oomph you get from a classic power boot when striking the ball through the sweet spot. The effectiveness of the compression band also means that my planting foot was well secure when attempting to strike into the top corners. Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot.The concept began in 2018 with the Future NETFIT and its lace-how-you-like customisable closure system. Then we had the Future Z with its trademark midfoot band and soleplate bridge, followed by the Future Ultimate, which uses PWRTAPE tech on the upper to offer targeted support. The goal is the same with every Future: to enable players to move unrestricted. The only limit is your imagination. 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. However, I do wish that it didn’t need to readapt to my foot every time I put it on, and that it took to the shape after one or two games, instead of five. But still, the fit and compression are second to none among the current football boot selections out there. Really impressive work by Puma there. The Puma Future Z 1.3 has a more elegant touch

All five have wowed spectators wearing perhaps the most iconic boot of all: the PUMA King.

Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your cleats, but also to avoid the risk of injury. Cleats with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural short-grass surfaces that is firm underfoot but may be slightly wet. I absolutely love the Puma Future Z 1.3 and it has improved on the past generation in every way possible.

When it comes to touch, you do get a much closer feel of the ball as compared to any Puma Futures of the last 3 years. I felt quite connected to the ball when I make my passes, shoot or even when receiving it at pace. However, I can’t shake off the feeling that the touch feels pretty… average and dull? It’s not bad but it doesn’t feel unique or special like some of the previous Puma boots I’ve worn. Putting on the boot isn’t a chore despite how small the mouth looks. All you need to do is to loosen the top laces and in goes your feet. The Puma Future Z fits perfectly width and length wise when I went half a size down. Those with super wide feet should go true to size but for everyone else, go half down. The boots feel light on feet at 220g in a US 9 and you’d be hard-pressed to hear anyone having issues with its weight or how they fit especially when you take your first steps in them. Puma’s moved forward in leaps and bounds with the quality of their boots in the last few years and the Puma Future Z 1.3 is the epitome of that growth. It’s a shame that the Puma Future Z 1.3 will be replaced before you realise it. Puma’s venture with the unique Future has been successful for the most part, spearheading its strong push to challenge Nike and adidas since its inception just over 3 years ago.It hasn’t taken the big cat long to improve on their Future Z again and this time, I think it is almost perfect.
