About this deal

The new upper of the Future 4.1 boot is still engineered out of the evoKNIT Pro material, but it’s now also fused with TPU yarns which supposedly brings a perfect mix of softness and stability. Puma also claim that the new ‘pods’ help to ensure a superior touch on the ball. Havoc On Your Feet When you add in the soleplate (that’s been unchanged since we met the first FUTURE) and the ability to customise the boot to squeeze your foot exactly how you’d like, this might be the most responsive boot on the market. If you lace them up to match your foot type, you shouldn’t ever have to worry about rollover or feeling like the boot isn’t always tight to your foot. So when I first received the Puma Future 4.1 and saw its redesigned upper, it seemed that the big cat took my ‘professional’ advice, sort of. Was this the change that would finally make the Puma Future into a legit contender for Boot of the Year? The answer is… complicated. All About That Upper The FUTURE looks like a boot that should shine brightest in front of goal. This all felt similar to dribbling... we were impressed, but not enough to go and retrieve the balls for another round, again, it's decent. Shooting, if you’ve found a lacing set-up that keeps the boot snug, is crisp. It didn’t quite the heights of EvoPowers gone by, but this was one of our favourite aspects of the current FUTURE. Passing and receiving the ball is easy, and you never feel like the NETFIT system is anything other than a standard part of the upper. For anyone wondering if the additions to the upper add anything to striking the ball or bringing the ball out of the air, maybe is our unhelpful answer. It's not noticeable but not many upper techs are. One of the biggest feathers in the FUTURE’s cap is its price point. With most other knitted boots sit at the height of the boot world’s pricing, the FUTURE is actually much more modestly situated. If price is what has kept you out of the knitted/collared game, then the FUTURE opens doors. However, even with this, you’d be hard pressed to not just hit up the last version on sale since the boots are so similar... but you didn’t hear that from us.

Don’t be looking for a new boot bag in the box of the FUTURE, 'cos you'll be disappointed, but you will get some extra laces that will allow you to further dress up your design. Considering lacing is being sold as one of the biggest tech innovations of the boot, it makes perfect sense that they’d want you to be as motivated as possible to try unique lacing options. Secondly, there’s not really anything about the 4.1 that has us ditching our preferred boots. Is it a quality release? Yes. Would we consider it a good boot? Absolutely, but we're still unsure who it's for. Perhaps if Puma could shed some excess on the upper and bring the touch to a more premium level or really give us something that would shine during play, then this boot could easily help PUMA have a roster that could challenge the brands around the big cat. It is impressive how many layers it seems that PUMA have been able to hide under the hood of this boot without it being overly bulky or making the touch super dampened, but maybe we could have done without a few of the textures on the upper to let us be a bit closer to the ball. seriously and seem to have made a radical switch in fit entirely. (Still) Waiting For The Future To Arrive I had this to say – “While I thoroughly enjoyed my ride in the Puma Future 19.1 and would happily use it for the season, I can’t help but feel like it’s a boot that could have been so much more. The upper could have been more grippy and aggressive with a pattern that could acted as a curve or control element.”The dotted upper does exactly what you would imagine it to do – act as a control element. It also continues to provide a dampened feel on the ball. Puma’s combined more layers in together to provide a really dampened and padded feel, akin to their old school Puma Powercat 1.10. Depending on where you stand on this issue, this is either an inspired update, or the worst move Puma could have made.

Designed with industry-leading technology and cutting-edge boot tech, these Puma Future Astro Turf Trainers provide exceptional grip and stability on AstroTurf and 3G pitches. No matter if you're a seasoned player or just starting your football journey, these trainers are engineered to elevate your game and give you a competitive edge on the field.While the Future 19.1 provided a crisp, near barefoot feel of the ball, the new construction brings a 180 degree turn to the Future 4.1.
