PUMA Future 9 Play FG/AG blue children's rugby boots

These PUMA Future 9 Play FG/AG boots are aimed at young rugby players aged 8 to 16 who are looking for a versatile shoe for training and competition on dry or synthetic pitches. The woven upper incorporates targeted waffle zones that improve grip on the oval ball during passes and kicks. The FG/AG sole combines studs arranged around a central pivot to promote rapid weight shifts — useful in open play phases and explosive starts. Please note: this stud profile is suitable for firm ground and artificial grass, but is less suitable for very wet or muddy pitches where screw-in studs (SG) would be preferable.

Practical tips

What size for a 12-year-old child?

Size depends on the foot: on average, a 12-year-old wears between 36 and 38. Measure the foot in cm and add 0.5 cm for comfort.

Are these boots suitable for wet pitches?

No, the FG/AG sole is optimized for firm and synthetic ground. On muddy pitches, choose screw-in studs to avoid slipping.

Does the upper resist repeated impacts?

The synthetic woven fabric offers good contact resistance, but is less durable than full-grain leather. Cleaning after each match extends the lifespan.

Maintenance tips

Remove the boots after each match and brush the sole under warm water to remove dirt and mud. Clean the upper with a damp cloth, without harsh detergent. Dry in the open air, never on a radiator — woven synthetic can harden under heat. Do not machine wash.

Design

The woven upper incorporates a raised waffle pattern on the striking and control zones: this texture increases friction between the shoe and the ball, limiting unwanted bounces during kicks. The regular tongue and lace closure ensure personalized fit, essential for keeping the foot in place during impacts and lateral running. The sole positions the studs around a central pivot, facilitating rapid rotations and direction changes — an asset during ruck phases and counter-attacks. The FG/AG profile allows you to play on both dry natural grass and 3G synthetic turf, avoiding the need to buy two separate pairs.

Brand

PUMA develops the Future range around control and creativity — two qualities transferable from football to rugby. The waffled woven and stud arrangement respond to the specific needs of young rugby players who seek both scrum reactivity and open-play stability, without sacrificing ball touch. The German brand equips several professional teams and focuses on affordable technology for the junior segment.
