Fell Apart After A Few Uses – Puma’s “Ultimate” Joke

I’ve bought budget cleats that lasted longer than these so-called PUMA Future 8 Ultimate FG/AG “performance” shoes. After minimal wear — not seasons, not months, but just a few outings — the entire sole ripped away from the upper like it was made of wet cardboard. We’re not talking a small seam tear here; the shoe literally split into layers like a bad sandwich (see photos). The material is cheap, the glue is nonexistent, and the construction is embarrassing for a company of PUMA’s size. Any brand with real pride in their products would have replaced them or offered a full refund. PUMA’s response? A measly 10% off a future purchase. In other words: “We sold you garbage, but here’s a coupon so you can buy more garbage.” For a shoe marketed as “Ultimate,” these are the ultimate disappointment — flimsy, overpriced, and destined for the trash after a handful of uses. If you value your money and your game, avoid these like a bad tackle. Proof is in the pictures — this is what “minimal wear” looks like in PUMA land.
