Hats off to the most detailed ultra review yet.
Appreciate it. Tried to slim it down but there is a lot to this boot, had to run quite long. Thanks for watching
Boot Wizard keep it up man i like these super detailed reviews 🤘🏽
@@cgg8997 thanks man, really appreciate that :)
Hi some useful info for the readers : I ordered the 2.1s and 3.1s to see the difference and comfort for my 8year old boy in size 1. Firstly they are both amazing boots - 2.1 weighed 180g, 3.1 weighed 184g ... not much different. 2.1 was much more comfortable though and he preferred them
Thanks for the info appreciate sharing with everyone.
Got mine today, ordered on the Puma Online Store. Probably the most comfortable Speedboot I've ever worn, they seem pretty great.
Awesome stuff, glad you're liking them :)
How’s the durability of them after 2 weeks?
@@hiddenleaf414 Haven't had any issues so far, can recommend.
tangl3 Nice!
I think I’m getting the Ultras!
My feet a a smidge to wide for Vapors so they should be a good fit.
Did you go a size or half size up?
SUP WIZ .....
THE BOOTS ARE LITERALLY SICK ..!!!
Sup man, thanks for watching

🔥
nice video thanks for being genuine
Thanks for watching man, appreciate it.
Looks so good 😳
Great looking boot.
Great review! Very detailed review. Brilliant stuff. I think that Puma put that Grip element is definitely for durability, they just want to admit it.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. A lot of new stuff going on with this one. Totally agree about the grip lent for durability, and they just don't want to say anything.
@@BootWizard Amazing how much the evoSpeed SL's failure has influenced the brand.
@@derbyyank13 I get why, considering people still talk about the evospeed SL and how insane in was in terms of the durability, but just because we hold onto it doesn't mean that the brand should, they can 100% move forwards and just blow us away with new speed boots. But they do seem very hung up on it.
@@BootWizard Yeah, I think you're spot on
I am an old guy who has always worn leather boots. I grabbed a pair of Ultras because winter here has been super wet. I like the touch and feel of the upper.
They're very nice boots. Not actually a whole heap to complain about. They could do with being lower volume in my opinion but really when it's all said and done they're excellent.
@@BootWizard There is a surprising amount of space! I have fat feet and had no trouble.
I'm more of a leather upper, round studs, flexible sole, stay off my lawn, kind of guy.
@@aaronhackett5889 The beauty of the boots if you have wide or particularly fat feet, you can get a fantastic lightweight boot and they will fit really well. My feet are more average so I have a bit more room than I would want, but I do have couple of friends with wide feet that adore these for the exact reason I don't love them.
@@aaronhackett5889 hahaha, that's fair enough, I used to be but oddly as I have got older I've started leaning more towards the really barefoot touch uppers.
Fantastic review, James. And fantastic name, too! When are you going to make a guest appearance on the boot nerds podcast?! Also, why are you based in Copenhagen?
I will await my invite for my guest appearance on the Boot Nerds, maybe one day, the guys do great work.
I'm actually in Ireland, now lived in Denmark the last 2 years, just because I moved there, no real reason for moving there i just did haha, moved to Ireland about a month ago and I live here now.
Thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it. James is the best name, have to agree 😂😂.
Really detailed review love it keep it up! Wondering if you would be able to do a review of the Morelia Neo 3 Beta Elite (Not the MIJ version), could be a hidden gem at its price point?
I don't actually review leather boots on the channel however I think you're absolutely right about it being a hidden gem at the price. Maybe get in touch with gaijin boot blog or BOOTHYPE they would be my go to Mizuno experts.
Thanks for the kind words and for checking out the video as well.
The lace loops worried me at first but if those are Kevlar yarns it probably won't be an issue. The tensile strength should be excellent.
I like that they didn't just make a Merc clone. A wider fit speed boot surely will have an audience. I'll be giving this a try at some point!
I agree, I make exactly that point, the wider fit and less tight feeling may lend itself to a more universally liked boot instead of appealing to a smaller audience of speed boot fanatics. However with that said if that was the aim, the 160g weight seems a strange decision, if you are dropping your boot weight that low, then it's the speed boot heads you want to hit. Feels a bit like trying to have their cake and eat it. Not saying it's bad, just that it feels like Puma didn't know which direction to go and ended up somewhere in the middle. I certainly don't want a Merc clone, but it is pretty much the best speed boot on the market for a reason. Again as I say great tech from puma here, lots of potential, and I think the 2.1 might offer some improvements.
I'm not sure if the laceloops are Kevlar, I've reached out to puma and not received an answer on the material they have used, my impression is that they are not the Kevlar yarns, if they are, like you say, no problems, if they're not, then firstly why not!!! And secondly I would be a little worried with that kind of set up.
Overall a good boot, nothing hugely wrong and some great tech, I'm just not sure it knows what it wants to be, the adidas x 19.1 is a great example of a boot that appeals to a wider audience in foot shape and fit terms but still delivers the speed boot goods, I think puma needed to hit that mark a little closer.
@@BootWizard my question is though, what do you think has been sacrificed to get to that weight? The quotes I've seen from people at Puma suggest they weren't aiming for a specific number, they just wanted to balance weight/comfort/durability.
Similar to the One I think Puma's biggest problem here is marketing. People are so used to the traditional silos that when they venture outside of those expectations it gets hard to classify the boots. If comfort/speed (I'm assuming that is what they were going for) is going to be a thing they need to put the dollars in to help consumers understand and to build that niche.
@Duane Swaby I've seen the same quotes, they weren't aiming to shave off grams unnessesarily and they weren't aiming for a number just a light boot, honestly, I don't totally believe it, I think they have tried to make the lightest boot they possibly could without getting to the point that durability is an issue. Basically for marketing purposes, I think the Boot might have been better off being a bit heavier. Although they clearly haven't tried to go evospeed SL and make the lightest boot at all costs which is of course positive.
I agree 100% about the one, they didn't put the time in to help people understand the silo and that didn't help. But here they have 100% committed to the speed boot silo and marketed accordingly, however I think they have missed the mark a little bit. As I say adidas With the x19.1 did a great job of hitting that speed boot market without going down the route of making everything crazy thin, light and tight, here Puma have gone light, and despite the fact I think there would be a better set up by changing the padding it doesn't make it a bad boot and it's not nessesarily a problem, just subverts expectation slightly in a boot so light, however the fairly high volume in the Boot, especially in the toe box, I think is to its detriment and would be even if it wasn't a speed boot (all be it less so), it does need to sit closer to the foot.
It might sound like I'm bashing the Boot and saying it's not good, but that's not the case, it's a good boot, I am not telling people to stay clear, I think it's just slightly missing the mark in a couple of areas. I am genuinely excited to see what puma do next with this silo as well, a lot of great tech and options here.
Been waiting for this review!
Really can’t decide between these or the Adidas X Ghosted.
Haven't had the Ghosted on feet yet so I can't tell, as soon as I do I'll get a video out.
@@BootWizard Vapor 13 / Ultra / Ghosted comparison video is a must!!
@@tommydellz 100%
thx for the Video and Effort you’re putting into this. To be honest the most Important part for
me is the on feet portion that is missing here.
@@tbn1996 I'll have a full playtest up soon, unfortunatly the memory card that has the on feet section corrupted and I couldn't use it. Sorry about that, it will be back in future videos
These boots look 🔥 in my opinion...
I think they look great for sure.
Boot Wizard Thanks for replying💪
Thanks for watching!!!
Expand the coverage of the GCP coating, and lower the volume (especially toebox), and I'd snap these up!
I think I agree, expand that coverage and the Boot would benefit for sure. It's got loads of nice elements, I'd just love to see a few tweaks here and there, especally in the volume.
Hii James, nice review as always. Little disappointed that it is wider. Also, the lace loop concept looks really cool and unique. What do you think about the hold that you get from doing it this way?
The lockdown is surprisingly good, I was concerned it might lead to a bit of a disconnect between the Boot and the laces, like a multi layer system but it seems fine. I don't have an issue with the lockdown it's very good, just a concern about durability, but so far so good
@@BootWizard Appreciate it
@@nevinthomas603 no worries
Lol nailed the name of the next generation of ultras
pls review the first takedown model from the ultra
It's on my list of boots to review.
I bought the Future 5.1 and decided on size 10 UK but whilst the midfoot is suprt tight the room in the toe box and length I think is too much. I just have a super wide mid-foot. In your opinion should I get a 9 or 9.5 UK in the Ultra? Also the Future 5.1 I bought was in the MG stud pattern not sure if that affects the wideness of the soleplate or anything compared to FG/AG. I thought I would use the Future on Astro and the Ultra on grass. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Honetstly my advice is always to buy a boot that fits you in the length and don't compromise on that. So because the ultra isn't as wide as the future it might not be a boot for your foot type. It's not as wide as the future. You should always buy the correct length and if you have width issues make sure you pick a boot or a silo that suits that shape.
Boot Wizard thanks. I’m going to order all three sizes in that case of 9, 9.5 and 10 UK and see which fits best. I used to have a pair if nike boots and never had an issue but I think I stretched them out over time which I am sure the Puma boots will also give over time.
Hey James, bought these in a UK 8, the left boot fits perfectly but the right boot (my dominant foot) is a bit more spacious. I'm wondering if I should get a 7.5 just so that my right foot fits better. I'm a bit afraid that my left will be too tight. I also had the future 5.1's in a 7.5 and they felt perfect. What do you think?
You might get away with the 7.5 if you have the future in the 7.5
I bought mine in an 8.5 US and might have been able to go 8.
Noti gang
Boom! The man is here!
I got the x ghosted plus and the width seems a little small for me but the length is perfect for a US size 11. Do you think a US size 11 for puma would be good for me?
I would say yes, same size in both is likely the best option.
@@BootWizard Awesome. Thank you!
Between these and the future 6.1, which one is wider/ better for wide feet?
The future will be the wider boot.
I'm not sure if you can answer this but how is the copa 18.3 compared to nemeziz 18.3?I'm from India and those are the only boots I can afford
Very different boots. The copa might be the better option as the leather is more likely to soften up and be enjoyable compared to the nemeziz upper.r
like the channel 🙌
Thanks man appreciate it.
they are beautiful ..... but they look very much like to me Lotto Solista....
especially in the front.....is it true in fact ???......after all, I'm very glad that Puma has finally come up with something so great
They don't feel like the Solista, but you're absolutely right, the looks are a bit Solista like.
@@BootWizard When I destroy my Solists and Furons, I plan to buy them .... will it pay off for you ?? Because they really look very good on the eye..Thank you
Disagree , this is the best speed boot Puma has ever released and it was out of the box. I told a friend who doesn’t play football about them being super light and he said “well wouldn’t that hurt the bottom of your feet” and obviously no because the comfort is amazing!! Puma have made a really amazing product here for more foot types and for only $200!!
I didn't say it was a bad boot. And i agree, probably pumas best speed boot ever, maybe their best boot ever, but it doesn't mean it is without flaws, and while it offers a great option for those with a wide foot, it certainly has too much volume for my liking and for many people this will be a problem.
Great boot, yes, i agree. But it is not perfect and there are still better options out there although the price of this is excellent.
So GCP is a gimmick like ACC from Nike.
Have you seen the FUTURE Z?
They look dope
GCP you can absolutely see and feel so that's the difference, the problem being it's just in a ridiculous place
@@BootWizard Ahahahah
The only thing that stop me buying these is because the lace holder 😅
Yeah, it's a weird set up, but no complaints from anyone so far
@@BootWizard not yet. I had my first gen maestri and x17.1 lace holders ripped off within 6 wears. Maestri was the worst. Imo puma should replicate the morelia Neo 2 lacing set up. The best I've ever worn. And they should stick to conical studs. Even puma one 5.1 studs are aggressive tbh
Neo 2 lacing set up is nice I agree. I think this is interesting tech and only time will tell if it's an issue with the durability. Never had any Maestri problems myself, but I'm a huge fan of the maestri line anyway.
I like the studs, but I agree for an AG pitch the puma future and one studs are still pretty agressive.
Hey James, I understood that these have plenty of volume in the toebox, I'm usually an Adidas guy, but I wanted to try something new, I'm tempted to give these a go but really afraid of the fit, everyone is complaining about the volume. How would you compare the fit in the Ultras with the X and Nemeziz? I'm just trying to get a closer idea of how they fit like.
Well compared to the x ghosted there is a lot more room. And compared to the nemeziz i would still say it's higher volume but more similar.
@@BootWizard thank you for your response, actually, I haven't tried the X ghosted yet, so comparing the Ultra with the X 19.1 they have more volume?
Would you recommend the Ultra 1.1 to a narrow to medium feet?
@@mehofourat9758 the ultra will fit most foot types but it is going to be wider and higher volume than most other speed boots out there. The X 19 and the nemeziz both have the same last and basic shape for reference.
@@BootWizard thanks a lot, you're always so helpful, one last question please, have you tried the Nemeziz 19.1 in the AG variation? I had a good experience with the Preds 20.1 AG, I find them to have a significantly less wider forefoot and toebox than the FG version (because of the slimmer outsole), so I'm thinking, maybe it's the same with the Nemeziz (th FG was a little bit wide for my forefoot when I tried them on). Do you think I could get better fit in the Nemeziz 19.1 AG?
@@mehofourat9758 there are 2 different AG plates now so be careful which one you get. The older sprint frame version may suit what you're looking for but the newer AG plate might not.
Out of all the usage u have had are there any rips in the lace holes?
No problems so far
Do you preferer lotto solista 200 or puma ultra 1.1?
It's a good question. I think the better performing of the 2 boots is the ultra.
I play centre back would you recommend these boots or what other boots would you suggest
Really doesn't matter with regards to you position, you can wear any boots you like at CB. My advice would be to buy a pair that you feel comfortable in and fits your foot type.
Are the puma ultra durable enough to last a full year
@@jacobkeeling9049 very much depends on your style of play your foot type and how much you use them. But I would say that with game and standard training use they should be okay.
I have never worn puma so im confused what size will suits me i wear adidas x19.1 size 41.3, hypervenom 3 size 42
What size should i wear in puma ultra and is it will be narrow to my foot or regular?
A lot depends on your foot type. My advice would be to go half down from your nike size or stay the same as it if you are worried about sizing
I want to order one of ultras but im afraid that Lace loops can tear apart what do u think from the prospective of durability
Had mine for a while and no problems
@@BootWizard even on ag surfaces?
@@MohammedIbrahim-nn2pp the AG isn't going to affect the laceloops much. That's more going to affect the upper durability around the soleplate and the soleplate itself
Would you recommend this boot for a size 9 with a 4” 6/18 width? If not, what boot would you recommend for a foot this wide?
If you want to try a speed boot this is about as wide as you will be able to find
Boot Wizard personally if you had a foot this wide, would you pick this boot or would you go for something like a Future 6.1?
@@Mimilorime these are reasonably wide and I probably wouldn't complain about having these, the future is wider though, so if width was my primary concern i would get the future.
Boot Wizard thank you mate. Keep up the good work and the engagement with the community!
@@Mimilorime No worries hope I helped you out
So different than i thought...
Yeah, not what I was expecting, not bad, but I think I was expecting something better / more, it's not going to overtake the vapor for my speed boot choice anytime soon
Looks like a Lotto solista
Does have a few Solista vibes, good point.
i miss evosoeeds
This is probably as close as you'll get and probably better than any of the evospeeds really
Boot Wizard yeah gonna wait until they come down in price and a new colourway maybe
Good plan, always a solid idea
If you have a wide mid foot should I buy it?
You shouldn't have too many issues
@@BootWizard one more question u am a little confused. I play on ag so should I buy it?
@@alman2862 personally I think it's too agressive got AG but puma say it's okay for FG or AG
Is that Ultra a puma mercurial future? A future 5.1 mercurialized?
Haha, I like the thought but it's a looooooooong way from the future.
@@BootWizard i'm really a 5.1 future lover, just ordered the ultra...
Hope you like them :) , big fan of the future myself as well.
@@BootWizard and...not so a fan of the Ultra?
@@fabiofrigiola7617 it's not a bad boot, not at all, it just has small things I'd like to see improved in the next version
Who else saw this video and went straight to soccer.com and bought them🤣😂 keep up the good videos
Hahaha glad you enjoyed it and hope you like the new boots :)
hey james, be honest, you hate the boots
I actually don't, quite the opposite I think they're s fantastic boot, one of the best, maybe even the best that Puma has ever made.
pewma
that is how we say it in the Uk-
Piuma?
??
5.6 ounces. Wow...... I would be worried about durability.
I'm not overly concerned because of the weight, seems sturdy enough, I'm more concerned about the lace loops and exposed upper material.
The upper is woven from carbon fiber and aramid yarns so it should be really durable
@@duaneswaby622 the carbon and aramid are woven into another material which might create an issue but as I say on the whole I'm not too concerned, but the lace loops could be an issue and exposed material is always going to be less durable than anything coated, just harder to keep dry and clean. But as you say quality materials in the upper so I'm not exactly expecting it to start tearing or anything like that, certainly sturdy enough and no evospeed SL problems.
Boot Wizard I thought each yarn was individually coated so the whole upper is waterproof?
My wet feet can confirm the upper is not waterproof!
PEIUMA guys
welcome to the rest of the world.
