Regular readers of Footy Boots will know that we weren’t too impressed when the PUMA v1.10 was revealed. Certainly in terms of appearance, we thought it left a bit to be desired.

However, having tested the boots, we were pleasantly surprised that the performance was right up there. And now, having produced a very decent looking K-Leather version,  PUMA has a strong package that should appeal to attackers and speed merchants the world over.

The White / Black / Red colourway may not be as ‘in your face’ as the Yellow / Black / Chilli Red model but with this boot, less is more and for our money, it’s therefore better on the eye.

The upper is made up of soft and extremely comfortable kangaroo leather with grip texture. The lacecover creates a smooth kicking surface and a unique look whilst the injected TPU application on the formstripe adds stability to the shoe.

The one-piece outsole provides stability and support, utilizing a carbon fibre plate in the forefoot to minimize weight and to increase the reactivity in the flex area.

The v1.10 features the second generation of PUMA’s revolutionary UNI technology. This construction provides an industry leading fit by perfectly replicating the unique PUMA AptoLast.

The PUMA v1.10, which comes in at around 232 grams,  retails at £119.99 (and at $199.99 in the USA) and in addition to this new K-Leather model, more of the synthetic versions are on the way.

Upper:  K-Leather with grip texture, lace cover, TPU injected external heel counter.

Outsole: Pebax, TPU, carbon fibre, pointed stud configuration.
