Puma One 17.1 Firm Ground review

Who should buy the Puma One 17.1 Firm Ground

Considered as the love child of the Puma EvoSPEED and EvoTOUCH, the Puma One 17.1 combined the best attributes of both models to form an all-around performance soccer cleat. This is a good option for you if:

• You're looking for a pair with a mix of bladed and conical studs that would help you in your acceleration and quick turns on the field.
• You're high on Puma's fit, fast, and feel tagline. You're that kind of player who makes it happen with this kind of shoe.

Solid outsole construction of Puma One 17.1

The lightweight Pebax outsole of the Puma One 17.1 offers enhanced traction on natural grass making it suitable for agile players. The reinforcement in the midfoot also provides increased responsiveness resulting in faster take-off times.

Puma One's superb studs

The stud configuration is a mix of conical and bladed studs. The conical studs provide increased traction and maneuverability, while the bladed studs offer support in the toe and heel areas. The reversed “V” stud pattern in the center forefoot provides more control and braking ability. 

Stable central lockdown

The central lacing system is pretty straightforward. However, there are three nylon lace loops, two on the lateral side and one on the medial side, which act as reinforcement elements. These straps are attached to the base of the sole plate to keep the foot locked in when you pull the laces tight.

Puma's outstanding upper setup

The upper of the Puma One 17.1 uses a high-quality calfskin leather that provides a comfortable fit and feel straight out of the box. It sits skin-tight around the foot and gives the optimum control on the ball.

This soccer shoe also features the GripTex technology that provides an additional grip on the ball, especially in wet conditions.

Secure support from Puma One 17.1 Firm Ground

The elasticated EvoKnit material runs through the middle of the soccer cleat where the tongue should be and also makes up the mid-cut collar. It offers a snug fit around the ankle to keep it locked in all throughout the game.

The EvoKnit material also acts as the soccer cleat’s internal lining. Aside from creating a comfortable environment for the shoe, it also decreased the shoe’s overall weight.

The heel area of the Puma One 17.1 is made of a textured, synthetic material. The plastic heel counter is fully internal. The heel liner grips the sock nicely to prevent heel slippage.
