Advantages: Comfortable, reliable, simple but effective. Disadvantages: Might not appeal to someone after a flashy boot.
...After recently being persuaded by a friend to try on his PumakingPro's, I rushed to the shops to purchase a pair of the exact same boot. In the past I had questioned the need for such an expensive pair of footwear. However, after using them for a period of time I can recommend them to any budding footballer. The Pittards upper is soft without losing the feel for a ball, with extreme comfort. Indeed, I have once worn them for a 5 hour football epic and my feet were only slightly sore as opposed to blistered all over. Also, after treating them with little respect by leaving them to become mouldy in a plastic bag, the leather is still extremely soft and the boot is a joy to slip on. On the field the PumaKingPro acts as it should do, it lets you feel the ball, it grips the ball well when adding curl, and translates the power from your...

...Ever since I was a kid I wanted a pair of pumakings and now I finally have them they do not disappoint. Having wide feet these boots fit me alot better than other brands(namely addidas predators that didnt fit at all well). The aluminium tipped studs are still firm in after 1 season with no sign of becoming loose or dangerous.
Due to the material used Pittards 80 SDL leather they do not shrink when wet and breath well. The boots are easy to clean and the stitching and general manufacted quality is of a very high standard.
However the age old techonology of studs is behind other boots unlike the predators and newer pumakings tend to hurt the parts of your feet where the studs are on harder ground in a hard game.
These boots will last and work hard when you do....

Advantages: High quality cricket bat Disadvantages: Little pricey
... Puma Ballistic 4000
The Product
This is a cricket bat, made by the Australian based manufacturer Puma. Puma make all sorts of sports equipment, but have only recently moved into the manufacture of cricket bats. They have, however, exploded onto the scene and are now amongst the most popular manufacturers.
This particular bat is a Puma Ballistic 4000. All the Puma bats come in a series of grades, 5000, 4000 and 3000. Therefore, the 4000 is a middle range bat, but as the quality of all the Puma bats is so high, this is like a high grade bat from any other producer.
The Ballistic is characteristic for its thick edges and enhanced sweet spot, making it a bat for players of power rather than precision. The 4000 model is made from Grade 1 English willow, the highest you can get. The only thing that differs from the 4000...
