The upper is made from premium ultra-soft-leather which makes the boot more flexible than its predecessor the King XL, and the toe box is rounder. It has a traditional foldover tongue that is kept down by a hook-and-loop fastener which provides a cleaner kicking area and improves pressure distribution upon ball impact. <\/p>\n<p>The premium k-leather further enhances comfort and performance and the outsole is made from a lightweight high-performance thermoplastic elastomeric material which helps to keep the weight of the boot down.<\/p>\n<p>The PUMA King Finale combines the traditional features of a foldover tongue and central lacing, with innovative and modern technologies such as anatomically shaped Aptolast. The PUMA Aptolast closely follows the foot\u2019s natural shape and provides a glove like fit that allows the upper to mould perfectly to the player\u2019s foot. The boot also has an anatomically shaped sockliner with a memory foam insert. <\/p>\n<p>This boot is a perfect choice for players that want a classic look combined with a modern twist of technology and materials. The PUMA King Finale will be worn by PUMA endorsed players including Gordon D&#8217;Arcy, Nick Abendanon, Kevin Doyle, Wayne Bridge and Phil Jones and on-pitch from the 1st December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PUMA launches the King Finale, the next step in the history of the PUMA King.
