The Puma Future Z introduces a completely new shape compared to its predecessor, sparking curiosity about a laceless version. For years, Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus has worn a laceless Puma Future boot that is not available commercially—he creates it himself by removing the laces. Inspired by his approach, we decided to test the latest Puma Future Z without laces and share our on-pitch impressions.

Key Technologies in the New Puma Future Z
Before discussing the laceless experience, it helps to understand the technologies built into this edition:
- FuzionFit+: A compression band at the centre of the boot that wraps completely around the foot. Its goal is to lock and stabilise the foot, preventing excessive movement that could lead to injury.
- Grip Control Pro: A thin gel layer that adds cushioning and improves grip when contacting the ball.
- Evoknit Pro: An ultra-lightweight, super-stretchy knit upper that allows easy entry and then moulds perfectly to the foot.
- Z-shaped outsole: Designed for stability and excellent traction.
Marco Reus and the Laceless Reality
It is true that a professional like Marco Reus wears these boots without laces, but his pair is likely custom‑made to the exact shape of his foot. Therefore, our experience will not be identical to his. Still, we wanted to see how the off‑the‑shelf Future Z performs when the laces are removed.
First Impressions
From the first moment, the boots feel spectacular. Puma has delivered a lightweight, snug‑fitting boot thanks to the knit construction, with exceptional grip. The standout feature is the FuzionFit compression band—a detail perfected to the last millimetre. It provides noticeable foot support and stability, resulting in a super‑snug fit.
Can You Wear the Puma Future Z Without Laces?
Yes—even without laces, the boot performs well. Our main concern was that support would drop and the foot might slip, but that did not happen. The knit upper moulds like a second skin, and the compression band on the instep adds security. However, because the boot is designed with laces, keeping them on provides an even tighter fit. For those who prefer a more locked‑in feel, leave the laces in; if you want more freedom, removing them still yields one of the best football boot experiences available.

Puma continues to impress with innovative, versatile products like the Future Z. Yet we end with a question: if Marco Reus has been playing without laces for years, why not simply release a laceless version? Will Puma ever do that? Share your thoughts and let us know if you have tried these boots.
