What does 'TF' stand for in TF football boots?

How does the fold-over tongue improve fit?
The fold-over tongue is designed to provide a more integrated and secure fit around the foot, reducing the chance of slippage during play.
Can these boots be used in wet conditions?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. Try loosening the laces before putting them on and re-tightening them to your preferred fit. Adjust the fold-over tongue strap for a more personalized fit.
Traction feels insufficient on the pitch
Verify that you are using the boots on the intended artificial turf surface. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could impede grip. Clean the outsole thoroughly.
Tongue shifts during play
Make sure the fold-over tongue strap is securely fastened. Experiment with different lacing techniques around the ankle area to help keep the tongue in place.
Materials appear stiff
The HybridFeel upper may require a short break-in period. Wear the boots for a few short training sessions to allow them to mold to your feet.
