w_squared Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I have a new pair of 11 eye boots with a leather tongue. After a few minutes of wearing them, the tongue on both boots work there way towards the outside of my leg. Other than cutting a guide in the tongue for the laces to pass through, is there any other way to keep the tongue in the correct position? I've tried different lacing techniques to no avail. Even tried attaching a bit of velcro to the tongue and inner boot to keep the tongue in place, but it didn't stick. Any ideas would be appreciated.

x minit uk Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Sometimes a couple of stitches near the top can cure this, however this may make them difficult to get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w_squared Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Thank you for the replies. I appreciate it. I thought about that as an option but I was hoping there was another solution that would impede putting on the boots. I guess that is a small price to pay for comfort.
