hey, it started to annoying me...
in most of my adidas sneakers, tongues 'turn left'! does anyone know any solution for that? i don't really know how to call it...

[pokey27]

I so feared what i was going to read when i saw this thread .But on the tongue thing i can't say i've noticed to be honest m8!! abit of a puzzler this 1

Both shoe's tongues turn left? That is weird.
My knowledge of medieval superstition leads me to believe that they have indeed gone down the devil's path. In medieval times they would be burnt at the stake. I believe that the modern solution to the problem of turning to the dark side would be to buy a pair of Yodas.

Do you lace through those tag things on the tongue?

hey, I'm left handed!

the tongues on my gazelles, right shoe only, would slide down to the right, no matter how often i adjusted or how tight i tied them.

maybe that's why i don't wear gazelles anymore.

Don't worry zwer, i was talking in a historical context, I'm not going to burn you at the stake...



...unless I get more evidence...

[sin`pl]

lol. tongue in left shoe turns left after few steps (!) and vice versa in right shoe.
i don't lace thru that tag on the tongue. in some old superstars i don't have this problem, just in the new ones.

Ah. I get ya. I think when the padding in ss2s starts to go down it stops doing that. One of my vintages does that too as the leather tongue is so long and hard (pokey I know you are tempted to make a pun here!)

I'm sure that lacing through the tongue would help, but I'm not gonna do it!

Biggest foot problem is the lace tops getting on the side or under your feet when you walking! Especially on the 35ths and the adicolors. My Cey Adams aint the comfortablist things at the best of times!!!

o the same thing happend to my af1's like only one side had a retarded tongue very strange, but for me it didnt cause discomfort only the image changed..

[spitey]

sin , i think ya answered ya own question fella. use the lace lock on the tongue. or maybe you walk funny dude.

[sin`pl]

i remember that in one of my first pairs (classic black/white) of soups, i had exacly same problem, and i was lacing them thru that thing on tongue. didn't help at all.
and trust me, i walk completly normal

[spitey]

im only messing sin. if it bothers you that much. stitch the tongue in place. only an idea fella

[streak]

i think it only seems to happen to people with clown sized shoes...

[Lorrie]

That's offside!

I find it interesting that people are having problems with this - I used to have it all the time with gazelles, but never with soups. maybe the design of the superstar matches the design of my foot?

or maybe some people need to switch to clogs?
