Peeling tongue help. - Lurkzilla - 10-06-10

Picked up a pair of deadstock promods from 94, I knew about the tongue as it reflected the price, thought I would just wear them with fat reds but is there anything I can do to bring them to their former glory?





Cheers Dave.

Nice pros! As for the tongue I think there's little to do. Maybe some scotch tape from the inside if you know how I'm thinking?

A piece of leather glued/taped/fixed over the tongues?

Lace them with the fattest laces u can find so u can't see them

see if a cobbler can remake the tongue with new leather?

maybe you could get an Mi style cover made for them

try and seal it with something before it gets worse, pva glue or something similar? might make them look shinny though

cut the tongue out. replace with a velcro stip and CT changeable tongue.

You could cut out the tongue and put in a velcro strip, but I don't think the mi tongues wouldn't be long enough, but you could make new ones, perhaps like Steve said, a cobbler could make some? Buy some foam or something and perhaps they could knock something up? If you cut the tongue out then they would have a template to work from...

What Nik said, and tell yourself the tongue condition adds character

Very Nice Pro Mods Dave, too bad about the tongue. I would take everything off and let my GF make an exact cover in black fabric. And then glue the cover onto the foam.

I found a pair of those (new) in a UK 8,5 if anybody is interested. €150,-

RE: Peeling tongue help. - Samo - 10-06-10

If I had €150 I'd be all over them Rob...

I'd just remake a tongue and stitch it in.
Wouldn't be that hard to do.
I'd even consider doing it for you as an exchange perhaps ?!?

Ok P, what you after???

I could do you a personalised box top clock in yellow with white stripes, seriously I have bought a few clock mechanisms to try out

I would probably do a trefoil and a 2 to signify 12 o'clock.
