Thanks mate,
The shoes were white 80s.
The original tongue was taken out and was not used. All the tongues are hand made. 3 are foam with felt backing (as close to the original as possible), these are the Qee ones and the blue and orange ones. The others are grey nubuck with a polartec fleece backing and white tumbled leather with the same backing. Those two were lockstitched with an awl. All have velcro sewn in the bottom underside and are connected to velcro attached to a cotton panel which is glued and lockstitched under the edge of the shell toe. Not quite the same attachment as CTs as they have a two sided flap I believe. I bought some CT Century Lows just to check !!!
Good fun - took fucking ages LOL.
