Erik they are amazing. I think reconstructing the tongue is the way to go, if you have a sewing machine. Just that top layer. getting the tongue in and out is doable with a few cheap tools. Let me know if you want info.. could also get a tailor/seamstress to do it. Definitely worth it for those.

Painting the tongues actually worked pretty good. After removing the old sticky paint with acetone the "mesh" underneath worked well as a base for new paint. As good as new again.

Nice pick-ups Fieldsy! Them blue croc 80s are growing on me.

I couldn't pass on these when I had the chance...
