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?

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?

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
If you have £5 and Chuck Norris has £5, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

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,-

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.
