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.
