@Oaktavia I don’t experience that. Is it the tongue of the shoe bunching up?

Yes, essentially the tongue is bunching up, even if I pull the tongue up when lacing. It slides down, kind of like how with converse shoes, the tongue can slide to the sides easily and not stay centered. It may be because I chose the last 12, which was a half size too big. I tried a few different pairs of insoles and it still happens. Maybe I just don't have the right size after all.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia yeah maybe the extra space is allowing the tongue to move around a bit too much and bunch up...

Wondering if maybe it might be possible to add a few stitches to connect the tongue to the body of the shoe? Keep in in place permanently...

I was thinking about something I could do to mitigate this but I wasn't sure how to go about it. Because otherwise, the shoes fit just fine.

Both my pairs, indigo and duck don't do this and the tongue stays in place all the time ..

[Mizmazzle]

Yeah mine stay in place too. Might be they are a little too big and the tongue has room to slide and bunch.

[Oaktavia]

Yes this indeed is the case. They are off to the wild Colorado now.

@Oaktavia They say you should try to walk a mile in another man’s shoes… well now I have! Thanks again Steve!

[Oaktavia]

@SourPower hell yeah man wear them well!

My garden is getting taken over by weeds and a short walk around it ended up with my sneakers tightly covered by these clingy seeds. Each one of them betting on the chance my sneakers would give them a ride to a new virgin garden waiting to be colonized by them.

@Mister_Brue congrats on the purchase! Love my indigo ones but already have to wear them less since the sole starts to wear out a bit, but still lots of life in the denim!!

Bought this pair at Mildblend, Chicago in 2019. They get light and occasional use. Drying after their 2nd wash, the first one was really a soak and minor brushing, no soap. This was a thorough hand wash. I think they look good for another 5 years at least.
