Ok this is a stupid question but my boots have been annoying me lately. They have the "false tongue" in them, the little strip of leather that is serrated at one end and that goes under the laces.
Lately it has been slipping downwards towards the toe of the boot about a half an inch. Not much but enough to get annoyingly in the way or somehow catch on stuff. Ive tried lacing it up tight but that doesnt seem to help. It has two holes which I have ran the laces through but that doesnt seem to be helping. Anyone have any other tricks to get them to stay in place?
I wish I remembered how but years ago when I was in a Whites boot shop the guy did something like looping the laces around the false tongue or something like that and he said it will hold it perfectly in place. But I dont remember what he did, Im considering punching two more holes in the leather higher up and seeing if that helps.
