White's Boots

[supersalami]

My Brown Buffalo x Brown Dress SJs have arrived! I have 1 question though… what do I do with the top of the tongue? Can I cut it off?

[Chris]

To make the top of the tongue level with the top of the boots?  Yeah, you can cut it off if you want to.  A heavy pair of sewing shears or leather snips would work, if you have some.  A sharp knife would work too, but you'll have to be really careful to keep it looking clean and straight.

sure, but it will shorten anyway with wear. very nice classic SJ's!

as for the vibram 100 discussion further up: they are indispensable in the snow and ice, the 701's are no match here.

Why cut the tongue?? it will shorten when you wear your boots….I think it's that long for a purpose.

[supersalami]

i see. i'll just leave it then. i thought it was kinda troublesome that it was so long and I wasn't gonna put the laces all the way up so it flops down.

They're just scared because your boots could kick their boots ass.

Any reason why you guys go lace-to-toe on these?

[Giles]

Gives you more customisation of fit for different sock thicknesses etc…
