Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi everyone! I recently received Ava's new s. The tongue is extremly large and I think it seems more comfortable. I was wondering if any of you have cut the tongue back just a bit? It seems to fold a bit with the middle strap. I was even thinking about just cutting out a little V shape for the middle strap to fit more snug. My dh thinks if we cut it at all we will loose the integrity of the leather. Your thoughts as always are appreciated! KK Livi 01/22/03 Ava 05/27/04 Bilat Atypical s 16-18/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Do you mean the Markells? The s are the sandal-type shoe...I don't think they have a tongue. The tongue on the Markells is large but it's never caused any problems. Before you tighten the strap, you can try smoothing the tonue around the sides of the foot to keep it from folding there. In the past, Kori has suggested elongating the keeper slots on the tongue (where the strap passes through) so that it can be pulled further down the foot toward the toes. This might be an idea.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thanks, but I do mean the s. They are sandels. They have a tongue. I call it a tongue. Some might call it a flap. It still serves the same purpose across the instep. It's so big I could cover the buckles on the other side with it. KK > > Hi everyone! > > > > I recently received Ava's new s.
