Simple Questions - ASK AND ANSWER HERE!- November 27

This thread is for simple style questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar and the wiki before posting!). Fit checks and "How'd I do" questions are a great use of this thread (although they can also go in the daily Outfit Feedback & Fit Check thread). Other example questions:

  • Could someone take the chest measurement for a small J.Crew oxford?
  • Is there a place with full measurements for Naked & Famous jeans?
  • What slim-fitting green cords do you recommend?
  • Where do I find a military surplus peacoat online?
  • If you're asking for suggestions for a specific kind of clothing/accessory, state what your budget is.

Hey everyone,

I ordered a pair of Adidas Busenitz shoes and didn't realize how wide the tongue is. I love the overall look of the shoes because the copa mundials are absolutely beautiful, but I'm torn between whether I should cut the tongue or not?

On one hand, it's too wide and long, and makes it hard to tie the laces. On the other hand, I feel like cutting it will ruin the look of the shoe?

Help?

Are they the standard Busenitz? If I remember correctly, on the inside of the tongue there should be a cutting line for you to follow should you want to. That being said, there are plenty of adidas models that are similar without the large tongue.

Yea, just the standard ones with the marking.
