Supra - Suede Tongue Pad with Memory Foam Cushion (1 Pair)

when my Barker's penny loafers came in, I was really excited to put them on and stride around - I purchased a size US -10, though my usual size is US- 9.5. When it finally came in, it was just a bit bigger and caused my heel to slide out of the shoe. Thicker socks didn't work - and the only other option was to get a tongue pad. After looking around I came across Pedag - suede, and Made in Germany, also it wasn't too thin nor one of those thick kinds. Did my research and found out that Pedag had been selling quality stuff over the years. And that's how I ended up purchasing it.
One gripe - - I have a feeling that the glue may not be the strongest, it could fall off after a while, but only time will tell.

The tongue pads are more narrow than the edges of the tongues of the new sneakers that are causing me top of foot pain. I'd hoped the pads would cushion the hard edge of the tongues, but the pads sit to narrow and don't impact the comfort at all. Wish these came in wider versions which could help.

I bought these tongue pads for two reasons. I have narrow heels and wanted to keep my feet from sliding forward in my walking shoes and bumping my toes. I also wanted to pad the too-thin tongue of these shoes to cushion my instep from irritation by the laces.

The pads appear to be solidly made and were easy to apply to the tongues of the shoes. So far, they've stayed in place. My feet no longer slide forward in the shoes, and I can lace them more firmly. My instep is better, though still a bit tender.

THESE ARE BEYOND PERFECT! THEY STAY RIGHT IN THE PLACE AND PROVIDE THE PERFECT COMFORT UPGRADE.
