This happens to me all the time, I was hoping someone here may be able to help me out. Whenever I'm running, the tongues on my shoes will shift to the side, and after a mile or two I need to stop and adjust them back to normal. A few notes: This happens with every running shoe I have ever used, and yes, my shoes fir properly. Does this happen to anyone else? Anything I can do about it?

I've not had this problem, though I have heard it's more common with lighter weight shoes. That's one thing I've read about the tongue on the NB 902--they did a sort of daisy-chain thing with the tongue so that the laces loop through in more than once spot. It does not budge AT ALL:

I'm kind of surprised that more shoes don't have this feature, since I have heard other people complain of it. Would tying them snugger maybe help?

This happens to me with any shoe i have, even the ones I wear as normal sneaks. I think I just have odd feet. It doesnt ever bother my performance or anything like that, but I'm just OCD about it. I love those shoes with all those anchors though - why dont all shoes have this???

It happens to me in my everyday shoes too. I was hoping there was some magic fix I was unaware of. I've tried lacing up tight before, and that doesn't help (except in the foot pain department, it helped out there a lot). I guess next shoe I get will have the multi-anchor approach. Thanks for the help!
