Air Jordan Xi Low (2007) tongue strap too tight

[thuglife67898]

was wondering if cutting the strap would help

I'd say yes.

If the tongue feels like its putting too much pressure on your foot, then yes obviously cutting the elastic bands will fix that. But if the shoe is too small for your foot overall, that isn't going to help.

I've never heard of the elastic bands being a problem on the IE's for anyone

im size 11 these are 11 and the problem is only on the right shoe so cutting it wont kill the shoe?

I would think that the tongue just wouldnt stay in place if you cut the elastic. But i cant see that giving your foot too much more space. If its only the one shoe thats a problem maybe its just a flaw in the shoe

When I cut mine the tongue goes toward the inside of my foot and looks stupid and less functional. I say trying either stuffing them full of newspaper when not wearing them to stretch the elastic a bit or cutting part of the strap. Like half the strap on each side and try that out before cutting it fully.

will try that
