@DannyTimes I wear my tongue outside of my bottom pants leg front opening inseam. it looks ok kinda inconspicuous unless you're looking for it. I find this the best way. it bothers me before it's a unique look 🔎🕵♂️👟👟
Make use of that long tongue! Run the laces through the lace locks (that second set of holes below the top holes), fold the tongue over the top of your shoe, then tie the laces over the folded tongue to secure it. Twist the lace loops and tag ends and tuck them underneath the tongue. This prevents them from coming untied from physical activity. The rounded crease from the folded over tongue feels more comfortable against the top of your ankle than the skinny edge of the single ply tongue.
Wow, this video has just given a life line to a pair of biker's boots that I bought over ten years ago ! Now, I'm not a biker but I was drawn to shop selling these Harley Davidson boots for less than half the original price. Beautiful boots, right size, and I couldn't leave them alone, so I bought them. Found out later that I had no clue how to manage the extra long tongues on the shoes so, I wore them a handful of times and packed them away for charity or someone else. After watching this video, I was able to fold the tongues away nicely and neatly. Unbelievable, but I feel like I have a brand new pair of shoes ! Very many thanks to you, kind sir !
Smart fix! I’ve owned my Sambas for over five years, but I never kept them in my regular rotation simply because I hated how the tongue would poke out over my pant leg. I always figured there must be a trick but didn’t bother to research it until now. Thanks!

Fantastic! Just followed your hack, and it worked like a charm! Although, I think the tongue looks more natural if you go up FOUR lace holes before lacing through the tongue. Perfect length. 👌🏼

Got some Samba Super on the way and was wondering about this - and now I know. Great to see comments confirming how well it works too. Ordered half a size up so should have plenty room to play with. Thanks for the hack 😁👍
@@DannyTimes turns out I got such big feet the tongues are in proportion. 😂😂 Bought 2 pairs - 1x2010 Kangaroo skin, immaculate condition, size 11 and 1 x 2019, also immaculate condition, size 11.5 as apparently they're tight on wide feet, but both are now my new favourite trainers 😉👍
Cool fix for the long Samba Classic tongue! I’ve applied your “fix.” Now the real test, for me, will be to wear them while I’m out and about and hope that the bunching up of the tongue will not blister the top of my big toes. Fingers crossed!

This is a cool hack for going out, for those who already own the long-tongue classic. There is a short-tongue version of the classic (not og, same price as long-tongue classic). The tongue isn't ribbed though and some of them squeak. The squeaking tongue can be fixed pretty easily (ultra-fine sandpaper), and you won't have bunched up fabric in your shoe.

@@edzmuda6870 how are you supposed to twist the lace loops, tag ends and tuck them underneath the tongue when the laces are tied above the folded tongue?
Thanks , that was helpful. I plan to use shoe trees to hold and hopefully make permanent the crease at the bottom while I’m not wearing the Sambas. Good job.Dannjy.
Thanks, Danny -- worked like a charm, I still feel the difference but you said it yourself, it'll take some time for them to properly mold themselves to my feet I didn't particularly mind the long tongue when I got the Classics but I preferred having my pant leg covering it rather than have it hang freely, I think the lower profile look works better so I was lucky to find your video Again, thanks a lot!
@@roheee8 Stopped noticing pretty quicly; I also bought another pair of Sambas recently and did this trick the night before I wore them for the first time and I gotta say, I was comfortable
I wish they'd bring the Samba K's back, the ones made from kangaroo leather. The leather was way more durable and the tongue was leather and could easily fold over. The only reason why I only had one pair was that the sole wore out and they discontinued them for some reason
Thanks for sharing this video. Do you know any online store where I can purchase original Adidas Samba Classic? It's no longer available in our country. I asked every Adidas store in malls, they said it's phase out.
Oh, I DID do this instead of cutting them at the line with the skate version. It really does help with board feel. Literally depending on whether or not I left the bearing spacers in my bearings.
Hello, I have a question I bought Samba, but my tongue is diffrent I have the Samba performance (019000) Is this especially for football, while the og is for the street?
Yes, the classics and your 019000 have a more thicker suede outlayer for football which makes it more durable than the og. The og are used for casual wear and are said to be more "comfortable" but its not as durable as the classics and the 019000 like you mentioned, also these are also great for casual wear too
Just bought the classics as they cost 45€ and I am not ready to spend 120€ on the OG just for a colourway and a shorter tongue... This video made me even happier I did so
I've been using this trick for over 4 months. 100% would recommend. He's right, you'll forget you even did it.
This is incredible, I wear my sambas everyday to work, in summer the tongues rub above my socks and create a sore spot, thanks so much.
Hope it helps 🙏⭐️

Dork
Did this fix work or did the fold end up hurting your feet?
I’m so glad I found this hack! Just got my Samba classics and was instantly annoyed with the tongue!
Did this trick work or does the fold bother your feet?
The classics are so versatile! I like the folded over look!
Same 👍

@@LiammBotYes a video would be great.
The drip is insane!
Not only does it look good but it also hurts my toes
Worth it!!!
Masochist much? 😂😂😂
DannyTimes really the GOAT for this one fr🐐🐐
Thanks Charlie! 🐐💗

Great to hear!
Just did it
The pushed down flaps feel a little uncomfortable at first but as he said they're very flexible. They eventually mold to your feet

How do they feel? Is the bunch up uncomfortable or noticeable?
I can't believe I never thought of this lol
The tongues on mine always shift to the sides. I'm doing this immediately before I go out. Thanks!

Thank you!!! Been wearing them all day thinking what the heck am i supposed to do with these tongues
You saved my life with this hack

I just purchased a set of Puma Super LIgas.., if this is an issue then I will use this hack
Thank you so much! I was ready to return mine.
do it with the indoor ones
This really helps. Thank you! ❤
Sambas look awesome when they're broken in! I LOVE THEM!!🎉😍💯😊😎😋😉🌎
You’re a genius
Hahaha, thanks! Glad to help 🙏⭐️
How do they differ from the o.g? Apart from the long tongue.
Will it work on adidas busenitz shoes as well?
THIS IS AMAZING I JUST PUT THE SCISSORS DOWN😅
I like the samba classic because it actually has an arch support unlike the OG's 👍
Genius! Thank you for this
Idk man. After like twenty or thirty minutes the tongues begin to slide back out. Did I do it wrong?
Great video!! Thank you
Gracias!!!! había dejado mis Samba en el ropero porque no me gustaba la lengueta.. pero regreso a casa y me los pongo
Glad you’ll be wearing them now!
Dose anyone know the difference between abv sambas and og sambas
thanks for the great tip 👍🏾
im planning to buy one of this days and thank for that idea
Hope you enjoy it!
Gracias amigo 👍🏻
great fix! do you recommend I size up if I want to do this hack?
Dude! Thank you!
You bet!
Awesome! Thank you!
are they comfortable?
Amazing!! Thanks for the tip!
Genius, thank you ‼️
Great video
Amazing, simple tip
Thank you for this! 🙏
Thank you sir!!🙏🙏🙏🙌
Most welcome
You are amazing.
this is so helpful thank u so much
Awesome, glad to help!
the skate version literally has a dotted line with a pair of scissors emblem on them. lol.
Oh, I DID do this instead of cutting them at the line with the skate version. It really does help with board feel. Literally depending on whether or not I left the bearing spacers in my bearings.
You just saved my life!!!!!

What is that creepy sound?
Wow this makes so much sense!
💫👍
Thank you for this!
My pleasure!
Great tip! Thanks.
Thank you 🙏
Very helpful video
thank u so much, this is genius.
Really helpful!
gosh I can't imagine how it doesn't feel like something is foreign and all bunched up inside your shoe after doing this....
You literally can't feel it after a week or so.
the newer skate version of this shoe is literally comparible to the tucked in tongue.
the tongue looks better and colors on the classic look better
@@eden105 we could ruin your foot skating in the classics the AdV version color wise looks adorable to me
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
What an 💡 idea
why did I never think to do this haha
Thank you!
Are these uncomfortable?
No. You feel it slightly at first but overtime it’s not even noticeable
Should I size up ,if I am going to fold the tongue ?
Thank you, friend!
Happy to help 💫
Good tips
Glad it was helpful!
hell yeah thanks dude!
Thank you mister
Amazing!!!
Nice broo thank u!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Thanks men!!
I love you so much bro
