Description

Tired of your shoe tongue sliding to one side while walking or running?

TongueAnchor is a tiny clip-on shoe tongue stabilizer designed to keep your shoe tongue centered without modifying your shoes or removing the laces.

Installation

For each shoe, use:

  • 1 Left TongueAnchor

  • 1 Right TongueAnchor

Simply:

  1. Hook one end onto the eyelet flap (the side panel containing the lace holes).

  2. Hook the other end onto the edge of the tongue.

  3. Repeat on the opposite side of the same shoe.

The anchors gently connect the tongue to the shoe's side flaps, helping prevent unwanted side-to-side movement.

Comfortable Design

Unlike many tongue-retention designs that sit directly between your foot and the tongue, TongueAnchor stays primarily between the tongue and the eyelet flap.

This means:

  • The tongue itself acts as a cushion between the clip and your foot.

  • Only a tiny hook flange touches the foot area.

  • That flange is just 2 mm thick, making it practically unnoticeable during normal use.

Tested Performance

Successfully tested on shoes from:

  • Puma

  • Kalenji

  • Skechers

  • Campus

  • Abros

  • Other brands

In testing, TongueAnchor remained securely attached and effectively kept the tongue centered during both walking and running.

Print Information

  • Very low filament usage

  • Quick 3.5-minute print

  • No supports required

  • Easy installation

  • No modifications to the shoe

  • No unlacing required

A complete set consists of 4 clips:

  • Left and right clip for the left shoe

  • Left and right clip for the right shoe

Small, lightweight, fast to print, and designed to solve one of the most common shoe annoyances in just a few minutes.
