Ripped my tongue out

Ive had a pair of La Sportiva Nagos for maybe 7 or 8 months, I was putting them on when I pulled the tongue to straighten them out (not hard) and it ripped out of the shoe. any one else had this problem with their shoes? I thought id blow a hole through the toe if there was going to be any damage, but never suspected the tongue to rip out.

I thought this was going somewhere else completely.

Bait and switch. Where's the picture of the severed organ?

A friend of mine had that happen to her nagos, common problem. If you contact La Sportiva they will probably fix them for you for free, or you can just sew it back in yourself.

Totally thought this was another rappelling accident.

I think this post is (wait for it)...tongue-in-cheek. (sorry, I couldn't help it). Technically, it would be tongue-in-hand.

yup. had to click. ...
you could probably hand stitch that tongue back in aswell.

ya I might just go for the hand stitching, but ill contact them just so I don't further screw them up

The OP deserves a good tongue lashing.
I've owned six pairs of La Sportiva Mythos and a couple pairs of Megas with NO SUCH ISSUES.

I didn't think it would be a common issue, but someone else said they've had the same problem with the nagos, so maybe the nagos are stitched differently from the mythos or others.

First they turn your feet red. Then the tongue gets ripped out. What do the Nagos do to a person next?

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
