How do I stop this from happening? These are my every day work boots, steel toe Red Wings

To reiterate, because the pic doesn't make it clear, how do I stop the tongue of my boot from drifting to the left after lacing? I only have this problem on my left boot.
>>713109
take more straighter steps would be my guess
>>713109
Maybe unlace it and move the tongue around, move it to center and tie em up tight? If it's been like that a while the leather has been accustomed to being that shape.

Its a design fault
Should've bought nicks

That's a design flaw, also those boots look old as fuck/badly cared for, get some better fucking boots.

I'm not really big on aesthetics but boots like these are just so damn ugly.
Wear Australian style elastic side boots.
Rossi's are my choice personally

Logging boots are the pinnacle of wild land boot designs. There's a reason they were essentially copied as paratrooper boots during WW2, and they've been the standard wildland fire boot for decades.
Fuck, same thing happens to my left boot, different boots though, happens to my scarpa walking boots

I'm not spending 500 fucking dollars on a boot that will wear out after a year. I work on a blacktop in a lumber yard in a sub tropic climate. It's not kind to the soles or the leather.

Can't see what's wrong with those. Would wear/10
I have a question about boots /out/. I'm a poor fag, so I can't spend a lot of money on gear. So I typically end up getting cheap hiking boots that don't fit me well and give me blisters like you wouldn't believe. I have a pair of redwing work boots that fit great and have lasted 6 years of frequent wear. They have almost no traction because the soles are worn out but besides that they're in good shape. Should I just go /out/ in my work boots? What kind of treatment should I give them?
