The rubbing issue.

So my left small toe has been bothering me since November. I originally thought it was my Louis Garneau shoes, and dismissed it as so and stopped wearing them. I have since gave them to a teammate to try/buy from me, and purchased the new top of the line Shimano shoes. Yesterday I took of my new tennis shoes (more like skater shoes since they're Vans). When I got the shoe off I checked the tounge, and it comes into the shoe way up front where my little toe has been rubbing! All that trouble for a bad pair of shoes!
