After I wear boat shoes for a whole day, without socks, I get a lot of itching under the tongue of the shoe.Originally Posted by juniper
Does this happen to anyone else? Should I try a different brand, or do I have some kind of allergy?
Athlete's foot? Maybe sprinkling a little foot powder in your shoes would help?

Do you have hairy feet? A leather tongue can irritate if you do.

Some people have allergies to one of the chemicals used to tan leather--chromium salts. Shoes are often lined with vegetable tanned leathers or with leathers that are "finished." And so this problem never surfaces. But I am guessing your boat shoes are not lined. I don't know that this is your problem, but it is worth looking at. If you develop a rash, it might very well be a chrome allergy. If it is, it may get worse and spread to any part of your foot that is in contact with chrome tanned leather...socks or not.
