The foam in my left boot (on the tongue) is starting to come loose.Did anyone have any good luck with a particular glue?

There are lots of options.. any contact cement (rubber cement, barge glue, etc) should work fine to help hold it down, but if it's peeling off then the rubber in the foam may be starting to degrade and the repair may not last long, in that case the tongues can be relined (yes, even foam tongues) or replaced.

Thanks for the tips.

I'll look around in a crafts store for a contact cement that handles both foam and leather.

It's not bad enough to replace yet. It just looks as if the original glue gave away.
