According to someone on the internet these boots come with a gusset/ bellows tongue.

They don’t.

A decent non lined leather boot is near impossible to find.

These are lightweight, nice and wide, barefoot and look good…..but all that means nothing because the first splash of water and you get wet feet.

80% of this boot is redundant , you may have dry ankles but you got wet feet. Absolutely ****ing stupid.
Before I send them back ,smash their shop windows and get the Russians to **** up their website does anyone have a cunning fix?

Buy some really big wellies and wear them over the top of your boots. 👍🏽

Why not have your cobbler bellowsify the tongue?

Not really.

I have a pair. Scarpa do some as well. MrsRNP has some welted boots that are liner less that I'd have to check the make of.

Beat me to it by 13 minutes!

I’m reasonably handy with leather, but I honestly don’t think I could sort something like that; it’s more complicated than it looks. A good leatherworker might be able to sort it, but it’s finding one, and you might not like their prices…

Rogue RB-2 Light boots, leather, not lined, wide fit. Looks may not be to your taste if the above is what you want but I like mine and they have a bellows tongue.
