I received a pair of Raichle 123 boots size 24.5 from another Bomber member but the tongues in the boots are from a larger model. I am looking for a pair of tongues size 22.5 to 24.5.

Has anybody upgraded the Raichle SB tongues and still have the spares.

Thanks.

if the tongues from the 225's are compatible. I have an extra pair of those.

My understanding is that tongues from any SB/Spa/LeMans are interchangeable as long as they are the same size.

Exactly.

The ones on my wife's boots are too big and do not allow the top buckle to do up properly. They must be the 25-27.5 size. The size on the tongue must be 22 to 24.5 for a proper fit.

The 225 tongues are pretty stiff - you may indeed want to get some from Bomber, unless you are trying to stiffen the boots as well in which case take ~tb's. My wife has 225's and we got some softer ones because they were too stiff for her.
