A shoe upper is provided having a tongue strapping system. A tongue is provided having two or more straps which extend through apertures formed in the sides of the shoe upper. When the tongue strapping system is implemented, the straps serve to create pressure between different portions of the shoe upper, resulting in a secure and enhanced fit.
