Boot tongue orientation?
I recently bought a pair of Meindl Ohio winter boots. I am generally happy with them, but I have noticed that, after a day of wearing the boots, the tongues of each boot tend to migrate outwards.
You can imagine this by thinking of the label on the tongue, with the brand logo on it. When I put the boots on, this logo is facing directly forwards. After wearing the boots for awhile, I find that the tongue shifts so that these logos are facing outwards at about 45 degrees.
Does this indicate a poor fit?

This could indicate a poor fit, but if they boots are otherwise comfortable then I would not say it is due to a poor fit. It is very possible that as they break in more and more this problem will happen less and less.
If the boot tongue does not have loops to pass the laces through there is not a lot you can do. I would explore various lacing techniques that would put more friction on the tongue.
If you really love everything about the boot except this tongue slippage then maybe you can look into attached loops down the center of the tongue to help keep it in place.
