    Abstract: The shoe tongue centralizer assembly includes a binding post and a centralizer band which, together prevent the tongue of any type of laced shoe, boot or other footwear from significant movement either laterally or longitudinally in the footwear. The two piece binding post threads together by means of mating male and female threaded shafts. The shaft of the top portion of the binding post passes through a hole in the center of the top portion of the tongue of the particular footwear. The hole can be either manufactured in the shoe tongue or made by any means that provides a hole of adequate dimensions for the binding post shaft to pass thorough. The lower portion of the binding post threads into the top portion in such a manner that the top and bottom surfaces of the binding post are flush with the shoe tongue surfaces.
