A quick (and cheap) potential fix: try to tighten up the fit on the old boots with a flat foam insole placed beneath the liner, i.e., above the zeppa (a/k/a boot board) (

YMMV but I found this worked pretty well for a couple of days on boot that were a size too big and it was worth $5 to find out.
