I'd probably put them up on Ebay and buy a pair that fit right. About
the only things you can do with these are to wear a heavier sock or to put in thicker foot beds. Both of those will help, but how much is a question, don't expect them to ever be right. Plus as they pack in over time, they will only get worse. When trying on a boot and wearing them use a thin sock. Later, if you need to, you can go to a heavier one if you really need to. |

If they are too big just buy a set of inner soles. Any hiking store
sells them or pharmacy. Buy good ones and you will be happy. If you did not use them you can try to return them. Just tell them that you picked up the wrong box by accident. |

"Just tell them
that you picked up the wrong box by accident." I don't know where you buy stuff, but in my experience, if the vendor accepts returns, which most do, the boots not fitting are a perfectly valid reason for returning them, without having to lie. I'd have to disagree with foot beds being a solution he'll likely be happy with. If a boot is oversize, foot beds may help, but are unlikely to fix the problem, as foot beds only take up some room vertically, which may reduce problems like heel slip. But they don't address the real problem which is the boot is too long and the foot will move for and aft. |

I think some boots use one shell size to cover more than one boot size, when paired with different liners. But if all you want to do is eliminate the comfort, it should be easy... |
