I have a pair of Bodileys Westminster Balmoral boots made by Cheaney. They are on the 11028 Last and have a very wide shaft. Does anyone have any advice (apart from just wearing thicker socks) about anything that can be done to reduce the circumference of the shaft?

You can put thick moleskin on the sides to take up some volume
