Is there a lacing technique that can help me reduce some of a boot's foot volume?

I have a pair of new boots that fit somewhat big and the grained leather is still very stiff, so I've put in a thin (3mm) leather insole which made the fit nearly perfect. In return, the toe box became a bit smaller and my infamous pinky toe gets squeezed a bit. Took the insole out and it fits perfectly in the toebox again, but I still prefer to reduce the volume a bit.

A 2/3rd insole would probably work, but before I go and buy that, would there be a lacing technique that pushed my foot a bit further down into the boot?

Some recovery after drying them out (following a day out in heavy rain) - mink oil lotion treatment. Still to be buffed with a cloth (which is not a necessity)

Yes, I have the same issue and asked the same question few months back and @Mr.Anderson pointed me to the Straight European Lacing. It helps a bit. Give it a try.

I almost always wear boots even with suits, from left to right

Does this apply to summer as well? I have to admit that I find boots incredibly comfortable and love the way they look. I am just curious that everyone seems to advance the idea that boots are fall and winter only.]
