It would be an awful shame to risk ruining such a nice pair of boots.
Not neccesarily ruined as you could always get new heels put on to restore them. The process to lower heels is like increasing them but in reverse, you will need to bend the shank to make the pitch OK. A cobbler will take off 1.5 cm at the most but it'll make a huge difference.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELF.
