DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELF.
You will need an expert cobbler to do the job. Downsizing the heel by 1-2 cm will make a big difference. Another alternative is to add a platform of 1-2 cm to the boot (don't raise the bridge - lower the river), but you will still have a geometry problem that will need professional attention. Best of luck to you.
