With the shoe shown I would well recommend NOT altering them, the toe is already touching the floor without the recommended “thumb” space Quote:

The heel block placed on these shoes is by design, slightly to high, not to low! Hence the “odd” shape.
If you lowered them then the sole would site on the floor roughly where the ball of the foot is.
As for raising these, this is one of those shoes I couldn’t give you any DIY advice on as the only way I would do them is by replacing the heel block completely, something which you probably couldn't buy easily.
Lowering them I could give some advice but the other way round its not a diy job, sorry.
I think you would find that lowering them is actually the answer.
