Boot Customizing

So last weekend I was putting take around the ankles and top of my boots to make them tighter (my feet are long and narrow) and I came to wonder what other people have done to customize their boots.  I mean everybody has different feet. 
Also painting/stickering, upload pictures of any rad looking pimped boots!

Liners heat molded, gonna get custom Footbeds, possibly booster straps and stiffer tongues. That's all that needs to be done though

Add Booster straps, then cut notches in the cuffs so that the strap can run under the plastic easier. Cut the overlaps of the upper boot shorter, because my legs are skinny and I strap them tight. Grind the bootboard flatter if possible/necessary. Remove all logos if possible. Intuition or similar liners. Old custom footbeds that still work. Vibram soles soon on my alpine boots.
