Boot Fit: Adding A Shim, Adhesive Choice?

Boot Fit: Adding A Shim, Adhesive Choice?
Krampus
:
Hithere. Thanks for stopping by!
I have a pair of Dalbello Boss boots with a Polyurethane shell (so I have read)
I also have a pair of fucked up feetsies. There is a significant difference in the size of my heels, to the tune of about half of a shoe size.
I'm tired of losing my right big toenail to toebang. Two years in a row now and I'd love to not make it a third!
I've got some materials set aside to shim the heel of my boot shell but I'm not really interested in breaking down the shell material with adhesive.
In your experience, will using your average one or two part plastic bonding epoxy (Dept store Loctite, for example) be a safe choice?

It seems that PU isn't on the list for either so I have my concerns. Better options? Am I over-thinking this?
Thanks for your insight
