I had a similar problem with my C&Js, and I used a tongue pad like this. It actually works really well, so that's something you could consider.
You could try tongue pads.
i have a pair of red wings that are a touch too big for me, i attached these to the tongues and it solved the problem
Tongue pads should help you. I use them in my Pennies.
Sorry I don't know which ones I have been using. I went to the Alden of Madison store while wearing the longwings and after chatting a bit about sizing they gave them to me. Good guys at that store.
They kinda look like these. https://www.amazon.com/Pairs-Large-Tongue-Shoes-Adhesive/dp/B0030KSCCA
If your heel completely slides out of it when you walk, then I would go down a half size and see what that is like.
Another option is to get tongue inserts to stick to the inside of the tongue, this makes the shoe fit "tighter" and prevents heel slippage. Here's a link
I've used these from Amazon.
Thicker socks and insoles. It's also possible to fill up some volume with a tongue pad.
There is nothing wrong with have svelte ankles! (That is what I tell myself anyway.)
I use tongue pads to get a good fit with high volume boots. Tongue pad example on Amazon. They stick inside the tongue and let you get more lace pressure on your instep in situations like yours.
You can make your own once you sort out your needs as well.
Try some tongue pads, you can get them from any shoe repair place or on amazon

They stick to the inside of the tongue and push your foot further back in the shoe. Should do the trick if you don't plan on sizing down.
Has anyone here used tongue pads?

There's a 2-3 finger gap between the top of the tongue and my calf on my AE Daltons, and I was thinking of using these to fix it.
Unfortunate, your narrow heels seems to be the problem, so I don't think sizing down will help much.
I recommend getting tongue pads. You stick them under the tongue and they fill in the space on top of your instep, and push your feet back against the heel, which should lessen the heel slipage.
You should have gone with the size 41 and put a tongue pad in the left one. One of my feet is 1/2 a size bigger than the other and this works perfectly.
Nothing you can do about shoes that are too small I'm afraid.
I have the same problem with 11.5/12's. I buy 12D's and put these on the underside of the tongue, which stops the heel slip/squeak.
Ideally, though, you should buy a narrower shoe. 12B's fit me perfectly, they're just hardly ever available for anything but full price and are usually custom order.
These ones worked well.
What are you using them for though? Tongue pads and heel pads have different purposes.
Yes, it should help to make the boot fit about 1/2 size smaller overall. There are also tongue pads and heel pads that you can stick on, but I have no experience with those. Link

I recommend getting a medium one.
Shrinking? No, but you can try tongue pads or heel liners. If you have an AE store you can take them too, they're usually pretty great about helping make them fit, including the things I mentioned (I think they do tongue pads).
Edit: Something like this or this.
This may or may not work with non-laced shoes, but I just learned about tongue pads. They're little fluffy/padded stickers kind of like heel-grips, that adhere to the tongue of a laced shoe or possibly just the top of your shoe wherever it's too loose. Maybe that would help your sliding-forward problems.
Loose in length or loose in width? Because if they're a little too long AND the tongue is made of solid fabric or leather (instead of mesh) you can buy tongue pads that stick to the inside of the tongue. Don't bother with inserts for the back of the heel/achilles unless you also beef up the front of the shoe: heel pads alone don't push the foot enough to tighten properly.
If you want an insole just to fill up space it should be soft, thin and flat so as not to alter whatever insole is already in there. I like the Moneysworth leather insoles. Size up if you are in between sizes, they run a little small.
Have you tried insoles? Generally if i find a pair that are too big, ill put some thick insoles in them and potentially some tongue pads as well.

Good luck, hope that helps.
