I have a pair of LaCrosse boots, the non insulated camo rubber style that are about knee high and have a adjustment strap at the top. When I get them on, they fit fine to loose, to the point of a pair of heavy socks are nice to wear to keep the foot from slipping around in them. This is the time of year that I use them most, they're not heavy or hot, keeps the feet and lower legs dry when working with the dog in the wet grassy areas.
The problem I have is that they are tapered in the ankle area, so it is very hard to get my foot/heel to slip past this area. I don't want to wreck them, so has anyone used a boot powder or know of something that can be used or applied in that area to make them slip on easier?

Never thought of that. So you think the corn starch would have any negative effect, or best to stick with plain baby or boot powder?

Cornstarch being a food item is less likely to have any perfume/scent or other additive which could possibly harm the boot

Or, as Andrew noted - do as the scuba divers really do - borrow a pair of the wifes knee highs (panty hose if putting on a whole wet suit), makes things slide really easy
