I've worked as an Aurora guide. Be prepared for long nights, driving in the dark, not having a real social life, losing out on way too many days of skiing, and basically never seeing the sun.
Largely, I use basic/generic versions of insoles in my XtraTufs (the Alaskan version of these kinda boots) to suck up volume and provide a more snug fit inside the boot that prevents your heel from sliding around.
I use the good SOLE footbeds in my skiboots for more comfort and boot control.
