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?

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
