You might try Bob's Cardone's footsole insert solution.  A 4
millimeter thick footsole with a heat moldable heel pocket might snug
up your skates half a size and give you lateral support for your heel.

My new Rollerblades E9's are not quite as tight as I would like, they
stop fine but the responsiveness could be just a teeny bit better.
For a full size difference you might have to use duct tape layers
under the heel to raise hour heel into the foot socket.  I would try
the duct tape approach first on your existing liners to see if this
helps.  You can feather the duct tape layers by cutting lengths like
this.  That way you don't get one big lump under your heel.
