As above. My oddball ex-racer had her hind shoes off in April last year, and we have successfully been using Cavallo Treks until October, when I roughed her off for a while. She has heart-shaped feet and did have some bull-nosing which has grown out, making her toes a tiny bit longer. Bit too long for her boots now she has grown herself some new feet! I have decided to get her going again and the Cavallos are now too tight to use with the wraps, which she needs or they rub. Next size up is too big.

I'd ideally like a boot that fits below the hairline, as she prefers that, but nothing much matches the shape and as she has a tendency to twist, the boots can spin.

I have a pair of Evos that would fit if her feet were rounder. Is it worth heat fitting those? I tried them before and they rubbed, but it was the old style 'bulb holder' 😂

Her feet grow like weeds!
 
If you don't manage to find boots that work for her try her with hoof armour. It works well for mine.
 
twisting hinds are a PITA to fit.

There is a barefoot farrier in S Devon whose business is custom fitting scoots. They may need heat adjustment or they may need specific padding etc for twisting hinds or whatever else he does to get them to fit.
If that is any use then I will PM you details.
I know him well, he is very good, totally committed to BF and would probably be able to solve your problem longterm.
