To Shim or Not to Shim

I've been thinking about it for quite a while.
My right foot pronates a bit and I've had difficult times correcting it. It just doesn't work as smooth as my left one.
Following Bill Begg's advice I thought - OK I've hesitated quite long, let's give it a try.
I put 2 layers of fine sandpaper between the frame and the boot, on the outside. I only had a 12k-skate since then, but it definitely feels different and I think it helps me find the correct edge now when doing drills (or so I tell to myself).
Is it useful or not? Time will tell. Now I should just put in more miles to find the answer :s
Anyway the ultimate plan is to buy a low-cut boot next Spring and leave these trusty K2s...
