Does anyone know a good way to shrink footpockets about half a size (US)? I have Sporasub full footpockets and I'd like to get them a bit more snug without having to wear a thicker sock.

Sorry.
You can cut the foot pocket from the above and thread it with a wire or something and wear it like a shoe - never saw it being done but heard about it here in those forums as a solution for hugh feet, might work the otherway around. But probably not worth the hassle for half a size.
Maybe padding the footpocket from the inside with neopren or even epoxy or other material with more appropriate qualities...
 
I've padded my cressi footpockets with neoprene - at the heel and the part that is on top of the foot - works really well and gives my sock something to grip to.

Well I just use Black Witch neoprene glue, which works fine. But I guess any contact adhesive would be fine.
