That's exactly what I bought. There is a store here in LA. I went and picked up the boot container and the mens shoe box. Both have that small 1/4" gap I am referring to. I am going to try and grind down the feet on the edge and see if it will fit with the lid. I could always cut up the lid a bit (and leave the edges) so the top has some room for me to work in or drop a mouse in.
