We study the effect of optimising the renormalisation and factorisation scales on perturbative calculations of event shape means defined in the Breit frame of ep DIS. Unlike in the case of e^+e^- event shape means, this has only a small effect on the NLO QCD predictions and a large power correction is still required to fit the data. However, if separate renormalization scales are introduced for the quark- and gluon-initiated sub-processes the optimisation has a much larger effect and greatly reduces the size of the required power corrections. Unfortunately, there are then problems fitting the low energy data for some observables.
