Duo have a pair of flat boots in their range this year that have a hidden wedge built in BTW.

Not at all, they are very comfortable. The stretchable materal of the front of the foot holds my foot in fine. I guess it feels more like wearing a wedge mule.

As far as flat boots, taking something flat and getting a 3 to 4 inch heel is far too much of a lift. Besides, depending on the shoes/boot, you have to be careful how much lift you add. I split the sole on two pair of boots last year trying that. These shoes have a nice solid sole which allows me to increase the height.

Another thing you have to consider with boots, the more height you add the tighter the zipper. Split a few zippers that way as well
