Any help would help me to see her more often in high heels.

Ah, the old knee problem. (Maybe we ought to start some kind of injury/medical forum?) So welcome to our forum.
There are no easy answers for the limited information that you provide. However, assuming that the boots fit well and that your wife actually knows how to walk in them, it may be said that sore knees are not uncommon. On the other hand, if the boots do not fit well, then that alone could cause some problems. On the other hand, if your wife is really not a high heeled wearer and has not made any previous effort to learn how to walk in heels, that could also explain this problem.
Most people are not born knowing how to walk in heels. Moreover, even for those who genuinely want to master this fashion, it takes time and preparation. The average person cannot just jump into a pair of 4" heels and strut around like a movie star. Many people spend weeks and even months working their way up to 4" heels before they master the requirements. Even then, some people sometimes experience some mild pains in their neck, shoulders, lower backs, and knees. In my case, a couple of asprin will usually take care of it.
(This is not medical advice and is for informational purposes only.)
If your wife has little or no prior experience wearing heels, she might want to try some lower heels, say around 3" first. If she continues to experience serious discomfort, heels may not be for her. Some people just can't handle heels.
