I would have given them 5 stars if the sole wasn't hard and flat. That would be the only improvement that could be made in these boots would be some arch support.  The sole is completely flat and inserts never work as well as arch support built into the boot/shoe.  If wearing these boots for walking or prolonged standing, they would not be comfortable all day.  I wear them to work where I sit a lot of the time so they are comfortable all day in that scenario.
