*bumping this old thread!

I recently ran into these boots at Barneys and think they're just what I'm looking for. I know almost nothing about Fiorentini and Baker, but from what I saw I love the rugged distressed and simple look to it. I was too lazy to try them on so don't know how they fit. Can you all chime in on your opinions about Fiorentini and Baker? Quality? Durability? Comfort/fit? Also, should I pick 'em up right away, or wait and see if they get marked down at the end of the season since I don't HAVE to have them right away?
