Hey all,
I've been trying to get some good looking boots for a while now (tried Timberland 6" zip, Florsheim Hawley, and even Clarks Flannery) and finally came across these today at Nordstrom: the Aldo Eldringhoff boot in Rust.

They look and feel good but I don't know too much about Aldo other than they seem to put out inexpensive but not cheap shoes. Now, I paid the full $150 for these and was wondering if anyone has had good/bad experiences with Aldo quality.
The material seems to be nubuck and is listed as leather (with a rubber sole). I was sort of hoping to get a pair of boots for rainy day use... but I really liked these. How should I expect the nubuck to hold up to water exposure after treating with the synovia water/stain repellent the salesman recommended?
Thank you for your comments and advice!
Ben
