I'm an AC freak. Still, depending on your gear already those boots would be a nice down-payment on a permanent item (1/3-1/2 the value of an Idol of the Thorned). They are valued higher than cobalt boots and those give you a 8 raw AC benefit vs 9 of the casted spell. I had them on my ranger for a long time and still think they are nice for rangers/rogues/bards...str, hps, and low weight with an AC buff.
In any group situation a sham, cleric, or enchanter will be able to give a much better straight ac buff. Most groups have at LEAST one if not all of those classes.
