That is disappointing. I read somewhere that most of the race teams do not bother with dust boots at all - most if not all of the boots all eventually melt and disintegrate due to heat. This means more frequent maintenance and potentially rebuilds if you visit the track often enough.
Perhaps regular rebuilds can be avoided with careful preventive clean ups, and lubrication of the top of the pistons with high temp synthetic grease (portion above seal).
