They keep the dust out. They should be replaced and are a common "break-down" on FTO's.
I'm just about to replace mine, got a new set from Mike Gibbs Panel House at Slacks Creek (QLD), only set me back about $20.
I'm actually replacing all my boots actually.

you talking about the CV boots??? don't buy them from mitsubishi... i had a broken one and got UAS to replace it without even bothering to ask the price... (stupid me)... Mitsi charge about 140 for a bit of plastic and a couple of tubes of lube..
shouldn't just gone to ansell
there are plenty of companies around that should be able to match it for you and do it cheaply... you do need to rplace these however as dust will get in and eventually destroy the ball joints.
