Shock boot torn

I noticed today that my passenger-rear shock boot is all chewed up. Seems like it dried up, cracked, and now the top half is still attached, but the bottom part is in about 9 pieces and sitting at the bottom of the spring.

Anyone know if they are replaceable? Or is it just easier to get a set of blues?
 
Mine did the same, then the strut went...

I believe to replace it you'd have to uninstall and reinstall the strut?

So to answer... go for the blues! I did (with a set of Eibach's) and I love them.
