Dust boot issues - needs replacing?

Well, pushed them back in, it's still troubling me that the dust boot is so close to the pad shim. I can see it melting in the very near future

Well, pushed them back in, it's still troubling me that the dust boot is so close to the pad shim. I can see it melting in the very near future

In the worst case scenario that the dust boot either melts or pops out (I dunno how the latter would happen but I'm not sure why it was protruding more than usual to begin with), will that affect the braking at all? I need to be 100% confident that the brakes will work when I need them to, for obvious reasons lol.

Here is what it looks like right now with everything back together:






Looking at the dissesambly in the FSM, it looks to me like even without the dust boot the brakes should work, but I just want to be sure. Track guys, when you have destroyed your dust boots/melted them at the track, did it affect braking?
