Kevin, your mileage is pretty low.  Unless the boots have been torn for
years and years, you should be able to get away with just cleaning and
repacking them with new boots.  We actually have Lobro boot kits available
right now.  $16 each is a pretty good price too I think.  Here is a link if
you want to check them out:
