boots tend to hide stuff rather than protect so no.

Yes. I'm not normally a fan, mainly for the reason given ^^up there^^ by LGF, but that particular fork seems to look a little anaemic without them. I'd run them but be very conscientious in regularly cleaning underneath them.

Of course they protect. Best on.

Interesting that forks went bootless and lo and behold we see extreme wear on the stanchions. Fox and RS being seemingly prone.

You remember seeing them booted bitd then as i certainly did back in the 80s and thought they looked just plain weird the very 1st time i saw them without ..
