A method for fixing a boot includes mounting a tubular anchoring areas (12, 13), defined in opposite ends of a resinous boot (11), on an outer periphery of a counterpart member (1), and applying a clamping force to boot bands (15, 16) mounted around respective outer peripheries of the tubular anchoring areas (12, 13) to thereby fix the tubular anchoring areas (12, 13) to the outer periphery of the counterpart member (1). Coils (17) are disposed around respective outer peripheries of the boot bands (15, 16) to generate an induction current in the boot bands (15, 16). In this way, a reactive force of the magnetic field is generated between the coils (17) and the boot bands (15, 16) to plastically deform the boot bands (15, 16) and reduce their diameters, whereby the tubular anchoring areas (12, 13) are fixed to the outer periphery of the counterpart member (1).
