A mechanical shaft joint boot of a polymeric elastomer is provided with bellows between a large-diameter ring and a small-diameter ring, a first crest of the bellows being formed between the large-diameter ring the small-diameter ring after the first trough and a second trough being formed so as to have a smaller apical diameter than that of the first trough, and a circumferential convex strip is formed on the sidewardly inclined surface of the first crest on the inner side of the first trough and/or on the respectively opposed inside surface of the second trough. Therefore, the second trough is pushed toward the side of the small-diameter ring and is not held between the first trough and the driving shaft on the compressed side during a crossing movement, which reduces the compression distortion and increases the durability of the boot. |
