1964 Barracuda 4spd Shifter Boot

I bought a shift boot off e-bay a while back. The seller claimed he had bought it from Laysons and he was replacing it because it wasn't the correct shape or material. He had found a NOS so was seliing the Laysons. When I got it I compared the shape to my torn and deteriorated original and it was different. I put it in my car and it ripped in the folds in a few months. It's a shame something as simple as a shift boot can be so difficult.
