If the boots are torn they should be replaced. I see you have carbotech brakes. There's been at least one torn both times I've changed pads. BTW, I run XP8s as a daily driver with occasional canyon runs so they get a lot of miles and do get hot once in a while. You could probably get away with just doing the boots but why take the chance of getting crud in the seal or damaging it.
