Brake Caliper Question

I'm wondering if it's safe to drive the car without the rubber boot on the piston of the rear brake caliper? Both of the rubber boots came off when i replaced the rear brake and rotor.

You could, highly dont' reccommend it. Dirt will get into the piston and fluck it up, plus the fluid is much more likely to escape then
