Should I ? Should I not....

I have been wanting summer boots for some reasons, I dont know why but I imagined an outfit composed of ripped jeans shorts, a loose t-shirt or shirt and some leather summer boots. I started my research online to find the perfect summer boots but I ended up finding a lot of knee high gladiator sandals instead. I think I love them even more than the supposedly summer boots that I have imagined in my head :-) But now I don't know what to choose!! Advice anyone ?
