Front shock boots floating at the bottom?

Are the boots on the front shocks meant to be floating around like this? (That is, not secured down somewhere / somehow ?)

Is the bottom of the boot mean to be floating like this?

Yes, they're just dust boots and you'll only notice this at full suspension droop like when the front of the car is lifted. I've yet to own a car that has the dust boots actually attached some way at the bottom of the strut.
