Link hesitates. "...These aren't your only boots?"
Because the possibility that this might be a temporary loan hasn't occurred to Link. And while he has shamelessly taken all of someone's footwear from them when given the opportunity, that was different. That was Bozai, who spent his time lurking outside Gerudo Town and leering at everyone coming in or out. Including Link, while he was wearing his Gerudo clothes.
Whereas Gladio had yet to make aggressive romantic overtures towards Link at all - even though Link was wearing that exact same Gerudo outfit. So doesn't want to leave the man without any shoes at all.
