However the description for the Ring of Free Action states that the wearer is immune to everything, magical and otherwise, that affects mobility in any way. It only includes haste and slow as examples. Increased movement rate should be negated by a Ring of Free Action, so Baldurdash got it wrong, again.

I think Icewind Dale and BG1 has a much better description of the item:
Ring of free action: 'Edventar's Gift'
This ring was given to the reef scavenger and hunter known only as Edventar, by a group of aquatic elves long his friends. His help in routing the "Pirate Queen" of Dambrath was instrumental in their survival, though Yenandra continues to be feared anywhere the water meets land.
STATISTICS:
Special: The wearer is immune to everything, magical and otherwise, that effects mobility in any way, although can still be hasted. Be aware, however, this will also protect the wearer from beneficial effects such as those received from the boots of speed.
Not Usable By:
So, if the ring of free action prevents anything that affects mobility in any way, and the boots of speed affect movement rate (i.e. mobility), I'd say there's a pretty good chance that the effects from the boots of speed should be cancelled.
