Blinding is a normal spell: so, if you have spell resistance (e.g. if you are breton or you are wearing the cuirass of savior hide or something similar), the effect will be countered.
To be more precise, the boots of blinding speed give you a malus of 80% blind.
Get 50% resistance to magic (or 50% night eye) and the effect will go down to 30%, darening your screen a bit.
That's the reason why some of you can spot a scrib in the next valley and some of you can't see an ogrim two inches from your nose while wearing the boots.
