Is it possible to use a wondrous item with some spell-like effect to dispel an opposite spell?

To be precise, I am wondering about Boots of Speed and Slow. The description of Boots of Speed says, that a wearer can click the heels as a free action and act as though affected by Haste spell up to 10 rounds per day.

The question is: suppose, the wearer got affected by Slow spell. Will activating the Boots dispel the effect on the wearer? Will it be suppressed for a round instead? Or some other outcome?

I am inclined to say that the effect is suppressed as long as boots are active (because boots' effect is opposite, but it's not a spell so won't completely disrupt the magic of Slow), but would be good to hear other opinions.
