The resulting pair of harmonium boots will be blessed, have an enchantment of +0, and grant resistance against the attuned element, as well as obtaining the appropriate minor elemental object property: forge-hot, crystalline and arcing, respectively.

Encyclopedia entry
In Fantasyland these are remarkable in that they seldom or
never wear out and are suitable for riding or walking in
without the need of Socks. Boots never pinch, rub, or get
stones in them; nor do nails stick upwards into the feet from
the soles. They are customarily mid-calf length or knee-high,
slip on and off easily and never smell of feet. Unfortunately,
the formula for making this splendid footwear is a closely
guarded secret, possibly derived from nonhumans (see Dwarfs,
Elves, and Gnomes).
