Resists go into forms no matter what item gives it to them.
Boot AC bonuses do not affect your form. I found that +AC v TYPE does not work in shifted forms no matter what item it comes from.
Bonuses in shifted forms is very complex. Factors such as weapon or clawed form, classes, CHA bonus for spell slots, bonus spells, special rules for highest bonus per 'type' of bonus and types of damage are all factors in shifting forms and what bonuses are applied.
