Commentary for Yoma 156:3
אמר ליה רבא ואי לאו מנא הוא כתיתין משוי ליה מנא ועוד כל תענוג דלאו מנעל הוא ביוה"כ מי אסור והא רבה בר רב הונא הוה כריך סודרא אכרעיה ונפיק ועוד מדקתני סיפא אם יש לו בית קבול כתיתין טמא מכלל דרישא לאו בדאית ליה כתיתין עסקינן
Rab Judah went forth in [sandals made of] reeds; Abaye in [such made] of palm-branches; Raba in [such made of] twisted reeds; Rabbah B'Bar Hanah tied a piece of cloth around his legs and went thus forth. Rami B'Hama raised an objection: 'A cripple may go forth with his artificial foot', according to R'Meir, whilst R'Jose forbids it. Both agree, however, that he must not go forth with it on the Day of Atonement.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Shab. 65b. It is assumed at present that although the artificial leg is not considered a shoe, it is yet forbidden to walk out with it on the Day of Atonement. Hence sandals of bamboo should also be forbidden on that day.');"><sup>3</sup></span>
