Commentary for Yoma 156:4

אלא אמר רבא לעולם דכ"ע מנעל הוא ובשבת בהא פליגי מר סבר גזרינן דילמא משתמיט ואתי לאתויי ד' אמות ומר סבר לא גזרינן

Said Abaye: There, the reference is where it [the wooden leg] has pads, and [the prohibition to go out with them on the Day of Atonement is] due to the comfort [they bring]. Said Raba to him: But if it be no object of wear [without them], would the pads make it one? And, furthermore, is any comfort not coming from shoes forbidden on the Day of Atonement?
