Halakhah for Yoma 156:12

האוכל ככותבת הגסה בעי רב פפא

According to R'Hananiah B'Tradion. For it was taught: [Even] the king and the bride may not wash their faces. R'Hananiah B'Tradion said in the name of R'Eliezer: The king and the bride may wash their faces. The woman after childbirth may not put on a sandal. R'Hananiah B'Tradion said in the name of R'Eliezer: A woman after childbirth may put on a sandal. Why [may] a king [wash his face]? -Because Scripture said: Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty.13 Why [may] a bride [wash her face]? - Lest she become unattractive to her husband. Rab said to R'Hiyya: How long [does] a bride [enjoy this privilege]? He replied: As it was taught: One must not withhold her adornment from the bride during the full thirty days [after the wedding].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The bride or young matron retains her privilege for thirty days, even if she becomes a mourner after father or mother, her ornaments would be left to her (v. Keth. 4a) . Similar consideration is lawful for the weak mother after childbirth, and for any person in danger of contracting a disease. Hence the 'menace of a scorpion' applies to all, even healthy persons.');">14 The woman after childbirth may put on shoes to avoid a cold. Samuel said: If there is danger of a scorpion it is permitted [for all to wear shoes]. ONE WHO EATS AS MUCH AS THE BULK OF A BIG DATE. R'Papa asked:

Sefer HaChinukh

And concerning the shoe (sandal), our teachers - God should protect them - explained that a shoe is always of leather. And that is what is forbidden on Yom Kippur, but not of a different type. And the principle of the matter according to some commentators is that anything that is fitting for the matter of release (chalitsah) - meaning to say, that it is of leather - is forbidden on Yom Kippur, and permitted to go out into a public domain with them (wearing them) on Shabbat. But anything that is not fitting for release - such as cork and reeds and palms (see Yoma 78b, that it is a shoe of grasses) and other types of grasses (plants) - are permitted on Yom Kippur, so long as they do not go out with them [to a public domain] in a place without an eruv, as we consider them like a burden (and not a piece of clothing, which is permitted). But from the commentators, there are [also] many honored ones that permit one to go out into the public domain with all of them.
