Reference for Pesachim 101:5

ויושבין על ספסלי נכרים בשבת ואינן יושבין על ספסלי נכרים בשבת בעכו ומעשה בר"ש בן גמליאל שישב על ספסלי נכרים בשבת בעכו ולעזה עליו כל המדינה אמרו מימינו לא ראינו כך נשמט על גבי קרקע ולא רצה לומר להן מותרין אתם בני מדינת הים נמי כיון דלא שכיחי רבנן גבייהו ככותים דמו

[Again,] one may go out in slippers on the Sabbath,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Though they are loose-fitting; we do not fear that they may fall off and the wearer will thus come to carry them in the street, which of course is forbidden.');"><sup>7</sup></span> yet people do not go out in slippers in Beri.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A town in Galilee.');"><sup>8</sup></span> And it once happened that Judah and Hillel, the sons of R'Gamaliel, went out in slippers on the Sabbath in Beri, whereupon the whole district criticized them, saying, 'We have never seen such [a thing] in [all] our days'; so they removed them and gave them to their [non-Jewish] servants, but they were unwilling to tell them, 'You are permitted [to wear these].'
