Talmud for Yevamot 204:17

ותנן נמי אין התורם נכנס לא בפרגוד חפות ולא באנפיליא ואין צריך לומר במנעל וסנדל לפי שאין נכנסין במנעל וסנדל לעזרה

for it is said in Scripture, with their flocks and with their herds they shall go to seek the Lord, but they shall not find him; He hath drawn off<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [H]. ');"><sup>54</sup></span> [the shoe] from them.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' E.V. 'He hath withdrawn Himself from them'. Hos. V, 6. ');"><sup>55</sup></span> The other replied: Fool, is it written: 'He hath drawn off [the shoe] for them'? It is written, 'He hath drawn off [the shoe] from them'; now in the case of a sister-in-law from whom the brother drew off [the shoe] could there be any validity in the act?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Certainly not. It is the sister-in-law that performs the halizah while the brother-in-law only submits to it. God, in the image of the text quoted, standing towards Israel in the relationship of a Ievir to his sister-in-law, cannot perform the halizah, and his action is, so to speak, invalid, the bond between him and His people remaining in force. ');"><sup>56</sup></span> BUT IF WITH A SOCK IT IS INVALID etc. This then teaches that a sock is not regarded as a shoe; and so it was also taught: The man who removes [the monies] from the Temple treasury<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cur. edd. 'we learned'. Cf. marg. note a.l. and Shek. III, 2. ');"><sup>57</sup></span>

Jerusalem Talmud Taanit

“Wearing shoes”. It was stated: In all cases where they said that one may not wear shoes, when he departs on a trip he puts them on, when he arrives at a walled city he takes them off; this includes the mourner and the person in the ban215Babli Mo`ed qaṭan15b. The Yerushalmi version is quoted by Or zarua§277.. There are Tannaim who state, one goes in slippers216Latin impilia, -ium(pl/) “felt slippers”. on the day of Atonement; and there are Tannaim who state, one does not. Rav Ḥisda said, he who said one goes, in textile slippers, and he who said one does not go, in leather slippers217Yebamot12:1, Note 35, Babli Yebamot102b.. Rebbi Isaac bar Naḥman visited Rebbi Joshua ben Levi in the night of the Great Fast218The day of Atonement.; he came to him wearing laced shoes219A leather sole with a textile upper part held together by laces.. He asked him, what is this? He answered, I am asthenic220Greek ʼασθενής. Since the rules of not wearing leather shoes are rabbinic, they are waved for health reasons.. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman visited Rebbi Joshua ben Levi in the night of a fast day221A rabbinic fast day.; he came to him wearing laced shoes. He asked him, what is this? He answered, I am asthenic. They saw Rebbi Shammai walking in the night of a fast day in laced shoes. A student of Rebbi Mana instructed a relative of the Patriarch to wear laced shoes41The ninth benediction where in winter one prays for rain, Mishnah Berakhot5:2.. He asked him, from where? From Rebbi Joshua ben Levi. For Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, I am asthenic.
