Talmud for Yevamot 204:20

ה"נ מסתברא דאי לא תימא הכי קשיא יום הכפורים איום הכפורים דתניא לא יטייל אדם בקורדקיסין בתוך ביתו אבל מטייל הוא באנפילין בתוך ביתו אלא לאו ש"מ כאן באנפיליא של עור כאן באנפיליא של בגד ש"מ

there is no difficulty: The one Baraitha<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which forbids the wearing of a sock on the Day of Atonement. ');">⁶⁵</span> refers to a leather sock; the other<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That dealing with entry into the Temple court. ');">⁶⁶</span> to a felt sock. This explanation is indeed reasonable. For were you not to say so, a contradiction [would arise between one statement dealing with] the Day of Atonement and [another statement which also deals with] the Day of Atonement. For it was taught: No man may walk about in slippers in his house,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' On the Day of Atonement, when as a part of the affliction (cf. Lev. XVI, 29) the wearing of shoes is forbidden. ');">⁶¹</span> but he may walk about in his house in socks.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which is contradictory to the Baraitha previously cited there the wearing of socks was forbidden even where one only walked from one bed to another. ');">⁶⁷</span>
